Here’s the plan for Hawaii. We tried to pack as much fun/adventure as we could in a 2 week trip, hoping to leave with as few things not done as possible. We found a great deal on flights into Maui, so we start and end there. We hop from Maui to Oahu to the Big Island, then back to Maui. I looked for a way to try to fit Kauai in, but it was looking like it was going to be too challenging logistically to add another hop.
