We did Hawaii and then Sonoma too!!!
We stayed at the Four Seasons Wailea on the Club Level (absolutely unbelievable!!) and then stayed at a B&B in the town of Sonoma. The food and wine in Sonoma is fabulous....be sure to stop in at the Swiss Hotel for pasta bolognese and a bottle of Valley of the Moon Barbera: a match made in Heaven! Also, picnicking at the beautiful wineries is amazing.... I'm so jealous of all of you heading on your honeymoons---have the BEST time!!!!!!!!!

The only thing we have planned so far is going to Pearl Harbor. We might also go over by Diamondhead and snorkel. We're now staying 3 nights there so if you find anything that sounds good, let me know!

We originally wanted to go to Tahiti but it's too expensive. We're only going for like 7 days in Maui. We're thinking of getting a condo rental and renting a car. I would like to do the submarine tour and luau (of course) and maybe another tour.

I've heard Kauai is nicknamed 'The Baby Making' Island because there is nothing to do there. Has anyone else heard this?

FH and I were thinking of Maui and Oahu only. We eliminated Kauai only because of the above reason. But now I see so many of you going, I'm wondering if what I heard is wrong?

We def want to relax and just enjoy each other, the beach and the sun.....but we also want to have fun.

Everyone I know who's gone to Kauai recommends it because of it's beauty. Compared to Maui and Oahu, there isn't much nightlife though.

We're planning on relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather there. FH is planning on playing some golf, we'll do some sightseeing, etc.

All of my friends who went to Hawaii loved Kauai. Only a few have gone to the Big Island and they had good thing sto say about it. Maui they said was nice but, they liked Kauai better (Maui is a bit more commercialized). Honolulu-Waikiki is a city so they said it was beautiful but, compared to the other islands it was their least favorite.

Hope this helps!

I have also heard that the places to stay in Kauai are the Hyatt or the Princeville. More people I know have stayed at the Hyatt because of it's location (in the Poipu area as opposed to Princeville) and said it was the nicest hotel they have ever stayed at.

If you go to the Big Island, the best hotel to stay at is the Four Seasons. I've heard great things about it.

As for Maui, I've heard great things about a number of different hotels (The Gran Wailea, The Fairmont, Westin, Hyatt, etc).

I agree Kauai is the way to go you will not be disappointed and once you go to the other island you will love Kauai the best! We stayed at Princeville for 16 nights!! But made allot of trips down to the south side byt Poipu Beach loved it down there also!!!

Make sure you rent a Jeep!!!
