Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 To get to the islands, you have to fly here. While this may sound painfully obvious, many people contemplate cruises to the islands. There is not a single speck of land between the west coast and Hawai'i. #2 If you're planning to spend the day at a beach, don't feel compelled to bring everything with you from the mainland. Hawai'i Beach Time rents everything beachy you can think of. #3 Rental car prices in Hawai'i are cheaper than almost anywhere else in the country. Make sure you don't get an electronic key wet with salt water, as it will kill the key and cost you a lot to replace. #4 There are taxi companies around the island that charge set rates. They charge around $35 from the airport to Waikiki. If you call them in advance, you can usually get a cheaper rate.
