we are planning on Hawaii for 7 days in Oahu. The airfare plus hotel from Montana is $2500 (best discount on sams club travel online, way better then I could find anywhere else) We are anticipating another $1500-2000 in food and activities. We are debating between the Hilton hawaiin village or Coconut Waikiki, you can't beat the reviews for the coconut waikiki so we are leaning towards that, its a small boutique hotel not right on the beach so its quieter. Depending on if you rather be right on the beach or little away from the hussle and bussle.

We are planning on going parasailing, to luau's, dinner cruise, pearl harbor, and a few other activities we'll decide on when we get there.

We just booked our honeymoon last week to Hawaii!  YAY!!!  We are going to Maui for 5 nights then Kauai for 4 nights.  For flight (from Utah), car rentals and hotels we are spending just under $4,000 but you can definately do it for cheaper. 

We are staying at the Grand Hyatt in Kauai, which definately bumped our price up a lot, but I have stayed there and it is a great hotel!  In Maui we are staying at the  Royal Lahaina in Kaanapali.

I had never used a travel agent before booking this trip, but our was unbelievably helpful and I'm glad we decided to not book everything ourselves!!  We used Rhonda at VIP Travel (Rhondavipvacations@rcn.com).  She was highly recommended on these boards and has found us way better deals than anything found on my own.  We told her a general idea of what we wanted, how long and our price range, and she gave us a few options.

Also if you could share some itinerary information like how many days you spent in each place (or are planning to), where you stayed (or planning to), etcIf you did already go, what was your favorite experience/restaurant/hotel.  One of my favourite things (and I didn't do it this trip) was camp in one of the cabins in Haleakala's crater. That was sooo much fun. Surfing with Goofy Foot in Lahaina, eating at Sansei & Roy's. Definitely do a snokeling & kayak tour with Maui Eco Tours. It's great!

Best restaurant was a tie: Mama's fish house and Duke's (eat the Hula Pie!).  Best experience was snorkeling at Hono Lua Bay.  Rent some snorkel gear and drive there and snorkel all day.  It was beautiful
