Paradise in Hawaii

After writing numerous posts on Hawaii, a friend asked me what would I really do if I get to be in Hawaii for real? If I can, I would like to spend a month in Hawaii because I believe that it is no point going on short holidays. One month is the minimum that we can really get to know the locals, the people that make up Hawaii, their customs, culture and tradition.

You know, going on holidays is more than just sightseeing and snapping photos of ME in front of beautiful monuments and landmarks. It is also about capturing the essence of the place and what makes the place more beautiful: the people.

I have a Hawaiian friend, Gypsy, and I would really love to visit with her family in Honolulu. That would really complete my hawaiian vacation.

I was recommended Aloha Condos for their vast array of stunning Hawaiian resorts and at the moment, am thoroughly captivated by the beauty of The Maui Kai Resort. There are so many here, I may just change my mind later though!

The website is such a breeze to surf though that I can just spend the whole day checking it out. And the captivating photos! You just will fall in love with the beauty that is Hawaii! I already am sold!

What A Coincidence!

It must be pure coincidence that right after writing and publishing my post below, I received a phone call from my sister that she has booked a wonderful holiday to Hawaii with a couple of her colleagues. They checked for Hawaiian vacation information online and found the information they wanted from the blog of Hawaiian Beach Rentals.

While browsing the site, they noticed the wide selection of Oahu vacation rentals open for booking and where they instantly decided that they will be going to Hawaii together so they placed a booking, but not before one of them objected to a vacation rental and actually wanted one of those Maui condos. However, the majority vote won and so they finally settled on a Oahu vacation rental.

I think it’s a load of fun to be able to go on a group vacation with colleagues. It’s simply not the same as going with family! Perhaps going with friends and colleagues, one could actually let her hair down and not be judged.

Seeking Further Hawaii Travel Information

A week ago, I wrote a couple of posts about vacationing in Hawaii and they received good feedback from readers. Everyone agreed that Hawaii is one of the best vacation destinations in the world thanks to the great weather and stunning clear white beaches.

So just now, I had some free time on my hands and decided to find out further Hawaii Travel Information and came upon the travel blog Hawaiian Beach Rentals. I have to say that this blog is a great resource site on Hawaii with great tips for the vacationer.

I noticed also that Hawaiian Beach Rentals has a stunning collection of Maui vacation homes and other vacation rentals in its database that suit any budget or traveling style. I have heard that vacation rentals is the way to holiday now and I believe it is true judging from the many beautiful vacation rentals that are being offered by Hawaiian Beach Rentals.

If you are planning a vacation, you may want to try tropical Hawaii and its hospitality. Check out Hawaiian Beach Rentals for the kind of vacation rentals that are awaiting you!

rodeoHOUSTON – Do I Go?

My sister has moved to the United States for almost six years now and she has experienced many things that she would not have the chance to if she had stayed put in Malaysia.

One of the events that she has been to was the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo last year where she caught Hannah Montana and The Cheetah Girls in concert, which was also the concert that broke all rodeo ticket sales records and attended by the most people. My sister was surprised with the turn out because she has never seen that many people before. What she liked was that the stage rotates fully so everyone could get a front view of the stage wherever he or she is sitting.

My sister was utterly caught by surprise at the mega turn out because according to her, fans of Hannah Montana and The Cheetah Girls are teenagers but come in droves they did. My sister thought she would just go watch the concert for experience sake and it would have been better for her if there were less people, so, an experience she did get!

My sister has invited me to the upcoming rodeoHOUSTON in March next year. She lives in Tennessee and proposes that we take a road trip down to Texas. She is still waiting for my confirmation before getting hold of a couple of Houston Rodeo concert tickets. She told me to hurry as she has to book them early. These tickets go like hot cakes and once sold out, it will be very difficult to get hold of any and we may have to wait for 2009. That is a long way off. Too long.

Personally, I would love to watch Bon Jovi perform at the rodeoHOUSTON but they already have, in the past. I wonder if they are lined up for next year. That would really give me the push to go!

Where To Go?

The other day when I was chatting with my friend and talking about our vacations, he asked me where I want to go actually, if money was of no concern. That is a tough question to answer! I have been to many places locally, but I have yet to see the other places the world has to offer and naturally, I want to visit a lot of places but to pick only one? When I was younger, I used to say that Monaco is my dream destination, but until today, I am not even sure if I could afford a trip there, though I am working so hard towards my dream holiday!

I could, of course, take one of the villa rentals in France and take a day trip over to Monte Carlo. That would be cheaper, of course. But… if I could go on such a dream vacation and not bust my budget, then I am game!

My friend asked me why I want to go to Monte Carlo when there are so many more places to go to like Hawaii, which he returned from and showed me all the beautiful photos that he took. Well, I don’t know, perhaps the fixation came from a soap opera that I watched when I was young.

We checked out Luxury Retreats for private villa rentals just to inspire ourselves to work harder to achieve that dream holiday. Check out the website of Luxury Retreats where I am sure you will be as impressed as I am with the beautiful villas that are available for rent across the globe. I love it that the images are auto-played on the homepage teasing me with their beauty. This is a good way to let the photos help you decide on your next travel destination if you do not have any specific place to go. Or you could just let the photos of villas determine your travel plans!

But if you already have in mind where your next destination will be, you can check out the list of world destinations on the sidebar or click on the world map.

More Hawaii Travel Info

Hhummphh!! My friends think that I am so free. Soon after I emailed them the information on Hawaii wit the link to Hawaiian Beach Rentals and the blog, they are asking for MORE Hawaii Travel Info! I mean, they should just read the blog and then GO on the honeymoon and ENJOY themselves, right?

They said that they require information on Hawaii rental house. Well, all I would tell them is that getting a rental house in Hawaii is the IN thing now because they would then be able to enjoy the PRIVACY of honeymooners HEHEHE 😀 I know I would want that privacy if I were on a honeymoon. Who needs nosy tourists from around the world asking 101 questions, right?

I also told my friends to just click on the CONTACT button found on the website of Hawaiian Beach Rentals should they require further information. I could only give them what I found online and I believe the staff at Hawaiian Beach Rentals would be able to assist them thoroughly in making their vacation a memorable honeymoon! And that’s the way it should be, right?

Pictures of Hawaii

A couple of my friends are planning to go to Hawaii for a honeymoon. We have all heard of how beautiful the islands are and I KNOW that if I were to go on a honeymoon, I would choose Hawaii as well, so my prospective hubby better have enough funds to indulge me!

So the groom isn’t that web savvy and he asked me for help in looking for good Hawaiian vacation deals. I found a Hawaiian Local Travel Blog interesting and informative and would be able to enlighten the groom on what to expect during his Hawaiian trip.

My friends said that they would like to visit Maui and then visit some other islands in their subsequent trips. Did I hear a second trip to Hawaii already? WOW. So I looked for Maui vacation homes and found them on Hawaiian Beach Rentals. There are so many and will sure to suit their budget.

I can’t wait for them to RETURN to let me know all about their trip! AND I WANT PICTURES! They better deliver!
