Went to the travel expo yesterday and the travel agent was able to get the flights $200 cheaper than I could find. so $1620 each return on Hawaiian and also Internal mainland flights with Hawaiian. I'm just going over the finer details but it's looking like 18th October Syd > Hawaii 25th October Hawaii > Vegas 18th November La> Hawaii 22nd November Hawaii> Sydney The accommodation that they put together is wrong and way overpriced. So will be picking your brain Kee for where is good to stay in Hawaii. No idea what to do or see in Hawaii, and will be sans kids as they don't want to miss school. I have the weirdest kids in the world. We have a wedding to go to in Vegas so will have a week there to explore, then thinking of getting some cruises to the bahamas, mexico or something. Another Kee question... What is the best port to cruise in and out of? I'm thinking Miami so then may need to factor in another internal flight or something....

Have posted the list straight away (hope you don't mind Jo) and updated your details Holidaysfor8 - thanks for the cyber hugs too! You're on the list for the first time Jilly Let me know if there's any other changes or additions and I'll update asap. Becca: Cruises to the Bahamas etc tend to leave mainly from Florida - the Port of Miami and also Ft Lauderdale as well. You can see what cruises sail out of these ports in the months you are there on VacationsToGo to get an idea of what your choices are. As for places to stay in Hawaii (Waikiki only?), what are the criteria you want your accommodation to meet? Budget? There's heaps of options but it depends what you are looking for exactly.
