Marriage is tough. So staying married for 10 years these days was something to celebrate! So my wife and I wanted to go to Hawaii to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The only problem is I am a youth pastor and she is a first grade teacher and we have 2 kids and 2 dogs. So, while we love our jobs, we aren’t rolling in $ to be able to jot down to the Islands whenever we want. So I began looking online with Expedia and Travelocity and Priceline and every other website you can imagine and we keep coming up with prices around $13,000! I don’t have that kind of $ and I’m sure you don’t either or you wouldn’t be reading this book. J So we began to dig deep and surf the web like Duke Kahamoku or Mike Parson surfing on the North Shore.The result was after 5 years of saving and surfing the web, we finally made it to Kauai to celebrate our 15th anniversary in style and on the cheap. The result of that research is this concentrated e-book and we wanted to share that with everyone we could.

            We have read pretty much every guidebook, website, movie and travel channel show that is out there to help us figure out which island was right for us. We were looking for a place to get away from the hectic everyday life to just relax, see the beauty of the islands, and reconnect as a couple but not be rushed to do every adventure that is out there. After readingHawaii for Dummies and the AAA Hawaii Tour Book we were able to narrow down which Island we wanted to spend our two weeks on. Some people “Island hop” and I recommend reading the Dummies book to see which Island fits your personality and desire for your vacation.

 We decided to stay on Kauai the whole time because it seemed to have the best of everything without all the

commercial touristy stuff you find on some of the other islands. While some of the tips we have here are specific to Kauai all the savings can be used for any Island you choose.  We wanted to sit by the pool or cruise to the beach and sit and read. We also wanted to go surfing, hiking, swimming inside waterfalls, exploring, shopping, and eat at the best restaurants the island had to offer. We wanted to live large without having to spend our kid’s entire college fund and the more money you can save the more fun you can have.  We did all that and I will go into more detail later on how to find the Best food for the least price and how to get to all the amazing places and secrets later.

            We made our share of mistakes and found some real amazing deals so I wanted to share those with anyone I could help you save a little $ too. What makes this little eBook unique is the interactive hyperlinks through out. There are Google maps, coupon codes, YouTube videos etc. With all the smart phones, Android phones, iPhones, iPads, tablet PC’s and e-readers like Kindle and so on I put together this interactive to help you have fun and get the most out of your trip.   I promise you that if you follow even one of my tips and secrets you will more than pay for this book 50-100 times over!
