Enjoy Pupu – Hawaii Vacation Hors D’oeuvres Explained

You’ll be eating at a wide variety of restaurants while you’re here, so it’s a good idea to get as familiar as you can ahead of time with some of the menu items you’re likely to encounter. Today we won’t attempt now to help you with entrees, since there are zillions of kinds of restaurants and the menus are so diversified there’s no way to summarize. But all good restaurants have something for you to try first.  Appetizers. Hors D’oeuvres.  We call them pupu. Except in the purely ethnic restaurants, you can expect to find the standards: caviar, shrimp cocktail, escargot, calamari, crab cakes, foie gras, oysters, steak tartare …But you’ll see some offerings that may not sound familiar to you.  Most of them are wonderful!  Here’s what to expect:

We also answer a couple of podcast listener questions and also go over packages that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours.

The Many Choices When Considering a Hawaii Vacation

Narrowing down your Hawaii vacation destination is even more difficult than it may seem to be at first.  Most people try to decide which island – or islands – they think would appeal to them most. The problem is that, except for little Molokai and Lanai, each of the islands actually has three or more distinctly different areas within their beaches. Today we talk about how to choose the best islands to suit your needs and offer tips about the different parts of each each island.  As you can tell, there’s a lot to consider beyond a choice of islands.  The best thing to do is pick an agent from our website and begin a relationship. We also go over packages that have been booked in the last 24hours and take this opportunity to congratulate new customers and welcome them to our Ohana.

Deals! Deals! Deals! Hawaii Vacations finally Affordable

 

Today we discuss all of the great deals that  are happening to Hawaii.  We discuss how refreshing it is to be able to see that people can now afford Hawaii who otherwise have overlooked this destination because the price was too expensive. But now, with the economy on the decline,  there are tremendous savings on Hawaii travel right now.  We talk about Hawaii cruise deals and discuss how you can bundle the cruise with a land package making it an affordable way to see a lot of Hawaii a short period of time.  We also go over packages that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours and take the opportunity to welcome new customers to our Ohana (famly).
