Oahu to get married, then start hopping

Now what do I recommend for most couples?

If you have the time and the budget, book a ten day trip to Hawaii. Fly to Oahu to get married and spend a few days of your honeymoon here. Then, utilize a very cheap yet reliable carrier called Go! Airlines (www.iflygo.com), and island hop onto the islands of your choice.

Go! Airlines is amazingly cheap. Their current fairs are around $35 dollars per one-way trip, but I've seen them as cheap as $19 dollars per one-way trip. Yes it's that cheap, and you won't be flying on a cheap prop-plane either. “Go!” flies business class jets, that are fast, reliable, and very sleek looking.

I'd recommend through your “island-hops,” to at least hop on over to the Big Island to see our active volcano, Kilauea , pouring lava into the ocean. I don't think you can really see that anywhere else in the world. And from what I've heard, it looks pretty awesome. Personally, I've never seen this yet, as with many locals, but I'm planning too! Two days is enough at each island. Any longer, you're likely to die of boredom.

So after you finish with your island hopping adventures, hope on over back to Oahu to pick up your photos and your video, and to spend your last few days relaxing on the beach, and living up the night life a little. Oh yeah, and you can finish up your shopping while you're back on Oahu as well.

Now if you can't spend 10 days in Hawaii, and can only spend 5 to 7 days, I'd recommend just staying on the island of Oahu . You'll find more than enough things to do here, and more than enough sun to get that tan you can brag about to your friends.
