Amy and I love to go to the beach. We took a Western Caribbean cruise earlier this summer and loved it. We’d go back to Grand Cayman in a minute if we could right now. The one we haven’t done yet is a hawaiian vacation. I think we might wait to do this until the girls are a little bigger and we can take the whole family to experience the tropical wonders of the islands (I was 12 when I went).

From looking at it, getting a condo with room for four, a fridge and a kitchenette would be a good way to do it. Such as this one on Kauai. Gorgeous views, nice rooms and its pretty decently priced (though its a shame Airtran doesn’t fly to Hawaii). It couldn’t be easier to find a good condo either than it is on AlohaCondos. Click the destination and you’re presented with the different options. From hotel rooms to condos themselves.

When my parents took us to Hawaii, we stayed in hotels on Kauai and Oahu and a condo on Maui and the condo on Maui was great. It was on the beach, we could have breakfast and hit the water, come back for lunch and go right back out. Very, very convenient and the best way to stay in paradise!
