The Hawaiian Island of Kauai has a reputation for being the wettest island in the Hawaiian Island group. We experienced some of natures fury in some light rain which put us onto some non beach activities in order to navigate through our days. Today’s visit to Kauai Coffee Estate and to Brennecke’s Beach Broiler allowed us to experience some of the local attractions in Kauai while managing our weather challenges. Activity: Sipping… Read More
Our travels to Hawaii hadn’t yet taken us to groovy and soul filled Kauai which is the quietest of the Hawaiian Islands. As an island that has a reputation for wet weather and being off the beaten path, it takes less of the shine than Oahu or Maui which have much larger resorts and hotels. Our visit would have us based in Poi’pu at the sunny south end of the Island of… Read More
Our travels would take us on Hawaiian Airlines service between the Hawaiian Islands as we travelled from Honolulu on Oahu over to Poipu on Kauai. As one of the sole major carriers operating the route between the two islands, you’re likely to fly Hawaiian Airlines if you travel by air between the islands. Our flight today would take us on their unusual Boeing 717 – 200 series jet in first class for… Read More
Hawaiian Airlines operates a substantial international route network from it’s home base at Honolulu Daniel K Inouye International Airport. As it’s not affiliated with any international airline alliance, it has to operate its own lounge network in order to stay competitive against the other international carriers.

As part of my journey, I visited Bills Sydney in Waikiki Beach for a celebratory dinner after completing the United Island Hopper. This review is especially poignant as Bills Restaurant did not survive the pandemic health restrictions and closed permanently in September 2020. If there is any silver lining to this story, is that Bills operates restaurants in Sydney, Australia, throughout Japan and in Seoul Korea. Perhaps this report will inspire you… Read More
With one of the most bizarre routes connecting the United States and a United States Overseas Territory, United Airlines offers regular wide body service between Honolulu, Hawaii and the Island Territory of Guam. The distance between these two places is 3,801 miles, making it beyond the comfortable reach of most narrow body United Airlines Boeing 737 products. I would test out this long haul flight on their Boeing 777-200 product on my… Read More
There are limited lounge options when departing from the US Territory of Guam. With an early morning departure, I had the opportunity to visit the Sagan Bisita VIP Lounge in the departures concourse of the Guam International Airport. The Sagan Bisita VIP Lounge is the priority pass independent lounge offering. While you won’t be blown away by this particular space, it did offer a friendly environment to hang out in as an… Read More
After arriving into town on the United Airlines Island Hopper marathon day, I needed a one night stay at a hotel before my returning flight back to Honolulu. Since I had left my wife behind in Hawaii, I didn’t get the opportunity to check out Guam in the short time that I was there. I ended up at the Sheraton Laguna Guam Resort for a brief thirteen hour stay. I would end… Read More
