Why I wish Hawaii was closer to the East Coast

I truly think that Hawaii is the perfect vacation destination. Where else in the world can you get sun and surf, great restaurants, world class hotels, gorgeous scenery, great water sports, great soft adventure and a a diversity of activities in each island? In addition, everyone speaks English, they drive on the correct side of the road (at least the Americans think so), and they accept the US dollar? I just wish Hawaii wasn't a 10- 15 hour flight from the East Coast of the US.

It would make the Hawaiian islands so much easier to get to if we could just move it closer to California. Well, enough for dreaming about moving Hawaii closer---- we on the East Coast have to realize that Hawaii is worth the long flight.

It is the perfect honeymoon or romantic destination, soft adventure destination, family destination and, in general, the destination everyone should visit at least once. With the 4 main islands, there is something for everyone to do. Even if you don't want to visit all 4 during one vacation, there are so many things to do in each of the islands, you can stay for multiple days in one or more of the islands and still have plenty more to do.

In general, where you have a week or 3 weeks to spend on vacation, I think Hawaii will fit the bill.

I was just in Ohau and Maui a couple of months ago and we visited over a dozen hotels while we were there. It makes it so much easier for me to recommend a hotel or resort to clients after seeing them.

Email me if you are interested in booking a Hawaii vacation. As a Hawaii Destination Specialist who has just been there, I have the inside scoop on the properties and have met the sales managers who might be able to help with special requests and upgrades.
