<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-648" height="168" src="http://traveltomaui.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/red-hibiscus.jpg?w=300" title="red hibiscus" width="300" />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Which Hawaiian island is best for your wedding?</b></li>
<li><b>How many people will be attending?</b></li>
<li><b>What time of the year should you travel to Hawaii?</b></li>
<li><b>How long will you stay?</b></li>
<li><b>Will you visit a second island for your honeymoon or just stay on the one island the whole time.</b></li>
</ul>
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-707" height="168" src="http://traveltomaui.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/hana-maui-and-ko-at-kealani-071.jpg?w=300" title="Road to Hana by Marie Glodt at Travel to Maui" width="300" /><br />
As your destination wedding travel agent I can answer all of these questions for you and save you money too! <br />
<br />
<b>One great way to save money on your wedding decorations is to BUY your wedding linens instead of renting. You can ship them directly to Hawaii and have them waiting for your arrival.</b>
We love <a href="http://www.linentablecloth.com/" target="_blank" title="Linen Tablecloth">Linen Tablecloth </a>for all your wedding linen needs. Not only do they offer great prices and wonderful customer service, they also ship to Hawaii for a reasonable fee.
I attended one of my clients weddings recently here on Maui at the Olowalu Plantation house. I took a couple of before and after photos of what a difference it made by adding chair covers, and sashes.<img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-806" height="168" src="http://traveltomaui.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/ltc-destination-wedding-on-maui-hoopa-before-flowers-and-sash-photo-credit-to-marie-glodt-033.jpg?w=300" title="LTC destination wedding on Maui.

After picture of huppa with blue sash. This only cost <br />
the client less than $10.00. They added a few blue sashes to the huppa and what a difference it made.

Last week I had the privilege to be invited on the Kauai Visitor Bureau Master Specialist Program. This invitation only event is limited to a select few travel professionals from around the United States.
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-791" height="168" src="http://traveltomaui.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/kauai-master-program-2012-241.jpg?w=300" title="Kauai master program 2012 241" width="300" />
<br />
<br />
We started our trip by enjoying the beautiful sunset by the pool at the Courtyard Marriott in Kapaa.
<img alt="" height="84" src="http://traveltomaui.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/courtyard-by-marriott.jpg?w=150" title="Courtyard by Marriott" width="150" />In addtion to this property being a great value it also has a wonderful pool, clean and comfortable rooms, and air conditioning!!! <strong>Many properties on the island of Kauai do not have a/c.</strong> You will find a/c mostly in deluxe or luxury properties such as the Grand Hyatt.
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-789" height="168" src="http://traveltomaui.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/grand-hyatt-on-kauai-photo-by-kauai-master-marie-glodt-at-travel-to-maui.jpg?w=300" title="Grand Hyatt on Kauai.

<br />
<br />
I have been to Kauai many times over the years, but this trip was a mixture of business and pleasure. Not only did we scout out great hotels and condos on the island, but we also experienced some the best tours Kauai has to offer. <img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-781" height="168" src="http://traveltomaui.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/boat-trip-of-na-pali-coast.jpg?w=300" title="boat trip of Na Pali Coast" width="300" />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Our tours ranged from the relaxing river boat tour with the Smith’s Fern Grotto, to the exciting mountain tubing with Kauai</strong>.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Mountain tubing is really fun for all ages</strong>. This ditch and tunnel system once irrigated vast sugar crops and has been unused since sugar was taken out of production in 2000. This water system runs through some of the most beautiful lush and remote land on the island of Kauai. The waters originate near the top of Mount Wai’ale’ale, one of the wettest spots in the world. These ditches were hand-dug by plantation workers over a century ago. <br />
<br />
<br />
We also went on a fantastic dinner cruise off the Na Pali Coast line. This rugged coast line is an amazing sight of endless shades of green! <strong>The night I did this trip we had dolphins swimming right next to the boat.</strong> <img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-778" height="168" src="http://traveltomaui.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/great-dolphin-shot-on-kauai.jpg?w=300" title="great dolphin shot on kauai" width="300" />
Just a side note. This trip is not for the folks who get sea sick. As the waters can get rough due to the winds and seas.

