We took our Hawaiian cruise with 3 other couples. I planned and researched the trip and itineraries for TWO years. First you must know I am a die hard foodie. We are all in our fifties and very active.
We splurged with 2 nights pre-cruise at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. This was a delightful time of relaxing and exploring the island for us.
We decided ahead of time that if we only got to Hawaii once, we wanted to see God's Hawaii the first time. If we got back a second time then we would take in the usual tourist highlights. With that mindset we rented a car and headed around the island with our collection of the Revealed Books in hand. The Bonsai Pipeline, Spitting Cave and the Shrimp Trucks were a highlight.
Awesome place to view the Kauai sail by! The room had all you need for Hawaii! It was a great location.
