Hawaii
Hi,I'm looking for last min deals,(airfair and hotel) to Hawaii. I
have never been there but want to get out of L.A. for Christmas. I dont know one island from the other but I do want to get away from the crowds,maybe rent a jeep and explore or eat a pineapple or two. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks,, Richard |

The airlines, hotels, and rental car companies all up their prices for that week. If you want to explore remote tropical villages in your jeep, try Costa Rica or Vietnam. |

Thanks,, Richard Getting last minute airline tickets into our out of Hawaii from Thanksgiving to January 2nd is nigh on impossible and you will probably have to fly first class if you are lucky enough to find a seat on a redeye. Accommodations can be had, but, there are few bargains at this time of year unless you are willing to stay in a timeshare or bed and breakfast. The problem will be air transportation, that is getting round trip tickets, everything else will be available, but, nothing at bargain prices. Should you be lucky enough to get a ticket, you are invited to visit my Hawaii webpages which have links to accomodations, ground transporation, bed and breakfast locations and points of interest as well as things to do at: http://hawaii.home.att.net/ - where you'll find no advertising, no pop-ups, no cookies and nothing for sale. Good luck!

Just don't eat the pineapples!
The suggestion about Costa Rica is a good one if you have a passport. So much for that idea,like I said I know nothing about it,,,maybe Prague? |

Any advice is appreciated. www.pleasantholidays.com seems to have the best deals -- high or low season -- to Hawaii (and other places) of any tour company. Their main departure cities for Hawaii are LAX and SFO via ATA (www.ata.com) airlines. -- Stefan Patric NoLife Polymath Group |

locals consider tourists as fair game to be liberated of any and all of their belongings make sure it is duct-taped to your body bet they tell you that in the tourist books bill |

If you don't want to pay that just keep walking when they put parrot on your shoulder and they'll take it back. |