<strong>Kauai is full of fun things to do, or just relax and do nothing at all! Kauai is also known for her beautiful spas. Enjoy your romantic honeymoon on Kauai getting a couple massage, listening to a waterfall as colorful Koi fish swim by.</strong>

<strong>As a resident of <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> and a
Hawaiian travel agent I like to give my clients lots of ideas of fun things to do while
they are here. Many things are very inexpensive or in some cases FREE!</strong><br />
<br />
Maui is c<span class="frb">aptivating, romantic, charming and so much more! Enjoy a day trip to the waterfalls in Hana, or </span>or just sit back and relax and watch a great
sunset at the beach!<br />

<st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> is
blessed with wonderful weather year round. One of the many
things I love about <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> is it has something
for everyone.<br />

<strong>Not a water person?</strong><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not to worry Maui has lots of different options for your Hawaiian vacation. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Do you like adventure tours? For example a
zip line cruise, or horseback ride, or a helicopter tour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<strong>Love the ocean and want to snorkel on your own?</strong> The best
location will be depending on the time of day (mornings are best) and the time
of the year. Our surf comes from the North during the fall and winter
months, and the South during the summer and early fall. So what might be an
awesome snorkel spot when your friends were here in December might be a
terrible spot for you in the summer. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>Want to see a waterfall up close? Looking for rainbows in Hawaii?</strong> Then the road to Hana is
for you. This 75 mile drive is best when planned as an all day event. The
reason is the road is very curvy, narrow, and often times just one lane. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S-2zuY9s7MXa7a_tBzgDuCxqHDczLsUYnae13NdGeXyYj6nuJ2JjCgoxs6P0VOd8fhqLNRksn5odJZ8Q2sUSKh4ZxtJ1Q2D7aDAczN0RTVnZ3DfqX9ApXLzxXa9YrXDrvoZBQU4MnQ/s1600/00185.Seven+Pools_Hana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S-2zuY9s7MXa7a_tBzgDuCxqHDczLsUYnae13NdGeXyYj6nuJ2JjCgoxs6P0VOd8fhqLNRksn5odJZ8Q2sUSKh4ZxtJ1Q2D7aDAczN0RTVnZ3DfqX9ApXLzxXa9YrXDrvoZBQU4MnQ/s320/00185.Seven+Pools_Hana.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<strong>The
best tips I can give you for Hana would be: <u>don’t go if you get carsick</u>, pull over if
you get a local behind you (or they will pass on a curve) and pack plenty to
eat and drink. And don’t forget to fill up with gas before you leave your
hotel!</strong></div>

Another popular day drive would be the dormant volcano of <st1:place w:st="on">Haleakala Crater</st1:place>. This is a very popular destination at
sunrise. But dress warmly as even in the summer this 10,000+ summit is in the
40’s or sometimes colder!<br />

Maui has great beaches! This would include Kaanapali Beach, Makena Cove, Kihei, Big and Little Beaches, Kapalua and Napali. <br />
<br />
<strong>One of my favorite beaches would be <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Big</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Beach</st1:placetype></st1:place>
in Makena</strong>. This is located on the south side of <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place>.
This means expect big surf in the summer months and use caution as no life
guard is present.</div>
As you can see there are many things to do on the Magical <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">island</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Maui</st1:placename></st1:place>. Check out these great videos on youtube from the Hawaii Visitor Bureau:<o:p> </o:p><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Part of my job is to qualify
activities for my clients just as I do accommodations</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">. This is done by personally staying
at the properties we offer, going out on a tour or excursion, plus our valuable
feed back from clients.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Recently I
had a client booked on one of our preferred snorkel trips to Molokini. As it
turned out I was in harbor at the same time they were getting off the boat. I
asked them what they thought of the tour? Their reply was exactly what I wanted
to hear. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“We were so glad when we showed
up and saw the boat you had booked us on.” “We saw many boats with countless
people on board and thought I hope that isn’t the one we are going on!” <u>They
thanked me for booking them with a quality tour company with a great staff, personalized
service and well maintained equipment.<o:p></o:p></u></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">I think
everyone should go to a luau at least once during their stay. If you have
already been to a luau I suggest a more traditional luau with authetic Hawaiian
hula. I believe <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> has the best luaus in the
state!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
As a resident of Hawaii and a travel agent at <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/" target="_blank" title="Travel to Maui">Travel to Maui </a>I am blessed with being able to hop in my car and in 60 minutes or less be at wonderful 4 star resorts.<br />
<br />
<strong>This weekend I celebrated in style at the Fairmont Kea Lani</strong>. I decided to splurge and got a beautiful deluxe ocean view suite. I only stayed one night but I sure did a lot in just 24 hours.
<a href="http://traveltomauiweddingtips.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/fairmont-kea-lani-photo-credit-to-marie-glodt-travel-to-maui.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-361" height="112" src="http://traveltomauiweddingtips.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/fairmont-kea-lani-photo-credit-to-marie-glodt-travel-to-maui.jpg?w=150" title="Fairmont Kea Lani photo credit to Marie Glodt Travel to Maui" width="150" /></a>
I will start with the things I learned on this trip about the Fairmont Kealani.
I have stayed here many times. But I always find something new that I have over looked.<br />
<br />
On this trip I found out they have a water aerobics class for free, every day except Tuesday & Thursdays. It is in the adult’s pool at 9:30am.<br />
<br />
I have never done the complimentary canoe ride for guests staying at the Fairmont Kea Lani, but I plan to on my next visit. This is held Monday-Friday and books up often times weeks in advance. You can make a reservation by contacting the Fairmont Kealani’s concierge desk.<br />
<br />
Another great tip is if your suit case GROWS while you are here on Maui ship some of your goodies home ahead of time. The Fairmont Kealani concierge desk will help you box it up in the USPS priority flat rate box. For $13-16 you can stuff everything in a box and be done with it. Generally it takes 3-5 days to arrive at your destination.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Another great benefit of being a guest at the Kea Lani is the free shuttle in the Wailea area</strong>. This is a great option if your husband is golfing and you want to go to The Shops of Wailea.<br />
If you would like to attend a luau being held in the Wailea area you can take the shuttle!

