Hawaii - Travel Deals

The New Year brings new hope and all those new resolutions that you’ll probably break after about a week. If one of your resolutions is to get into better shape, perhaps you could set your sights high and start training for the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii. Doesn’t a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike and topped off by a 26.2 mile run sound like an ideal way to spend a day?

Personally, I get exhausted just watching those athletes killing themselves on television, but now it is possible to see them up close and personal for not so much money. Aloha Airlines has some tasty spring fares that make the enchanted islands of Hawaii that much more enchanted. You can fly from Oakland to Kailua-Kona, home of the Ironman Triathlon, for less than $400 round-trip. Even for a destination that has frequent airline deals, this is a pretty good one.

Moreover, Aloha Airlines also has discounted flights between the Hawaiian Islands, making it possible for you to cover even more ground than one of those triathletes. Whether it is for sport, relaxation or simply to escape the fact that you failed miserably with your get in shape resolution, Hawaii is one place you should be resolved to visit this year.

All the best to each and everyone of you in 2007.

Say Aloha to Great Fares to Hawaii!

The Best Deals on Hostels in Honolulu

As I sit here staring out the window at the 1,234th straight day of gray clouds, I can’t help but wonder if the sun has disappeared for good. I also can’t help but feel a bit on envy towards those of you who are wearing sunglasses and sitting by the pool while you are reading this blog. Your golden tan skin is the essence of good health. Your carefree attitude the sign of relaxation. There are no bags under your eyes. You are not tired. You will live forever.

While that fantasy is playing on continuous loop in my mind, allow me to present a sunny deal for those who are not so fortunate to live in warm weather climes. From now until December 10, 2006, Priceline is offering steep discounts on flights and hotels vacation packages to warm, delightfully sunny locations. We’re talking mega bucks off of trips to Hawaii, Florida, Central America and the Caribbean. Whether you are in the mood for a short little weekend getaway or a full on vacation, this is a great opportunity to reintroduce yourself to the sun.

With the money you’ll save, you could even invest in a home tanning lamp so that you get enough Vitamin E (or is it Vitamin D?) all year long.

Now that Black Friday – that dreaded shopping day after Thanksgiving – is over, we can all once again come out of are self imposed shopping exile and resume our search for travel bargains. Today’s fabulous find is a deal that will net you 90% off the normal price of a Norwegian Cruise Lines cruise of Hawaii. Now, I know that you are a smart traveler and you would never actually pay full price for a cruise since you know that there is a never ending sale on cruises, but even with your superior knowledge, good looks and charm, I think you’ll agree that 90% off is quite the savings.

The cruise departs from Honolulu and takes you to three other Hawaiian Islands before returning you safely to your starting point. Along the way you’ll have ample opportunity to enjoy all that Hawaii has to offer, while feasting on wonderful food and relaxing by the ship’s pool. A three hour cruise it is not, but a seven-night thing of beauty it is. The deal is good for trips in December, so grab this last minute bargain before the clock stops ticking.

Alright, so maybe joking about an earthquake is a bit in poor taste, but thankfully the big shake in Hawaii on Sunday caused only minor injuries. The good news when it comes to natural disasters, and there really is very little good news involving them, is that they tend to scare people away. Hurricanes, floods, volcanoes, Britney Spears concerts, these are the things of nightmares for most people. All of that is good news for you if you are looking to go to Hawaii and don’t mind feeling the earth move under your feet from time to time.

Prices on resorts on the islands are sure to go down as they desperately seek out tourists to come post-earthquake. Case in point, this 3-night flight and stay to the ResortQuest Kauai Beach at Makaiwa.

Pack your first aid kit, steady your stomach and shake yourself to Hawaii today.

Hawaii is little more than a bunch of islands made from volcanic rock. So how come everyone wants to go there? I don’t think you need me to answer that. The place is beautiful and should be somewhere every single breathing or not breathing human being goes a least once in her lifetime.

Hawaii is a long way from mainland US and sometimes it costs a bit to get there. Not this fall, however. Flights from California to Hawaii are starting at just a crack over $300. That is remarkably cheap and a deal that you should jump on if you can get the vacation time between now and December 15, 2006.

For the best prices on flights to Hawaii and beyond, start your search right here.

When you look up the definition of paradise in the dictionary, chances are you’ll come across a picture of Hawaii. The island state is truly one of the most gorgeous places on this planet and one of the best places to take a holiday. Expedia has a pretty sweet deal on flights from the west coast to Hawaii. You need to sign up by September 19 and travel between October 1 – December 15.

What are you waiting for? Don’t you want your picture to appear next to the word “paradise” in the dictionary too?

The reason? Our grandparents would always make sure that we got a gift too.
