I take it you aren’t a fan of Hawaii?
I’ve never been but know plenty that have and absolutely love it with several going back quite often. I wouldn’t mind checking it out one day to see what all the fuss is about
yes have been there too many times, not just to main island, especially when Canada 3000 used to fly direct Brisbane/Vancouver via Honolulu.
It seems to be very expensive.
The think TV programmes like Hawaii 5 o, are getting people to want to go to Hawaii.
There also seem to be a lot of conferences in Hawaii (Americans can go there without a passport), so Australians go to these conferences there(or at least they pretend to go), so they can get a tax write off.
Heard a trick that some doctors use to go to a conference ... book the most expensive business class ticket, get an invoice, pay for it, but instruct travel agent to not ticket it & instead change the booking to the whole family into economy & then claim the business class fare. Tax department will never catch them.
To me, parts of main island are like the gold coast gone wrong.