<br />
Of course I had to go to Ko when staying at the Fairmont Kea lani.
<a href="http://traveltomauiweddingtips.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/kealani-ko-maui-2012-016.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-367" height="84" src="http://traveltomauiweddingtips.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/kealani-ko-maui-2012-016.jpg?w=150" title="Kealani, Ko, Maui 2012 016" width="150" /></a>We went for lunch one day and dessert the second day. WOW! Everything was great.
I will include some pictures of the bread (it is amazing)
<a href="http://traveltomauiweddingtips.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/kealani-ko-maui-2012-019.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-369" height="168" src="http://traveltomauiweddingtips.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/kealani-ko-maui-2012-019.jpg?w=300" title="Kealani, Ko, Maui 2012 019" width="300" /></a>
<br />
<br />
The fish I had was fresh, flaky and perfectly cooked. It came with rice. My friend had the flat bread pizza with a mango bbq sauce. Very good! The salad with the fresh ahi had the best dressing on it.

We tried the shaved ice or Hawaii shave ice.

Photo credit to Marie Glodt at Travel to Maui" width="168" /></a>
The following day we stopped by just for dessert. I had the tropical sorbet which is on their special menu. I should mention this too. This is an awesome menu located on the back page. They have things for any kind of diet. Gluten free, raw, low calorie and more!

<br />
<br />
The deli at the Kea Lani is called Caffe Ciao. <strong>It is inexpensive and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.</strong> Caffe Ciao also has great snacks and a wonderful selection of wines and beers. I love to take my food to go and sit out on my lanai (balcony) at the Kea Lani and enjoy the view.<a href="http://traveltomauiweddingtips.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dlx-ocean-view-at-the-kea-lani-photo-credit-to-marie-glodt-at-travel-to-maui.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-375" height="168" src="http://traveltomauiweddingtips.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dlx-ocean-view-at-the-kea-lani-photo-credit-to-marie-glodt-at-travel-to-maui.jpg?w=300" title="dlx ocean view at the Kea lani photo credit to Marie Glodt at Travel to Maui" width="300" /></a>
On this visit I had 2 salads. I tried the tomato mozzarella which they sell by the pound. I also tried the special of the day. Both were great.
<br />
<br />
I decided to try a place I have been hearing about for months in the Wailea area.
It was about 5 minutes from the Fairmont Kea Lani. It is called Pita Paradise in Wailea.
The food was excellent. I had the spicy falafel. It was tasty, slightly spicy and very filling. My friend had the Greek burger. This is ground beef and lamb with feta, onion, lettuce, and tomato on pita bread. He gave me a bite (or two) and I loved it.
The food was reasonable. It was $9.00 for my falafel and $13.00 for his burger. The service was good. The place was clean and parking is easy to find.<br />

