Hawaii Hotel Deals
I am planning a trip to Hawaii and I am in the market for some deals on flights as well as on deals on Hawaii hotels. I’ve checked the usual sources of travel, like the major travel website as well as the airline websites, and the rates are OK; but I’m thinking there may be more savings to be had by looking at some other alternatives on the Internet. After some considerable effort, I found this nice website offering great Hawaii hotel deals, which coincidentally had a title of the same name, “Hawaii Hotel Deals” (www.hawaiihoteldeals.com). In addition to having great Hawaii hotel deals, they also had some great rates on air, rental cars and activities, in addition to all inclusive packages.
So I am planning to use this website for hotel deals in Hawaii as well as probably for my other package needs for air and rental car. So after this, I am all set.
So now, I will be focusing on what I will be doing in Hawaii. Besides hanging out at the beach, I think I’d like to send some time on the North Shore, checking out the surf spots at the Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay. I’m hoping, by the time I get there, that the surf will be up. While I am in the area, I think I’ll stop by Haleiwa to have lunch and some shaved ice at Matsumoto’s Store. I think I’ll do the short hike up Diamond Head crater to see the sunrise too.

Travel Accessories
One thing I enjoy is talking about travel. Most specifically these days, being things I really enjoy about travel technology. So although I can write about my love of rock art all around the world, that really is starting to be second to my exploring ways to help people figure out what they love about traveling and making travel easier on you when you get out there.
One of the big discoveries for me recently is the Word Lens travel app for the iPhone. This bit of techology is a true marvel of modern technology. You basically just turn on the app and point your camera at anything printed out in Spanish and your iPhone screen shows the instant translation to English right there for you. It is truly amazing. The producers promise to expand out into other languages soon and personally I can’t wait. Once they get the app done up for things like Russian or Chinese, which are the languages that are truly difficult to read for Westerners, this whole app is going to take off like a rocket.
And while I love talking about travel technology, let me also make a quick push for a form of travel near and dear to my heart, namely overland travel. It is the best form of travel for the environment, in that you avoid taking airplanes as much as posssible and avoiding the massive pollution they spew into the atmosphere. Plus, it is the best way to meet people while traveling, so give it a shot.

Boracay: The Best Beach in Asia
I have been to many beaches in Asia. Most of them are top tourist destinations, like those on Phuket, Kota Kinabalu, and the Philippines.
I can say that my criteria for a good beach destination is no different that other peoples’: nice sand, calm and clean water, good hotels, good food, and plenty shopping places for take home gifts.
Although I credit Phuket for its amazing and abundant food, I cast my best beach destination vote on Boracay Island in the Philippines. Though small, spanning only 700 kilometer at its longest, Boracay beholds the finest white sand all over asia. Read more about Boracay Island here.
This island is not only popular for its white sand beaches, awesome water, and tropical sun, but also for Boracay hotels that treat tourists like kings on their vacation. This is true to mid-priced hotels (charging 150 USD and above) and those that have been rated excellent on their service. One of such hotels is Boracay Regency Resort.
Boracay Regency is located at the beach front of Station 2. It is one of the most popular and biggest mid-priced hotels on the island. I have stayed there about 3 or 4 times myself and my expectations have always been met. Read reviews on Boracay Regency Resort here.
Aside from the nice hotels, I also like the abundance and variety of food places in Boracay. Although available, filipino food is not the only food sold. They have cuisines that cater to the taste buds of every foreign tourists, such as: Thai, Portuguese, Indian, Italian, American, Chinese, and many more!

History
Originally, the idea is to realize a covered amusement parks from the Anglo-Saxon countries. Thus, already in the 80s as a further development of golf courses known as Adventure Family Entertainment Center (FEC’s) operated in shopping centers or close to the center. In Germany, first indoor playgrounds opened in the 90s in NRW. The development has then the vacancy rate for indoor tennis in the late 90 in Germany accelerated and established with appropriate sizes of the indoor tennis courts in Germany at about 2.000m ². [2] experience with increased demands on conditions of the premises (Versammlungsstättenverordung) and thus the Invesitionshöhe both the property as well as the actual play area of ââimproving their quality, which is not completed to date. The boom is thus initiated into the game adaptation frameworks (jungle gyms) in cinemas, gyms, shopping centers, etc., its continuation.
In Germany there are over 300 jumper rentals facilities in the former tennis and warehouses with bases 700-12000 square meters. The ongoing development in this segment causes a regional saturation (Ruhr), which will result in an improvement of the offer. Against the background of Anglo-Saxon developments also an increasing emphasis on service is to be expected.

Hawaii Interisland Flights
I live in Phoenix and will be travelling to Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii soon on business. So my boss and I will be in the market for good rates Hawaii flights as on Hawaii interisland flights. I know both US Airways and Hawaiian Air fly direct to Honolulu; but not to Kona. We also have a quick meeting in Honolulu so flying to Honolulu before taking Hawaii inter island flights to Kona is an idea flight route for us. Plus, on the way back to Phoenix, I was thinking of taking a few days off and staying a few extra days on Oahu.
Our department head secretary was checking out the rates for Hawaii flights, Hawaii interisland flights, hotel and rental car from the travel agency that we typically use here; but because our trip is only several weeks away, the rates are all pretty high. I suggested that we check out other options on the internet, like the airlines sites and the major travel websites; but the rates were still high. I suggested she look at other options on the internet and she said she found some really good package rates on this website called Hawaii Inter Island Flights (www.interislandflights.com).
She saw that this website was operated by Hawaii largest travel agency, called Panda Travel. Panda Travel is apparently the largest travel agency in Hawaii and is also a travel consolidator. It was also recently recognized by the daily newspaper in Hawaii as “Hawaii’s Best Travel Agency.” So we all felt we could book in confidence.
