Anyone ever use Expedia.com to book a Hawaiian honeymoon or any other?

I have been sitting at home and decided to start researching different places to take our honeymoon. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii BUT the airfare alone seems ridiculous. I went to expedia.com and was actually quite surprised to find the prices for the hotel and airfare quite low. For example, airfare on Delta and a 6 night stay at Marriott Waikiki is 2519 for the two of us... or Delta and the Sheraton Waikiki is 3272 for two. Are these good prices? Also, would booking through Expedia be a safe way to go... I am a bit nervous booking our honeymoon via the internet.

Would we be better off booking a Sandals vacation where it is all inclusive?

Advice please.

Hawaii is the most amazing place!!
I have been twice and we will probably go again for our honeymoon. I never use a travel agent and always book my own travel.
You should try through the hotel or ariline directly. Good prices that way.
The last time we wnet the best deal was through Costco, so if you are a member, you can save a lot of $$.
The prices you wrote are just about right. I haven't been to Waikki. Try Maui or Kaui, you will love it!!

My mom booked her vacation to Disneyworld through Expedia and everything turned out fine.

the last few years have been fatastic to go to hawaii b/c of the japanese (and now US) recession (Japan is just as close to HI as CA is.)

I went there a few times with www.deltavacations.com and got some great deals.

most of the travel sites go through the same company, so you are pretty safe with them.

also try www.orbitz.com and www.travelocity.com

I too am looking into Hawaii as our honeymoon spot (heard its beautiful!). Unfortunately as of right now Expedia.com does not have the islands I want however I have booked 2 separate vacations through them and they were both terrific. The nice part is you can call and speak to a 'real person'' who will confirm everything for you
