Plan Your Hawaii Trip with My Podcast!


Aloha Reader!

Quick question: Have you listened to my podcast yet?

I know, I know. Another podcast. But here's why this one actually matters for YOUR trip:

I built it specifically to replace the 47 Google tabs you currently have open.

Instead of piecing together advice from random blogs (that may or may not be accurate), you get everything from someone who's actually been to Hawaii 40+ times WITH KIDS.

Here's how to use it:

Phase 1 - Big Picture Planning (Start here!): Listen to the episodes on choosing your island and the biggest planning mistakes. This will save you from booking the wrong island for your family.

Phase 2 - Booking Strategy: Episodes on flights, hotels, and when to book what. This is the stuff that saves you actual money.

Phase 3 - Daily Planning: Activities, beaches, restaurants - organized by island. Listen while you're meal prepping or driving carpool.

Phase 4 - Packing & Prep: What to actually pack (and what to leave home). Listen to this one the week before you leave.

My favorite way to use it?

Download a few episodes for your actual flight to Hawaii. By the time you land, you'll be fully prepped and ready to go.

And hey - if you find it helpful, leave a rating! It helps other parents find the show.

Aloha,

Marcie

Every single visit has taught me something new about these incredible islands. After four decades of systematic exploration, I want to share the insights that only come from extensive repeat visits – the kind of knowledge that transforms you from a casual vacationer into someone who truly understands Hawaii.

Aloha Reader! Spending Thanksgiving in Hawaii this year? Smart move. But here's what you need to know (that nobody tells you until you're already there): WHAT'S OPEN: Most restaurants (and they're BUSY - make reservations NOW) All beaches and parks Major grocery stores (for your morning coffee run) Hotels doing Thanksgiving buffets ($$$ but convenient) WHAT'S CLOSED OR LIMITED: Many local restaurants close for the holiday Some tour operators take the day off Grocery stores may have reduced...

Aloha Reader! When you eat, where you shop, and even when you visit certain attractions, can dramatically impact your costs."Hawaii is so expensive!"
