Hawaii was my husband’s and my first big trip together and it was absolutely magical. We talk about it all the time. Even while we were still there, we promised each other that Hawaii would be a “once every 10 years” type trip. Since then, we’ve knocked that down to 5 years because we’re so impatient haha! We visited the island Oahu and stayed in Honolulu for the first half of the trip and then traveled north for the second half, staying at Turtle Bay. Every aspect of this island was gorgeous, but we found that we are definitely the type of travelers that want to take the road less traveled and away from people.
