A few (probably at least six) of my friends and I would like to go to the
state of Hawaii for a week sometime next March. None of us has ever been
there before, but from what we've heard so far we've pretty much decided to
stay on Maui, with possible day trips to other islands.
We need a lot of advice. In particular, I'd really appreciate answers to
the following questions:
Is it better to go on a package deal that includes airfare and
accomodations rather than arranging them ourselves separately? If so,
which package do you recommend? How big a group would we need to be
to qualify for group rates? How soon do we need to make our
reservations?
What are the advantages/disadvantages to staying in a condo rather
than a hotel? Which hotels/condos would you recommend for a group of
people who are looking for reasonably nice (preferably with a view of
the ocean) but not-too-expensive rooms?
Which beaches are nicest to vegetate on? What is there to do/see in
Hawaii that can't be done/seen on the mainland? Where should we eat?
What sort of nightlife is there on Maui? We may be willing to spend
some of the money we've saved on accomodations here...
What other islands would you recommend for day trips? How far in
advance do we need to schedule that sort of thing?
Please mail responses to me; I'll send a summary to anyone who asks for one.
