Happy Bithday Hawaii!!! We will be there (1st time visitors) in October, and I can not wait! We were convinced to go by 2 other couples who had already booked a cruise...so we will be Island hopping but the ship will be our accommodations :-(. Not that I dislike cruises, but wish we were going to experience more island life by staying in some B&B's.
If any of you have ideas of things we 'must' do while there, please email offline. I would love to hear of your experineces and of those innkeepers on the Islands that could shed some assistance..(I hate to depend on the ships shore excursions.) We are traveling to Honolula (2 days prior, 1 after) then the ship carries us to Hilo (8hrs), Maui (1 1/2 days), Kona (8hrs), and Kauai (1 1/2 days).
Thanks in advance for any info.....
