Honolulu Vacations – Whatever is the Time of the Year

When it comes to the near perfect combination of the sea, the sand, and the sun, the capital of Hawaii, Honolulu, is head and shoulders on top of everyplace else. Consider yourself lucky if you have one of those Honolulu vacations.

In Honolulu, one of the most satisfying vacations anyone can have is a visit to that place that’s utterly out of this world. If you love all three (the sea, the sun, the sand) Honolulu is a paradise for tourists.

Every other kind will get his fill in this city – sail enthusiasts, surfers, snorkelers and divers, fans of history, and all kinds of shoppers (curio items seekers, high-end fashion moles, backpackers) and a bunch more.

Exploring areas

Your vacation is not worth it if you haven’t tried exploring busy downtown areas. (The most famous is the noted Waikiki Beach Walk where you get to meet all kinds of people from around the world, exploring the very interesting sidelights of the city and its Polynesian culture.

It can take you days to explore most parts of the city. The fun and the excitement strike the tourist seeing that everything are side by side, notwithstanding the culture and the tradition as well as being cosmopolitan about it. (There are shops that rivals the latest offering fashion capital Rome and Paris< even those from Madrid.)

Attractions

Like any other city, Honolulu is a multi-mixture of culture, traditions, and skin colors. Another very important thing is that it is an American city, as an apple pie. Boomers and most modern Americans never forget to visit their famous Pearl Harbor (and the USS Arizona Memorial) where bitter history happened.

A bit further is the famous crater Diamond Head (a setting for a movie), the Bishop Museum and the revered Iolani Palace. Of course, they will always have the Waikiki Beach. Soak in the images you see at the Nu’uanuPali Lookout. (Better still, get some souvenir pictures of the place.) 

They also have their Chinatown should you want to dabble in authentic Chinese cuisine. (The American and Polynesian dishes are all over the place, and so are the other exotic foods from around the world.)

There are also some festivals and sporting events to look forward to. (The Honolulu Marathon happens every December. In January, the big Sony Open golf tournament is held.

The Honolulu Festival in March celebrates the cultural understanding with parades, fireworks displays, dances and much more. The Joy of Sake is celebrated in July, if you want some tipsy good time.

Planning

It might be a bit difficult in customizing your vacation in Honolulu for the simple reason that you have so much on your agenda. Honolulu and Waikiki are the first things that come to mind when planning to land on Oahu as your main destination.

There is not much to lose in any case. You can watch right away from your hotel the graceful surfers doing their graceful water acrobats on top of their surfboards. You cannot miss out on Honolulu vacations whatever is the time of year.

Why Destination Weddings Are Memorable

Resorts and tourism organizations have seen the big income behind the destination weddings trend and make it their business to keep destination weddings stress-free and a memorable one.

Planning For a Tropical Vacation

Everyone needs a vacation once in a while. We may face the burden of meeting tight deadlines, making crucial decisions, or managing the complexities of household demands. Our stress may also include the stress of being under- or unemployed. All adults have lives that are filled with some form of stress, even if we don't truly acknowledge this fact. Chronic stress takes its toll in part on our body's ability to resist infection, maintain vital functions, and even ability to avoid injury. Do your online research and make sure you know what's available in your vacation destination. It's frustrating to find out too late that if you had just done a bit of googling you'd have found the ideal beach, mountain, museum, park, etc. etc. Planning ahead will also minimize family stress while on that vacation especially if you've pre-agreed on an itinerary. This will also make it possible for you to determine ahead of time whether some or all of you want to go bungee jumpin...
