Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Hi,
I have made a promise to each of my three kids to take them on a special trip -- just me and them, for a week or so, anywhere in the world. My 9 year old daughter's turn is next. She has chosen Hawaii, and our best available opportunity will be the last week of March, 2012 (~3/25 - ~3/31).
Here's here prioritized list of what she wants to do (higher priorities first):
Snorkeling
Whale watching
Submarine
Aquarium / glass tubes
Volcano
Swimming
Waterfalls
Helicopter ride
Surf lessons (I'm hoping with Nords?)
Boating tours
Ceremonies (not sure exactly what she means by this...maybe the fire stuff)
Hula school
Unprioritized but she's definitely interested: visit the telescopes on Mauna Kea (?)
I'm starting to make rough plans, so my first question is, given the above list, what are the best island(s) to visit? I have heard that the whales go past the big island, and I think the telescopes are on the big island as well. Nords is on Oahu? I know helicopter rides and waterfalls happen on Kauai, but may happen elsewhere.
We can probably stay at most a full week, traveling to and from CONUS on an 8th and 9th day, so I'm guessing that 2 islands would be good. 3 islands is probably too much island hopping/planes/airports/packing/unpacking/rental cars/etc. overhead and not enough having fun.
Thanks,