A <a href="http://http//www.traveltomaui.net/php/weddings.php" target="_blank" title="wedding">wedding</a> is a most joyous occasion for any couple, but there can also be a lot of stress involved in planning a <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/" target="_blank" title="travel">wedding</a>, especially when travel is involved. <strong>One of the many things to consider is what to do with pets when planning a trip.</strong> <br />
<br />
While many pet-owners are now making an effort to include their pets in the wedding festivities this is not always feasible. Especially if you are having a <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/php/weddings.php" target="_blank" title="destination wedding">destination wedding</a>! Pet-owners should have the peace of mind that their pets are being properly cared for while they are celebrating their nuptials.
<br />
<br />
More people are turning to professional pet sitters to assist in the care of their precious family members. <a href="http://www.petsit.com/" target="_blank" title="PSI">PSI </a>pet sitters currently make more than 10 million visits to pet-owning homes each year.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Pets typically experience less stress and anxiety over their owner’s absence when they can remain in a familiar environment</strong>. Pet sitters make this possible with daily visits to your home.<strong> </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>In addition to meals, exercise, playtime and cleaning, pet sitters may also administer medications, walk dogs, and perform overnight visits as well as any other pet care duties.</strong>
Pet sitters also provide vital home care and crime deterrent services such as mail and newspaper pick up, plant care and watering, rotating lights, opening and closing blinds, and placing trash outside for pick up. <br />
<br />
<strong>Most importantly, you can relax and enjoy your <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/php/weddings.php" target="_blank" title="wedding">wedding</a> or <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/" target="_blank" title="travel">vacation</a> knowing that a knowledgeable professional is caring for your home and pet.</strong><br />

<br />
As a resident of <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> and a
Hawaiian travel agent I like to give my clients lots of ideas of fun things to do while
they are here. Many things are very inexpensive or in some cases FREE!<br />
<br />
This can range from day trips you can do in your car. To
great places to have a romantic picnic for 2, or just sit and watch a great
sunset on <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place>.<br />

As you can imagine <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> is
a beautiful island blessed with wonderful weather year round. One of the many
things I love about <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> is it has something
for everyone.<br />

<strong>Not a water person?</strong><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not to worry Maui has lots of different options for your Hawaiian vacation. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Do you like adventure tours? For example a
zip line cruise, or horseback ride, or a helicopter tour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<strong>Love the ocean and want to snorkel on your own?</strong> The best
location will be depending on the time of day (mornings are best) and the time
of the year. Our surf comes from the North during the fall and winter
months, and the South during the summer and early fall. So what might be an
awesome snorkel spot when your friends were here in December might be a
terrible spot for you in the summer. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>Another great option is to go on a snorkel boat. Molokini crater is a marine reserve just off the coast of Maui.</strong></div>

<strong>Want to see a waterfall up close? Looking for rainbows in Hawaii?</strong> Then the road to Hana is
for you. This 75 mile drive is best when planned as an all day event. The
reason is the road is very curvy, narrow, and often times just one lane. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S-2zuY9s7MXa7a_tBzgDuCxqHDczLsUYnae13NdGeXyYj6nuJ2JjCgoxs6P0VOd8fhqLNRksn5odJZ8Q2sUSKh4ZxtJ1Q2D7aDAczN0RTVnZ3DfqX9ApXLzxXa9YrXDrvoZBQU4MnQ/s1600/00185.Seven+Pools_Hana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S-2zuY9s7MXa7a_tBzgDuCxqHDczLsUYnae13NdGeXyYj6nuJ2JjCgoxs6P0VOd8fhqLNRksn5odJZ8Q2sUSKh4ZxtJ1Q2D7aDAczN0RTVnZ3DfqX9ApXLzxXa9YrXDrvoZBQU4MnQ/s320/00185.Seven+Pools_Hana.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<strong>The
best tips I can give you for Hana would be: <u>don’t go if you get carsick</u>, pull over if
you get a local behind you (or they will pass on a curve) and pack plenty to
eat and drink. And don’t forget to fill up with gas before you leave your
hotel!</strong></div>

Another popular day drive would be the dormant volcano of <st1:place w:st="on">Haleakala Crater</st1:place>. This is a very popular destination at
sunrise. But dress warmly as even in the summer this 10,000+ summit is in the
40’s or sometimes colder!<br />

<br />Maui has great beaches! This would include Kaanapali Beach, Makena Cove, Kihei, Big and Little Beaches, Kapalua and Napali. <br />
<br />
<strong>One of my favorite beaches would be <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Big</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Beach</st1:placetype></st1:place>
in Makena</strong>. This is located on the south side of <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place>.
This means expect big surf in the summer months and use caution as no life
guard is present.</div>
<br />
As you can see there are many things to do on the Magical <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">island</st1:placetype>
of <st1:placename w:st="on">Maui</st1:placename></st1:place>. <br />

