Need advice

Hi,

I was wanting some feedback re: an upcoming trip. We were lucky and just got notice that we got a timeshare week in Kauai in Sept.. We decided to make a nice trip of it and add on a few more places.. Thinking of Maui (2 nites) and then the Big Island (3 nites) We will be traveling w/ our 2 1/2 yr old son. We don%26#39;t know a thing and definately are looking forward to doing research.. I was just wanting some advice/feedback.. Best part of Maui to stay and the best part of the big island (kona or hilo?) We plan on renting a car in all locations and want to get out and see the countryside/sites. Thanks for any advice!!

The general guideline is one week per island. I would not make a trip to Maui for only two nights, nor The Big Island for only 3 nights. I would chose either one for the total of 5 nights. Especially with a small child.

I agree with Pareo - seriously consider adjusting your schedule. Half a day gone for travel to and from any island - between car rental return %26amp; security check, getting there and getting new rental car.

Advice on ';best parts'; is difficult without knowing budget, hotel or condo, etc.

Start on the left side of the page, Before You Go -

Get a copy of ';Hawaii for Dummies'; which is loaded with information.

totaly forget the Big Island.....need 6 days...not small child friendly... Go to Maui for 6 nights

I totally agree with the other posters. Only one more island - and Maui would be most suitable. Island hopping consumes too much time, and packing/unpacking/flights/lines/etc. are a hassle - a double hassle with a young one.

You%26#39;ll need much more time for the Big Island. 5 nights in Maui is good.

Thanks for the advice about choosing 1 instead of 2 places.. We like a less touristly place. I guess that is why the Big Island sounded ideal. We have been to French Poly 2x and friends/family that have been to both places say we might not like Maui. I understand if Big Island would not be as enjoyable having a small child.. (he has travelled alot so that is not an issue for us)so that is why we are up in air about Maui....
