Hawaii HM super excited!!

Diamond1031

We found a condo to rent in Hawaii so I decided to email a request to the owner. I'm not kidding...from the time I hit send to my cell phone ringing was under 10 mins. No joke! And he emailed me within 2 minutes of our conversation to confirm the price all when he's on vacation!

I'm am SO impressed and can't wait to give the deposit! I just had to share my excitement. :-)

Sounds wonderful!  It's always nice to deal with people who are super on top of things.

We have decided on Kauai. :-). I wish I could go now! But I know it will be worth the wait.

Did I mention we are going for 13 days?    Soooo excited.

Where are you staying?  :-)  It was  a toss up between Maui and Kauai, but we both agreed on Kauai.  I can't wait to hear your reviews next year.  :-)

</div><div>We're going to stay at the Westin Maui.  I have a fair amount of Starwood points saved up so we're going to try to put those toward the room so we have some funds left over for some fun stuff (kayaking, surfing, zip lining, horseback riding, etc).   I've heard maazing things about Kauai too, though!  My boss went there for her HM and she said it was divine, she was trying to convice me to go there instead. ;)

We are booking our post wedding vacation in February.  Also, tropical, like you D1031, but on the other side.  Maroma Beach, Mexico.  We actually are booking the HM suite. 

Love this place.  We're only going for a week (8 nights) but it should be awesome all the same.  I think I am most excited about the outside shower.

So jealous!  I would love to have an outside shower.  The resort looks amazing Smokey!  I can't wait to hear all about it...your wedding is right around the corner.  <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />  Are you nervous at all?

I love points!  <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />  We have lots of points with one cc and was thinking of putting it toward a hotel stay, but we will use it for a rental car.  I still need to see what else we can use our points for.  We don't have enough to cover our airfare which would be nice, but that's okay.  I can't wait to hear all about your HM in Maui.  Friends of ours stayed in Maui and a co worker HM'd in Kauai so that's why we had a choice of the two islands.  I wish I could go NOW!  lol

Nope. I know everything is going to be fine and if it's not, I will be in my favorite place, have my favorite people with me and lots of booze flowing around me.    Short of injury there is not much that can happen that would freak me out.

Diamond 1031 you will have to give me more details, I see you are from Chicago? We are planning our honeymoon to Kauai in June 2012 but I have no clue where to start.
