Honeymoon Vacations

My fiance and I are looking to go on a hawaiian vacation for our honeymoon in august?

I am looking for advice on the cheapest, nicest hawaiian vacation that money can buy. We are on a budget, and I also would love to go on a cruise to hawaii, but ten days may be a little too long for us. Any advice or reccommendations would be greatly appreciated.

If you want a romantic honeymoon, skip the cruise. There are WAY too many other people around and you can’t get away from them! LOL. Besides, you won’t get to see much of Hawaii. The stops are very short and you won’t have much time to see the islands. You’ll have enough time to take a shuttle to Wal*Mart and that’s about it.

I don’t know where you’re coming from, but check out www.igougo.com for airfare. You can also add a hotel on that site. If you want to book hotel and airfare separately, I recommend www.ohanahotels.com. The Ohana properties are budget-friendly but clean and usually pretty close to beaches (walking distance). Oahu is the most populous island in Hawaii and has the capital city, Honolulu. There is a lot to do on Oahu — shopping, dining, activities, tours, hiking, snorkeling, etc. The outer islands (Maui, Kauai, Lanai, Molokai, Big Island) are quieter and have less to do. There are usually plenty of activities but fewer shopping and dining destinations, as well as less nightlife. So it really depends on what you’re looking for.

If you want to email me your questions and some specifics about what you want, I would be happy to help. I have lived on the Big Island (1 year) and Kauai (almost 5 years) and I visit Oahu and Maui often, so I know a little bit about the islands.
