Two Hawaii hotel deals just came across my desk that I think are worthy of mention. 1. Prince Resorts summer sale. I really like both of these hotels that we've written about previously and recommend them highly. This is an unheard of price at these properties for peak...
1. Hourly "green" car rentals being tested on Kauai GreenCar Hawaii plans a fleet of "eco-friendly" SUV's that rent by the hour instead of the day. A pilot project is being launched shortly at the Grand Hyatt Kauai with six Ford Escape hybrids. An automated lobby kiosk...
San Diego has regularly been L.A.'s expensive neighbor when it comes to Hawaii airfares. Change is in the air however and San Diegans won't need to travel to L.A. to find good deals. In fact those from around Southern California should now look south in order to find some of...
A great deal for a Spring vacation from San Francisco just released from Pleasant Holidays. The price is the same or less than the airfare alone. Take advantage of Pleasant's wholesale purchase of seats on UAL, that still earn you United Miles. While the Sheraton is an...

Exit: Delta announced last week that they've canned their Portland to Honolulu 757 service, effective following the summer peak. It just hasn't been a lucrative route for them. Hawaiian Airlines also flies the Portland to Honolulu route. Entry: Starting...
If you act quickly, it's still not too late to get reasonably priced flights from the Bay Area to Maui this summer. This is as a result of Hawaiian Air having to compete with Alaska Air in the market. Otherwise, you would expect to find peak summer fares at double the price, if...
How do you feel knowing that your travel agent, in addition to their commission, is receiving one free night for themselves for every stay they book at your Hawaii luxury hotel? This particular promotion got me wondering just how objective a travel agent's advice can be,...
