Quick question: What should I test on Oahu & Maui?


Aloha Reader!

Quick question for you:

As I mentioned a couple days ago, I'm heading to Oahu and Maui in mid-February. I'm already planning to test out new luaus and restaurants, but I want to know: What else should I check out for you?

New activities? Hidden gems? A specific beach or snack spot? A hotel you're considering? Anything you've been curious about?

I'm open to any and all suggestions, though I probably won't re-test the big classics I've already covered extensively (Pearl Harbor, Road to Hana, Haleakala, Dole Plantation, Polynesian Cultural Center, etc.).

Here's the deal: Send me your suggestion by hitting reply, and if I'm able to check it out, I'll feature it in a future blog post or podcast episode and give you credit for the idea!

I leave mid-February, so I need your ideas soon. What should I add to my list?

Just hit reply and let me know!

Aloha,

Marcie

I pulled together the most helpful podcast episodes for overwhelmed Hawaii parents. These are the ones that walk you through decisions step-by-step in a way that...

Aloha Reader! Quick question: When was the last time your kids had REAL input on a family vacation? Not the "we asked their opinion but already booked everything" kind of input. I'm talking about actual say in where you go and what you do. If you're like most parents I work with, you might be surprised to learn that your kids probably have stronger opinions about your Hawaii trip than you realize. And according to new research, 85% of kids born after 2010 (that's Gen Alpha) are actually...

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...
