Seize the Summer!

AAA says now is the time to take advantage of great summer travel deals. According to Doug Bower, Vice President of AAA Travel and Financial Services, "Given all of the negative economic news of the past six months and our society's newfound frugality, some otherwise well-off consumers are feeling a little awkward or uneasy about leisure travel this year. For this reason, AAA wants to remind consumers there may never be a better time to travel than this summer. By carefully assessing our individual economic circumstances and personal travel situation many of us may realize traveling this year should not be seen as a guilty pleasure, but as something we should get out and enjoy."

Relax at the Waimea Plantation Cottages on Kauai

The Waimea Plantation Cottages finally receive some of the attention they deserve! In this article, Travel Weekly highlights the history and "sweet serenity" of the Cottages.

On a recent trip to Kauai, I found the Plantation Cottages to be the most peaceful, private, relaxing place to stay anywhere on the island. Listening to the waves crash at night, hearing the birds chirp all day, and enjoying our own private beach bonfire under the stars made for a heavenly stay. The friendly staff made us feel like Ohana (family) and we are already homesick to return!