As a Hawaiian Destination Specialist, and travel agent at Travel to Maui I get asked all the time “<strong>What is fun to do in Hawaii?” Or “Can you tell me the things I can miss while I am there?”</strong><br />

Hawaii is blessed with wonderful year round weather. <strong>Our average temperature is 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows you as a visitor (and me as a resident) to enjoy the sunny outdoors year round!</strong>

Listed below are a few of my favorite things to do in the Hawaiian Islands. <strong>This includes: Maui, Molokai, Kauai, Oahu, and the Big Island of Hawaii.</strong>

<br />
Hawaii is filled with a rich heritage. The Native Hawaiian people ancestry can be found on all the islands in our museums, ancient fishponds, petroglyphs (fragile rock drawings), and on the island of Oahu the residence of royalty.<br />
<br />
<strong>Oahu</strong>: The gathering Place Oahu is home to some of the finest museum and historical sites in the islands. Historical sites on Oahu would include the <strong>Arizona Memorial, Bishop Museum, Iolani Palace, Mission House Museum, or the Dole Plantation</strong>. Ride a Hawaiian canoe or learn how to surf on world famous Waikiki Beach.<br />

<strong>Maui:</strong> The Magic Isle
Maui is filled with wide variety of tours and activities. <strong>This includes everything from agricultural tours- zip line rides over lush green valleys</strong>.
Maui also has also been noted more than once for having the best beaches and traditional Hawaiian luaus.<br />

<strong>Kaua</strong>i: The Garden Island<br />
One of my favorite tours is the combination zip line tour with a 30 minute horseback ride on the north shore.
<strong>A few more fun tours would be the mountain tubing, river kayaking or stand up paddling</strong><br />

<strong>The big island of Hawaii</strong>: Hawaii’s Island of Adventure<br />
<strong>The island of Hawaii is the only island in the state with an active volcano</strong>.
I have flown over it by helicopter. I have seen the lava flowing into the sea while cruising by on my 7 day cruise of the islands. Both options were AMAZING!
It is a must do when you are in Hawaii.

<strong>This special 7 day cruise begins on the island of Oahu</strong>. Many people enjoy a day or two in Hawaii prior or after their cruise. I personally like to do both, and the cost is very reasonable!<br />

<br />
Your first night will be spent on the island of Oahu in Honolulu. This is located about 10 minutes from Waikiki Beach.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>The next day will be on the island of Maui. You will arrive at 8am and will stay until the following evening departing at 6pm</strong>.

