Decide Where to Stay Now! Here's How
|
Aloha Reader! Can I tell you about the email I got last week? A mom wrote: "I've had 47 browser tabs open for THREE WEEKS trying to figure out where to stay in Maui. I'm losing my mind." Friend, I felt that in my soul. The "where to stay" question paralyzes more people than anything else. Because once you pick your accommodation, it feels locked in. What if you choose wrong? What if the other area was better? Let me help you close some tabs. If you're going to Maui: The Kaanapali vs Wailea debate is REAL. They're both beautiful, both great for families, and completely different vibes. Kaanapali vs Wailea - where to stay in Maui → I break down the actual pros and cons based on traveling with real kids (including one very honest section about which area is better for different age groups). If you're going to Oahu: Most people automatically book Waikiki. But should you? This guide covers Waikiki, North Shore, Ko Olina, and everywhere in between. You'll learn which area matches your travel style and what you're hoping to get out of your trip. Here's my promise: after reading these, you'll feel confident in your choice. Not because you've picked the "perfect" place (there isn't one), but because you'll understand what you're getting and why it works for YOUR family. Now go close those tabs and enjoy your New Year's Eve. 😊 Marcie P.S. Still feeling stuck? Let's talk through it in a consultation. Sometimes you just need someone who's been there to say "yes, that makes sense for your family." |

Aloha Reader, "I should have done this so much sooner." That's what Katie told me after our one-hour consultation. She's a planner, the kind of person who usually has every tab open and every spreadsheet color-coded. And even she said the call took more stress off her plate in sixty minutes than weeks of her own research had. I get a version of that message almost every time. People come into our call a little embarrassed, like they should have figured it all out on their own by now. They...
Aloha Reader, New episode just went live today. My friend Kim Fidler took her family to the North Shore of Oahu for spring break. It was her kids' first time in Hawaii. She did not start with Waikiki. I sat down with her to get the full trip report — what made her choose the North Shore, what surprised her, what she'd do differently, and whether it was the right call for a first trip with kids. Thirty-eight minutes of real talk from someone who just got back. Listen on Apple Podcasts | Listen...
Aloha Reader, If you've been to Waimea Valley, you already know the waterfall is worth it. The 45-foot cascade at the end of the trail is one of those North Shore moments families talk about for years. But this summer, Waimea Valley is offering something I haven't seen there before. A Sunrise Tour that starts at 7:30am, before the Valley opens to the public. You get exclusive early access, a guided walk through the botanical gardens, and you're among the first people to swim under that...
