Hawaii Vacation Deals & News Roundup For June 26, 2009

Let’s take a peek at another Aloha Friday edition of Hawaii vacation news.

* Guess which U.S. city is the most romantic according to TripAdvisor members? I’ll give you a clue. It starts with “Hono” and ends in “lulu.”  Wow! You’re right, it is Honolulu. How’d you guess so quickly? 🙂  I agree that Honolulu is very romantic, in fact, Hawaii is a very romantic destination

in general. (Note that the photo above is of the Waikiki area of Honolulu at night.)

* Check out FareCompare’s new  “Cheap Deals to Hawaii” page, where you can see the best available round-trip airfare deals to Hawaii, for any month you like – from any airport. Rick Seaney, FareCompare’s CEO, says, “We gathered all the great deals to this favorite destination-which includes all the best-loved islands – by popular demand!” Spend a few minutes playing with this fare search tool and I’m sure you’ll want to bookmark it and/or sign up for their free real-time email alerts. I like how you can customize the results from your city so you’re not sifting through a sea of other originating destinations. Another feature I like is that you can check fares to all Hawaii’s major airports at a glance on the same page.

* Did you hear about the luau held on the White House

lawn last night? Did your invitation get lost in the mail, too? Well, just in case you’d like to recreate the luau at home, you can find the recipes  from Hawaii’s award-winning Alan Wong here. The menu sounds very onolicious.