<br />
Another fun thing to do is check out the waterfall at Akaka Falls<strong>. You will be departing at 6pm to arrive in Kona at 7am.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>In Kona you will spend time checking out the shops on Alii Drive, or stop by the Kona Brewery for a great beer! Departure is at 6pm the same day.</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>The next port of call will be the island of Kauai. You will arrive at 8am and depart the following afternoon</strong>.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The road to Hana is an experience to say the least! <strong>It has over 54 narrow bridges, 600 hair pin turns, and the beautiful coast line of the eastern side of <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place></strong>. This road is not for the faint of heart or someone who tends to get car sick!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> and the road to Hana video from Youtube and the Hawaii visitor bureau:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<a href="http://youtu.be/5mg-SAzovSk"><span style="color: blue;">http://youtu.be/5mg-SAzovSk</span></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The road to Hana is the experience</b>! Often times you see folks rushing to get to the town of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hana</st1:place></st1:city> or the 7 scared pools (Pools at Ohe’o). When you do this you miss out on so much! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><u>Here are a few of my favorite tips when visiting Hana</u>:</span></div>
<ul>
<li> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Leave early! By early I mean in the car ready to go by 7 or 8am. This is an all day event and you do NOT want to be one of those folks driving the whole way back in the dark!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Fill up your car with gas before you leave the resorts. Gas is normally anywhere between 70 cents to a dollar more a gallon than anywhere else on <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place>. When I was there this weekend it was $5.67 per gallon!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Pack a cooler with snacks, water and lunch. There are a few fruit and food stands along the way or the 2 places to eat in Hana town. I ate at the Travaasa Hotel. Formerly known as the Hotel Hana Maui Resort. The food was good. Afterwards I did a tour of the hotel and checked out the suites and sea cottages. If you would like to stay in Hana this would be my first choice! They are also one of the only all inclusive options in the state of Hawaii!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Stop often to check out the sights, but when you do make sure and pull over OFF the road so others can get by.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong> While we are on the subject of driving IF you have a local behind you (they will generally be the one tail gating you) a word to the wise <u>PULL over</u>! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you don’t many times they will PASS you on a curve putting you both in danger!</strong></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Why doesn’t <st1:state w:st="on">Hawaii</st1:state> offer all inclusive vacations like <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region>?</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwa0HTVJMbdA1cwDWDscWs4-3vow8JGTtcooP7rCq3_-jzb4jjwejg-Gigaxei_Y4kDAW-A-gpyR8iS6gc4mUn52ulXwaVLEGj6DFFgxVqKdnGiDUARL7a1ZhG-0Gt5WLVjadi8rP0dw/s1600/na378ls4.tif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwa0HTVJMbdA1cwDWDscWs4-3vow8JGTtcooP7rCq3_-jzb4jjwejg-Gigaxei_Y4kDAW-A-gpyR8iS6gc4mUn52ulXwaVLEGj6DFFgxVqKdnGiDUARL7a1ZhG-0Gt5WLVjadi8rP0dw/s320/na378ls4.tif" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The reason is simple. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">All inclusive vacations work best in places where you really want to keep the traveler from leaving the resort</b>.</span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In the case of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region> you need to be concerned about health issues from eating outside food and drinking the local water.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Luckily for <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hawaii</st1:place></st1:state> we have the lowest crime rate in the nation, and our food and water is not only good it is GREAT! </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></o:p></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Often times a hotel or resort here in Hawaii will offer a meal promotion such as a free breakfast.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> As a <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/php/hawaii-travel.php" target="_blank">Hawaiian Destination Specialist</a> with the <st1:state w:st="on">Hawaii</st1:state> visitor bureau and a travel agent at <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/" target="_blank">Travel to <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place></a> I know that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">such promotions are not always the best price!</b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always double check with our discounts wholesalers to get the cheapest and best options for our clients!</b> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have found that unless you are a big breakfast eater for example you will wind up paying more for this.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Another thing to keep in mind is that there are many tours and excursions that you will want to engage in when here in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hawaii</st1:place></st1:state></strong>. This includes tours and excursions such as: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a zip line tour, or snorkel trip to a marine preserve. These tours normally include food and drinks. If you have prepaid your meals you will feel cheated if you leave the property to enjoy one of these activities.</span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Arial;">In this week’s blog I wanted to address the price of airline tickets. As a travel agent for Travel to <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> I get asked this question all the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <strong>Why are tickets so expensive this year?</strong></span></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></o:p></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">There are many things that factor in when pricing your airline ticket.</span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">For example:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"></div><ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Dates of travel. When is high season and when is the cheap time to travel to <st1:state w:st="on">Hawaii</st1:state> and <st1:place w:st="on">Tahiti</st1:place>?</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Day of the week. What days of the week are cheaper than others and why?</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></ol><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">On our Travel to <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> website FAQ page </span><a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/php/travel-faq.php"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">http://www.traveltomaui.net/php/travel-faq.php</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"> we address these questions and more. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">For example when booking a trip to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hawaii</st1:place></st1:state> to get the cheapest airline ticket Monday-Thursday will be the least expensive day to fly. Friday, Saturday and Sundays have a weekend surcharge imposed by the airlines. Saturday is always the most popular day and the most expensive day of the week to fly</b>. </span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: Arial;">What else will make your airline ticket price jump?<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"></div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Price of fuel (as the cost of fuel goes up so does the price of your airline ticket)</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Supply and demand (holidays, or peak travel dates will make the ticket prices more expensive)</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Departure city (often times the cities with the most competition will have the best rates, but not always)</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">How booked the flight is when you make your reservation? Is the lowest fares already gone? They seldom come back. Even if there was a sale if your flight is full you won’t be able to cash in on the sale!</span></li>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Are you purchasing a refundable or nonrefundable ticket? Most airline and online travel websites push the nonrefundable ticket. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Here at Travel to <st1:place w:st="on">Maui</st1:place> we offer a cancel waiver to cover your travel package. This policy gives you piece of mind especially when you are booking months in advance. That way you can secure the lowest prices on your airplane ticket and travel package and still be rest assured “just in case of an emergency</b>.”</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong>What to wear on your </strong><a href="http://www.veilsbyjules.com/" target="_blank"><strong>wedding day</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="http://www.sheerdelights.net/" target="_blank"><strong>night</strong></a><strong>?

