Few travel destinations evoke the idea of a holiday better than Hawaii. There are cheaper alternatives, such as Caribbean all-inclusive resorts, which may offer better value if you are budget conscious, but  the Hawaiian Islands has its own special charm. My Hawaiian trip was limited to Oahu, and a day trip to Maui, so my experience is more of a taste of the islands than a feast. Still, you can see a lot in eight days.

Favourite Moments

• Chilling on Waikiki Beach while watching the sun go down (see above)
• Gazing out over Pearl Harbour from the quarter deck of the USS Missouri, a few feet from where the Japanese surrendered to the Allies in 1945.
• Enjoying a warm breeze, while sipping Pineapple juice and eating Coconut Pancakes from the Hula Grill – debating whether I should ever go home.
• Sipping an expensive Mai Thai while watching Miss Hawaii hula at the House Without A Key
• Watching the Sunset from Lulu’s Waikiki listening to Hawaiian music
