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 just got back from Oahu and Maui and I have been trying to figure out where to even start with this email. I'll start with parking, because I'm still a little salty about it. I've parked in Waikiki before. I know it's not free. But when I pulled into the garage at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and the total came to $65 for self-parking, I had to just sit there for a second. That's one day. The garage is also so tight that on one afternoon there were zero spots...
Aloha Reader, Planning spring break in Hawaii? I need to be straight with you about a few things that are genuinely different from other times of year. First, spring break isn't one week. Different school districts break at different times from late February through April, which means Hawaii doesn't get one big surge and then quiet down. It's sustained busy for weeks. If your dates are flexible at all, avoiding that peak March 15-30 window can make a real difference in both crowds and...
Aloha Reader, Just got back from a few days on Maui and wanted to share what I found while it's still fresh. You all sent me some great questions before I left, so let me get right to it. The Maui Ocean Center is still worth it (and there's a bonus now) Several of you asked about the Maui Ocean Center and I'm happy to report it holds up really well. We happened to go on a day with a massive local school field trip so it was busier than I expected, but even with the crowds we had a great time....
