- Marriott has sweetened their Hawaii deals with a Sand Dollar PLUS package that includes a free extra night, free upgrade, and daily breakfast for two. You can learn more about their offers here.
- I stumbled across this interesting story with video about a visually impaired couple from Maryland who honeymooned in Hawaii. It’s interesting to hear how they enjoyed experiencing Hawaii through touch, smell and imagination. They booked their travel through Damar Travel and Cruise which is a company that specializes in safe escorted travel for the blind.
- If you are thinking of taking the Molokai to Maui ferry, you should be aware of a new fuel surcharge which increases one-way trip from $42.40 to $68.40. Let me tell you from experience, do not take the afternoon and early evening ferry rides unless you like to feel queasy. I have an iron stomach, but the afternoon ferry ride turned me five different shades of green.