In an age where travelers of all ages turn to the Internet to book flight and hotel reservations, modern travel agents are offering expert advice on cruises and tour packages to far-flung locales, advice on the best of everything a particular city has to offer, exclusive perks, hidden discount prices and the security of an adviser in case of inconvenience or disaster</strong>.</em> “</span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em>“Successful agents know that their customers have access to lots of travel information -- often too much -- and want time-saving guidance, exclusivity and security in a complicated world.”</em></span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Or this quote by Travel & Leisure magazine: “<em>The average traveler is spending something like ... nine web sessions and visiting 21 websites in order to book their travel," "Travelers are really looking for some advice, somebody who can answer questions for them, somebody who has experience in traveling, and they can't always get that online."</em></span></div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />

“<em>The resort was very, very nice. Their beach was wonderful and the rooms were exactly as you described them.

I would like to share my top #4 tips with you today regarding your flights to Hawaii.<br />
<br />
<strong>1. Make sure and read your documents carefully. </strong><br />
<strong>2. Reconfirm your flights and issue your boarding passes online as soon as they become available. This is generally allowed by the airlines 24 hours prior to your departure flight.</strong><br />
<strong>3. Arrive early at the airport. At least 2 hours prior to flight on domestic flights to insure the best seating and allow for adequate time to clear security with TSA.</strong><br />
<strong>4. If you plan on eating on the flight bring a credit card. Most airlines no longer accept cash!</strong><br />

