Hawaii!
Hello ladies! Dh and I (and ds
 )are thinking about taking a little trip to Hawaii if we end up having enough money left from our new homeowner's tax credit after we pay some debts. But I have NO idea where to look for good places or anything because we have never been anywhere so I have never planned a vacation. We never had a wedding or a honeymoon so this is like our consolation lol. Any advice? We are planning on going in April probably. We won't have a TON of money lol, but enough to stay like 4 days or so. If you have been, where did you stay and what did you do?

I have been to the big island...even though the resort was amazing, not whole lot there to do. My SIL is from Kauai, and says it's so much better with lots to do and see!

So jealous! But you will have so much fun! I hear Hawaii is just beautiful.
We usually use my Grandma's timeshares when we go on vacation. The only time we weren't able to use the timeshares I booked a vacation package to Disneyland from getawaytoday.com because it seemed cheaper. When we went to Puerta Vallarta we were stopped by all of these timeshare people and they try and get you to commit to going to the different resorts to utimately buy a timeshare. But, we did agree to go to one and got 4 free passes to a pirate dinner cruise which was amazing and saved us a bunch of money! Good thing my husband can say no though or else we might be timeshare owners now, lol. Any way, good luck planning your trip and I hope you have a great time!

Ooooh, congrats! I want to go too! If you are going in April, make sure that you stay on the South shores of the islands. You will be warmer and find the beaches as you expect them to be--sunny and calm and beautiful!
My family is from Maui and Oahu. I absolutely agree with Lizzy--Kauai is the best island for vacation, IMO. Very relaxing. Stay in Poipu. But, if you really want a lot of night life activities, then go to Maui. We try go to Hawaii every other year.

On the Big Island we went to Hilo & Kona. We did lots of different things. We also spent a couple days on Oahu before the cruise left. We went to the Dole Plantation, Polynesian Cultural Center for a Luau http://www.polynesia.com/, saw a surfing contest at North Shore. Did Wikiki, probably more we could have done, but DD was only 18 months at the time.

Kauai!! I loved it. My friend has a vacation home there, so I met her there and we had a great time. We went on a botanical tour (amazing...), kayaking, snorkeling, etc.. We drove all over the island! The south side will be much warmer. I went in May and it was raining in the north, and warm and calm in Poipu. I almost went back with my friend this fall, but my dh was still working in Alaska, so I wouldn't have anyone here to take care of the kids. Next time!
