HAWAII: How To Plan Your Trip

In this paperback you will be challenged to fulfill a “fun in the sun” dream.  A dream of pleasure and wholesome entertainment that only a few family members and friends will encourage you to dream.  And, of course, my reference point is to Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii.

There are many vacation spots in the United States, and Hawaii is one of the greatest.  Probably, the Oahu Island...Honolulu...is many ocean miles away from your home, but it is one of the best ocean sites to be pampered, dreamed, and remembered.  One great characteristic needed in looking for a vacation such as this is to dream a possible dream of “fun in the sun.”

One quick way to turn a beautiful vacation dream into a possible reality is to read this book, study the concepts, and do the notes and math work.  In your vocabulary, discharge the word “can’t” and install the word “can.”  Make your plan to be activated in eighteen months--more or less.  This way, you will not cram yourself into a “pressure-pot” that could lead you to shelve the fantasy.

This text list concepts, plans, and definitions that are very important to planning any vacation, not just to Hawaii.  For example, some airline rules or guidelines listed in this book are very important to one’s flight plan and happiness.  One misunderstanding of one concept can sour your vacation quite quickly.  I must hasten to say that airlines representatives are willing to help in any plan you discuss...Hawaii or otherwise.

To begin a plan, read my chapter about getting started and spend a couple of months gathering information from many sources.  Keep a record of all accounts and the persons to whom you talked.  Make sure you check their emotional vacation temperature while listening to their conversation.  To this writer, it is good to ask many questions about the same subject to different people, travel agents, and/or friends who have made your dreamland vacation before.  No doubt, if you are talking about Honolulu and your friends have been there, they will talk freely--and talk freely.

Whether your usual vacation is for one week or two weeks, funds have already been “earmarked” for that time period.  So all you really need to do is to add funds for additional transportation.

For ticket fare, simply carry your noon meal in a brown bag one day a week for eighteen months and you will have saved enough money for your flight with no or very little strain.  Of course, if you are wealthy or among this country’s elite, this paragraph will have no meaning to you.

Back to my plan.  Shop around for your airline reservation.  At times, an Hawaiian air fare from Atlanta, Georgia will cost as little as five hundred dollars.  Or as much as you want to pay, up to a first class fare.  Check the internet.  The airline industry has an ever on-going price list on their web sites...for viewing anytime day or night.  When you find a schedule fitting what you are looking for and your mind is made up, lock in the flight.  Leaving the screen and returning later may indicate the flight cost just increased two hundred dollars.  (That is what happened to me on my last search for internet tickets).

All that has been written will avail nothing if you are not in the “fun in the sun” mode.  Excitement is a factor in any vacation or visit.  If you expect the trip to turn “ho-hum,” it probably will.  If you expect the trip to be fun, you’ll find avenues that compliment “fun in the sun.”  Good luck on your dream.