<br />
This information comes from past wedding couples, wedding vendors such as photographers, <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/php/weddings.php" target="_blank">wedding</a> coordinators, and more.<br />
<strong>The first and foremost important thing to keep in mind is “it is your special day!”</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjzzyArIXaznlQquJQPcVVCz4XAsMUmUlHCXYTXAzDyQDokMj3ziZf0IAnM5BMdAbQ2cr2oq00X-cG7-ZRfqjPhGuDV9uUicn9CR8BkBUwZiwd1Lncoowh3BKEc7vHP-6CVPk2xPKZ6Q/s1600/brideshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjzzyArIXaznlQquJQPcVVCz4XAsMUmUlHCXYTXAzDyQDokMj3ziZf0IAnM5BMdAbQ2cr2oq00X-cG7-ZRfqjPhGuDV9uUicn9CR8BkBUwZiwd1Lncoowh3BKEc7vHP-6CVPk2xPKZ6Q/s320/brideshot.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><br />
<strong>Try to not let your guests determine your </strong><a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/php/weddings.php" target="_blank"><strong>wedding</strong></a><strong> date or location.</strong> If they are not able to attend your destination wedding due to finances or health reasons let them know you will miss them. Then do your best to include them later by sharing your wedding video and photos. <br />
<br />
<strong>Many wedding couples have a small function when they return home. This is a great way to include all the guests in your special day who were not able to attend your wedding.</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj35vjFPOUYOjzVUKCzZTUkSL7dt1dJH7Mvq7_-Mxg4ObraQjXruI2VI6VcPYaqo30W82Ir5w_pXjJfvxX88Gv7J9iwUdmSmsYX_lF9Tk0_SFgAwWDezr4Kno15XT9rfpP8ZyiU7gyhw/s1600/ghk+couple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj35vjFPOUYOjzVUKCzZTUkSL7dt1dJH7Mvq7_-Mxg4ObraQjXruI2VI6VcPYaqo30W82Ir5w_pXjJfvxX88Gv7J9iwUdmSmsYX_lF9Tk0_SFgAwWDezr4Kno15XT9rfpP8ZyiU7gyhw/s320/ghk+couple.jpg" width="306" /></a></div><br />
<strong>The first step when planning your destination wedding is to set a date and location.</strong><br />
It may be a good idea to have some flexibility with this to lock in the best prices.<br />
<br />
For example many private locations offer a discount if you do a day of event verses a nightly function. This may not be available 365 days of the year. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2EobRweK596FjjvK-DYqfJ4BzmmKs7px4Mob-6wGRzBG_Gk5dt8toaC6oUuH92a5-ROt7q1-DprBZIQQJYspJBU3-dLL89xrZWH6KfvCb6keC2u5P7gClm5SJQMNtNH_pnEa7XkW_dw/s1600/ghk+chairs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2EobRweK596FjjvK-DYqfJ4BzmmKs7px4Mob-6wGRzBG_Gk5dt8toaC6oUuH92a5-ROt7q1-DprBZIQQJYspJBU3-dLL89xrZWH6KfvCb6keC2u5P7gClm5SJQMNtNH_pnEa7XkW_dw/s320/ghk+chairs.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><strong>The next step would be to secure a wedding planner or coordinator. They will be able to save you time and money in addition to hiring with the best vendors in the business</strong>.<br />
<br />
<strong>After you have locked in your wedding date, location and venue the next phase would be your travel planning. </strong>You will be able to lock in your airfare 330-300 days prior to departure. Because most wedding sites become available a year in advance this will be perfect timing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2cRhznMQl-eSXqduqsV-YL291VpOSQU_7m7s94lYTeByyRBrTeIrKw2TRnm_Yw6QZ8sS6rYfZROJtM-PXD46QASa9TigbKH-ncEuTTagtrZnuAFAm_KCpGpvstT0t1NzVUUqgXROrGg/s1600/IMG_2960.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2cRhznMQl-eSXqduqsV-YL291VpOSQU_7m7s94lYTeByyRBrTeIrKw2TRnm_Yw6QZ8sS6rYfZROJtM-PXD46QASa9TigbKH-ncEuTTagtrZnuAFAm_KCpGpvstT0t1NzVUUqgXROrGg/s320/IMG_2960.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/" target="_blank">Travel to Maui</a> averages 50+ destination weddings per year for the last 11 years. During this time we have arranged travel packages from 2-120 people.</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd3O4tET3ZmnvuO6Gz2t4UXFS8OUBqKOZuZu-yB7K0Q08uXkIhRzjSJDcpoUxqm1DH8Bn94k3AkR-vi2PnTi9vDQwWm93ckvELVTiktlbxnmp-VUfVJ4pKB41N-AlyAB9_vx6fkzwl5A/s1600/ghk+couple2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd3O4tET3ZmnvuO6Gz2t4UXFS8OUBqKOZuZu-yB7K0Q08uXkIhRzjSJDcpoUxqm1DH8Bn94k3AkR-vi2PnTi9vDQwWm93ckvELVTiktlbxnmp-VUfVJ4pKB41N-AlyAB9_vx6fkzwl5A/s320/ghk+couple2.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><strong>The bride and groom normally secure their travel reservations first</strong>. This is followed closely by the wedding party, including close family members. Guests tend to wait until the last minute. That is why it is a good idea to set your RSVP date 45 days or more prior to the wedding.<br />
<br />
I have heard of wedding parties where the guests never RSVP and just showed up at the destination wedding. Or worse they did RSVP and then no showed. In either event this added extra stress at the day of wedding, not to mention the expense.<br />
<br />
<strong>When you book your wedding with <a href="http://www.traveltomaui.net/" target="_blank">Travel to Maui</a> we advise you of each and every guest once they have confirmed their travel plans.</strong> <br />
<br />
It is a good idea to send out your save the date information 6-12 months in advance. This allows your guests time to request the time off, and to arrange their travel.<br />
<br />
One cute idea I have seen when doing a destination wedding to Hawaii is to send out a Hawaiian post card with the wedding information on it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGKz11-qkTnVgRf9mD9hSKMIBfyZDUNhHmjr-LX0m6hTId7tBymXXDmjagaJGxpcTZ7v_8L8RDS4hVsA9UnLEKlmZOPJeqS-fX7g58Oig_q9Rq79siTMLq-mkusO0SgjNdBxOYmDlVzg/s1600/sunset+by+kathy+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGKz11-qkTnVgRf9mD9hSKMIBfyZDUNhHmjr-LX0m6hTId7tBymXXDmjagaJGxpcTZ7v_8L8RDS4hVsA9UnLEKlmZOPJeqS-fX7g58Oig_q9Rq79siTMLq-mkusO0SgjNdBxOYmDlVzg/s320/sunset+by+kathy+2011.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>This would be followed by a formal invitation closer to the wedding date.<br />
<br />
<strong>Another great tip when planning your destination wedding is to set up a wedding website. Here you can list your travel agents contact information, wedding details and any other information necessary</strong>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Once you have completed all the above information you can sit back, relax and count the days until your upcoming wedding in paradise!</strong><br />

Such as a horse drawn carriage in the snow may sound romantic but timing the weather can be a little tricky to say the least.<br />

Don’t be expecting a Costco or McDonalds during your stay as they don’t exist on the island of Lanai (or Molokai).<br /><br /><strong>Want to see an active volcano?</strong> The big island of Hawaii has been “growing” since 1983.
