Is Kauai Back to Normal? Plus More of Your Hawaii Questions Answered
Épisode 273
jeudi 5 novembre 2026 • Durée 16:35
Is Kauai back to normal after Hurricane Lowell? What’s reopened, what’s still closed, and what should visitors know before planning a trip?
In this episode of Hawaii's Best, I'm answering real questions sent in by listeners about Kauai recovery, planning a multigenerational Oahu vacation, Hawaii's unpredictable weather, and ways to give back to the islands.
I'm also sharing how my family approaches planning trips with different ages, why I don't put too much trust in Hawaii weather forecasts, and what visitors should understand about the ongoing recovery in Kauai and Lahaina.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Kauai after Hurricane Lowell: What's reopened as of November 3, 2026, which state parks remain closed, and alternatives for exploring the North Shore.
Oahu family vacation planning: How to plan nine days with family members ages 13 to 82 without exhausting everyone.
Hawaii weather in November: Why a forecast showing rain doesn't necessarily mean your vacation will be a washout.
Lahaina recovery: What's changed in West Maui and what visitors should know about ongoing rebuilding.
Giving back to Kauai: Practical ways to volunteer, donate, and support communities beyond simply shopping local.
I was especially encouraged by how many of you asked about helping Kauai recover. It's a reminder that visiting Hawaii isn't just about where we go, but also how we treat the people and places we visit.

Oahu or the Big Island? How to Choose for Your First Hawaii Trip
Épisode 272
mardi 3 novembre 2026 • Durée 19:56
Planning your first Hawaii trip but can't decide between Oahu and the Big Island? I usually recommend Oahu for first-time visitors, but depending on what you're looking for, the Big Island might actually be the better choice.
In this episode, I'm comparing these two very different islands to help you figure out which one fits your travel style, budget, and the kind of vacation you want.
Oahu is still our family's favorite, but the Big Island has become a close second, especially for our three girls. And surprisingly, it wasn't the volcanoes or beaches that made the biggest impression on them!
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why I usually recommend Oahu for a first Hawaii trip.
Where to stay on each island, from Waikiki and Ko Olina to Kona, Kohala, and Hilo.
Which island has better beaches, snorkeling, and activities.
What to expect from driving, traffic, and rental cars on both islands.
Why spending a night or two in Hilo might be worth considering.
Which island I'd choose for families, couples, and visitors looking for a relaxing resort vacation.
_ I'll also share some of our family's experiences, including what surprised us about visiting the Big Island.
My goal is to help you choose the right island before you book, so you can spend less time second-guessing your plans and more time enjoying Hawaii.
You'll find helpful resources, including my free Hawaii Reservation Checker, in the show notes below.

mardi 27 octobre 2026 • Durée 31:11
Want to use points for a Hawaii trip, but feel overwhelmed by the cards, programs, and advice? Alex and Jess from Points Talk explain where to start and how to build a plan around the trip you actually want to take.
I’ve used airline miles to get my family to Hawaii, but I still felt like I was playing the slow game. So I brought my own questions to this conversation, including how many cards you really need and what changes when you’re booking for a whole family.
We get into:
How credit card welcome offers and flexible points work
Why choosing your trip comes before choosing your cards
How to research flights and hotel stays using points
Ways families approach companion passes and multiple hotel rooms
Beginner mistakes, annual fees, and why paying your balance in full matters

10 Hawaii Travel Lessons I Wish I'd Learned Sooner
Épisode 268
mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 20:01
Planning a trip to Hawaii? Some of the most important things to know before visiting aren't the ones you'll find on a typical travel checklist. And a few mistakes can cost you time, money, or experiences you were looking forward to.
When I first visited Hawaii with my wife in 2007, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. Nearly 20 years and many trips later, I've learned just how much I didn't know. And honestly, there are a few things I still get wrong.
In this episode of Hawaii's Best, I'm sharing 10 Hawaii travel lessons I wish I'd learned sooner, including practical planning advice, local customs, and a few things that completely changed how I experience the islands.
In this episode, you'll learn:
The packing mistake I still make after nearly 20 years of visiting Hawaii
Why showing up without a reservation could mean missing out on some of Hawaii's most popular experiences
The driving habits that can make visitors stand out for all the wrong reasons
What you're missing if Waikiki is the only Hawaii you experience
Why trying to visit too many Hawaiian islands could actually make your vacation less enjoyable
What most travel guides don't fully explain about Hawaiian culture, tourism, and the aloha spirit
Why Hawaii's weather forecast doesn't always tell you what to expect
Whether it's your first Hawaii vacation or your tenth, these are the lessons I wish someone had shared with me years ago.
Because planning a better Hawaii trip isn't just about knowing where to go or what to do. It's also about understanding the place you're visiting and the people who call it home.

Hawaii Vacations Are Getting Shorter. Is That a Bad Thing?
Épisode 265
jeudi 8 octobre 2026 • Durée 09:17
Hawaii vacations are getting shorter. In July, the average Hawaii trip dropped more than 14% compared with 2025, even as visitor arrivals increased.
So what is actually changing, and is a shorter Hawaii vacation really a bad thing?
In this episode, I break down the latest Hawaii travel numbers, what may be driving shorter stays, and why more travelers appear to be simplifying their trips, including choosing one island instead of two.
You’ll learn:
The surprising gap in Hawaii’s latest tourism numbers, and why it caught my attention
What may be pushing travelers to cut days from their Hawaii trips
Why the shift from two islands to one might tell us something bigger about how Hawaii travel is changing
The downside of shorter stays that goes beyond fewer hotel nights
The spending number that makes this trend much more complicated than it first appears
My answer to the bigger question: is a shorter Hawaii vacation actually worse?
My take: fewer days does not automatically mean a worse vacation. The bigger question is whether your itinerary actually fits the time you have.
If you’re planning a Hawaii vacation and deciding how many days to stay or whether to visit one island or two, this episode will help you think through that decision.
