i couldn't get hawaii off my mind these last couple of days...maybe because it was the 'cheaper' alternative to visiting relatives in italy. now i have to call my aunt and tell her we are postponing our visit for yet another year. siguro dapat sila nalang magpunta dito. =D
anyway, so i asked paul if hawaii was ok...so as soon as he said yes, i was on the computer planning another getaway...the criteria for my search:
- beach access - i don't want a hotel that's a block from the beach, i want to be right at the beach
- kiddie pool - when traveling with a 4 year old, it's wise to look for a place with a good kiddie pool. it doesn't have to be fancy with all the slides, i'm just looking for a good size pool with no more than 2 feet of water.
- kitchen - going on a vacation can be expensive and i want to save a little bit of $$ by finding a place with a kitchen so we can cook a few meals and not have to eat out every single time
- reasonably priced - we were lucky to land a very, very, very good rate during our trip to maui last year. the same trip this year at the same resort cost 3x more than what we paid for so i have to find another good deal this time
after looking at vacation packages from many different websites and not being satisfied with their prices (all of them cost $1,200/person for 5 nights) i was starting to feel a little discouraged. parang can't afford yata mag hawaii ngayon. waaaaah!!!
so i went to look at just hotels and think i found THE perfect place in oahu for me and the family!
i found prices that were a little more than what i would pay for a stay at the marriott but the kitchen makes up for that. we can cook our breakfast in the kitchen and there are bbq pits around the resort. it had everything i wanted plus we can snorkel at the hotel's lagoon! wowoweee!!! even without paul seeing this yet, i went ahead and made reservations. yipee!!!
my parents are coming too (most likely) so double yipee! someone can watch michelle while paul and i enjoy some time at the pool with our mai tais!
i'm booking our air tickets tomorrow or the day after. woot woot!!!

wow!
Kung me piso fare lang pa Hawaii, im joining you. hehhe =)
wish ko lang din uso ang piso fare dito but that never happens!
we still found a pretty good deal on airfare tho which was great! tuloy na kami (me, paul, michelle, and mommy). si daddy nagdadrama pa e.
i love!
I'd give up my backpacking trips to do splurging with that kid of resort! (that is kung afford ko!) haha
Chyng, its nice to pamper yourself every now and then. Mukha lang expensive ang trips namin pero i really do a lot of homework before i book so we get the most bang for our buck.
Bilib ako sa backpacking trips mo tho. Rule number 1 ko sa tutuluyan ko, may maayos na banyo. Heheh pag walang ganun parang hirap na hirap na ako...well kung ako lang siguro kaya ko pa. Pag may anak gusto lagi convenient e.pag malaki na si michelle gagawin namin yung ganon =)
