The one thing I always book in Hawaii

Aloha Reader, If you're the one behind the camera on every trip, this one's for you. I have been on 20+ Flytographer shoots around the world (8 of them in Hawaii) and I am a huge fan. Like, I will tell anyone who will listen how much I love this service. Because here's the thing: I take approximately one million photos of my kids on every trip, and I have almost none of myself actually in them. Flytographer fixed that. But what I didn't expect was how fun the shoots themselves would be. On our last one on Maui, my 12-year-old was very much not interested in doing a family photo shoot. Classic. But our photographer had him climbing rocks within about five minutes, and then she asked him to give ME a piggy back ride, and he was dying laughing. Those ended up being some of my favorite shots from the whole trip. Get $20 off your first Flytographer shoot On Oahu we did a full family shoot and our photographer had us all pretending to be dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. My family still talks about those photos. The point is, a good Flytographer photographer doesn't just take pictures... she makes it actually fun, even for the reluctant tweens. If you've been wanting to try it, now's a great time. First-time customers get $20 off when you book through my link. You'll actually be in the vacation photos this year. Worth it. Get $20 off your first Flytographer shoot Aloha, Marcie P.S. The $20 off is for first-time customers only — so if you've been on the fence, this is a good reason to just go for it. |

Aloha Reader, The first time we did an inter-island flight, I treated it like catching a subway. We showed up about 25 minutes before departure, bags in tow, fully relaxed. We made it. But just barely. And I spent the whole walk to the gate sweating through my shirt, which is not the vibe you want at the start of a Hawaii vacation. Inter-island flights are short (Oahu to Maui is about 25 minutes in the air) but the airport experience is completely normal. Security line, gate, boarding. Budget...
Aloha Reader, This is the question I get more than almost any other. Maui or Oahu? Which one should we do? And the answer I always give is: it depends on your family. Not in a wishy-washy way. In a very specific way. Because these two islands are genuinely different trips, and the right one for you has everything to do with what you're actually looking for. So let me walk you through how I think about it. You should probably do Oahu if: It's your first time in Hawaii. Oahu is the easiest...
Aloha Reader, I got an email a couple weeks ago from a mom who'd been planning her July Maui trip for months. Flights booked. Hotel sorted. She just hadn't gotten around to the luau yet. She wanted to know which one I'd recommend. I pulled up availability. Sold out. All of them. For her entire week. That's not unusual for summer Hawaii anymore. The window between "I should book that" and "it's gone" has gotten a lot shorter. If you have a trip on the calendar between June and August, some...
