We're going to.....

HAWAII!
Exactly 7 months from tomorrow, we will be boarding a plane to Kauai for 8 nights of tropical bliss. Because we became Starwood Resort members on our honeymoon, we got a really cheap offer for 5 nights at a nice hotel right on this beach:
Would wouldn't pass up an opportunity to pay $100/night for a room that was normally $250-300/night? We were sneaky about the airfare too. Graham signed up for an Alaska miles credit card and so he was basically able to purchase his ticket and then get mine for only $50. I think this post will accurately illustrate that we are complete suckers for a good deal. But hey, I'm not complaining! I've never been to Hawaii and so can't wait to take this trip with Graham. We'll be staying 5 nights at a larger hotel on the south shore of Kauai and then are hoping to find more of a unique bed and breakfast or boutique hotel on another part of the island for the other three nights. Anyone have ideas or recommendations?

  1. I loved the north shore, but I don't have any lodging recomendations, we were there ages ago. It is beautiful though. Hurray for you guys!

  2. I was actually in Kauai when you wrote this, stayed at the Sheraton in Poipu, was AMAZING, people who live on the island are wonderful, tourists...not so much. Consider joining AAA, got me major discounts on top of my Starwood membership (worked on car too). Check out the Ultimate Guide to Kauai from Wizard Publications (got mine from Amazon), do not know what I would have done without it. Make sure to get to Waimae Canyon, it's breathtaking. Congratulations to you both, have the time of your lives, my trip was life altering, only regret is I may have left my soul there and cannot wait to go back :)
