Ahhhh, paradise! Especially for the “snowbirds”, our visitors from colder climates. From November to March the weather in Hawaii is especially nice — a bit cooler than the summer months and somewhat drier as well. While most everyone on the US mainland is hunkering down, building fires to stay warm and sipping hot chocolate, we’re enjoying the beach and all the activities associated with summer. It’s a great time for a getaway!
All one really needs is a plane ticket, a place to stay and a “puka-shell tour guide” to find some really great spots and fun things to do. If you have frequent-flyer miles saved up and a timeshare you’re ahead of the game. There are deals out there if you look at Kayak.com, Expedia, Priceline or any of the other travel sites. Booking ahead is a good idea but there are lots of “last-minute” deals if you search around.
The Big Island, also known as the island of Hawaii, is the largest in the Hawaiian island chain. It’s actually larger than all the other islands put together. While you can get around the other islands in a few hours, the Big Island requires a few days to really see everything. Whether you’re arm-chair traveling or actually planning a trip to Hawaii, here’s a few ideas for some winter fun…Aloha!
