Get Out of the Cold

I just returned from the island of Oahu from a week long vacation in Hawaii.  It was my first time to the island, and I had a nice time.  The other islands are better IMO than Oahu, but if you’re looking to escape the cold, then this is a smoking deal.

Honolulu is a busy place.  For those seeking refuge from the crowds you might want to drive 30-45 minutes either East or North.  Personally I like the North Shore.  Nice beaches, surfing, and some good snorkeling too.

Getting the board waxed up for “surfing”…or in my case, lots of paddling

Fare Alert

My flight cost was only $374 roundtrip, and that was the lowest fare that I can remember between Minneapolis and Honolulu.  Today’s price is $318!  There are plenty of hotels in the area to use points at too.  The deal is posted on Thrifty Traveler and contains more details about the fair.  The link to the flight deal can be found here.  Mahalo –
