More Good Reasons to “Travel Light”

As the airlines scramble to pass on the skyrocketing fuel costs to you, the passenger, we all have to stay alert to just where added charges are turning up.  You’re probably aware that most airlines now are charging if you check “extra” baggage.  They all will allow you to check one bag at no cost, but then the cost of checking goes up pretty dramatically.   

Here are the major carriers to Hawaii and what they are charging as of this week (6/2/08).  Make a note, and plan accordingly.

BAG 2   $  25
BAGS 3, 4 and 5  $100 each
BAG 6 and more  $200 each
 

CONTINENTAL
Bag 3 and more  $100 each
 

DELTA
Bag 2   $  25
Bags 3, 4, and 5  $  80 each

Relaxing Hawaii

Vacations are how we get away from the hassles and pressures and noises of where we live.  If your idea of a vacation is pure relaxation, Hawaii is the place to come.  You can relax just by looking around.  You see magnificent views from every part of every island.  In the mornings and evenings, the sunrises and sunsets are spectacularly different day after day.  Showers in the mountains generate regular rainbows, and even the cloud formations are unique here.  

The whole attitude is relaxing. There’s no commercial gambling, no casinos, no pressure of losing.  And there’s no noise, except maybe the delighted sounds of children at the beach.  Even in downtown Honolulu, there’s almost no horn-blowing.  There’s traffic, but not the kind that makes you crazy.

 Everybody smiles here; everybody’s glad to see everybody else … yet privacy is respected and enjoyed.  Oh, there are hair-raising adventures galore for the adventurous types on these islands and in our waters, and Waikiki’s busy and bustling, but if you just want to relax, call a Hawaii-aloha.com agent.  You’ll learn about some peaceful, beautiful, wonderful hideaways that are just what you’re looking for in a relaxing vacation.
