    • You island vacation awaitsYou island vacation awaits

      We've got a whole bunch of Hawaii addicts in our office who have perfected the art of traveling to the islands-and living large-for less. They share their tips and secrets here, in hopes that their insight helps you get to indulge in poi and hula this summer.


      Fare Scout
      Each Wednesday new fares are released, with rates fluctuating wildly. Keep an eye on fares from the airlines you know fly to the islands from your city of origin and buy tickets the second you see them at a reasonable rate. Case in point: One of our editors in California watched fares hover around $800 per ticket for round-trip travel from San Francisco to Maui for weeks. Then, the same tickets went on sale for $400. Look for new fares to be released on Wednesday of each week.


      Be Flexible in Your Departure City or Route
      Some airports in surrounding areas may have lower fares. Others offer lower rates for routes that have one stop along the way.

      It was 9 years ago today that I got that horrible call. The kind of call you would never expect but haunts you years aftewards. I was 20 years old rebelliously trying to make it on my own, Living in Juneau AK wondering what I was going to do with my life. Summer was here and I was working and being selfish wrapped up in my 20 year old world. Then that call...


      I was half awake when I got it, I thought i was still dreaming and not hearing things clearly... but then I was awake and in my bed away from you, and those close even in small Juneau! My heart began to beat and I knew that it was all to real.

      3. Create a Border

      "If you live in a ho-hum space without any architectural details like crown moldings or substantial baseboards, do what I did: Apply a 1" tape to the perimeter of your ceiling to draw your eye upward - you can buy inexpensive masking tape in an art supply store, in an array of colors. Inset the tape 1" to 1½" away from the wall. Be sure to follow any natural turns that result from soffits or columns. The result is a crisp, clean outline that adds height and defines the space." -Jonathan Rosen
