Bruce discusses the importance of planning and decision making when traveling with a family or a group, and the need to establish a realistic “all-in” budget, the maximum amount you are willing to spend. He talks about being able to give people a cushion, or room to spare within your budget when making Hawaii Vacation Decisions.
One of the important decisions Bruce talks about is knowing what you want to do on your Hawaii vacation. “Let’s face it,” he says. “You can’t do everything.” A good professional will help you narrow down your choices and have a plan that won’t “stress you out”. Bruce also says “Try to keep it as simple as possible.”
With his typical good-natured candor, Bruce talks about the fact no one property or location is going to have everything you want for your vacation. He notes the many different kinds of properties and destinations available in Hawaii. “If you try to keep it simple, you’re going to be fine,” he says, noting that 4- and 5-star properties are all quite similar across the Aloha State. He shares his take on hotel star ratings and reviews and how they are different.
Bruce reminds listeners about the Hawaii Covid Test calculator and a new series of video podcasts with co-host Lanai Tabura in connection with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and Hawaii.com. Aloha Bruce throws in a plug for Hawaii Aloha Travel’s private Secret Hawaii Tours on Oahu and the Aloha Plate Food Tour with Lanai.
