Watch the sales and if you ever have a chance to go--do. One of the reasons that I love Hawaii so much is that I have all the comforts and security of being in the USA, but there is an ocean separating me from the mainlaind. Psychologically it creates a wider distance and I am able to relax a bit more. I also love the ocean, the sea breeze, the sounds of the waves, and palm trees, warm weather. The Hawaiian people--at least those that are not in the mainstream of hotels and tourists, are the warmest, kindest most generous people I have ever had the privelage to meet.
