If you are serious I will send you my mobile number.

I have two extra sets of golf clubs, so you don't need to lug those over.

I am a certified diver too if you are and I can suggest some pretty decent shore diving and show you some cool entry points.

You can always do a day trip to the volcano on the big island (Hilo side) using Robert's overnighters or Panda for an air+car rate. If you are on Oahu there are plenty of better more desolate beach parks on other parts of the island, other then Waikiki where you will be staying. I wouldn't stay in Hilo though, (boring) to see the Volcano more than overnight, which is cool since you can see the lava flowing at night into the ocean.



MY favorite beach park on Oahu includes if you a like, a snorkel/swim to goat island. http://www.to-hawaii.com/oahu/attractions/goatisland.php

in reality he should save the "big trip" until the kids are older, but he doesn't seem to think so... obviously Disneyland is a bad choice, but checking out our national forests isn't a bad idea.

That was my recomendation.

Wait until the 3 year old is closer to 7. At 11 your oldest will be able to enjoy most things at a theme park and your youngest can ride.

My advice. Save your money. Rent a boat or find a friend with a boat. Take them fishing and intertubing one weekend.

The 3 year old isn't going to remember your epic trip and your 5 year old is going to be angry the whole time.


Edit: If you just want a fun vacation for yourself, a lot of the recommendations in this thread sound great. *shrug*

This may be sound advice, but if I can get a good deal to Hawaii, we're going! Lol

Hang out at Lanikai beach on Oahu till a rich single woman picks you up.

3 year old might not remember much but the 7.5 will remember the volcano anyway.

I took my daughter to disney when she was 6, and we were able to go on all the rides she wanted to go on, but disney is geared more toward the younger kids. She was also tall for her age, from a list I just viewed you have to be 46" for Indiana Jones. We went on that ride so she musta been that tall or pretty close to it.

I concur that renting a cabin on a lake or just going to a lake and renting a boat would be about as much fun as those three ages is going to have.


If you insist on going to Hawaii, you might want to just get someone to watch the little one. They aren't going to enjoy nor remember it, and you could save a lot of money on airfare and food if you don't take em with.

By the time I can go by youngest will be 4. She would like the volcanos too. She's pretty smart.

Wouldn't Florida or Jamaica beaches be cheaper than Hawaiian ones?
