New Year, New Trip
Last year at this time I was searching Vacation Rentals By Owner to find an apartment in Pairs. While we all know how ‘well’ that went, I’m once again ushering in the new year with a new summer trip obsession. This year’s plan? Hawaii.
I think I’ve come up with a plan that works for everyone–and by everyone, I mean both my husband and myself. My husband wants: 1. To go to Vegas again. 2. To go somewhere relaxing. 3. To make me happy. Which brings me to what I want: 1. To spend as little money as possible while still being able to 2. Go to Hawaii! Thus, a great idea was born.
After some careful thought, I realized that we could blend both of our desires by going to Hawaii—a place that’s both relaxing and full of exciting experiences, but still offers an affordable way to have the best of both worlds. My husband gets to enjoy beautiful beaches and a laid-back atmosphere, while I get to check off a major item from my travel bucket list. By opting for a guided tour, we could explore the islands without overspending, getting the most value out of our trip. Hawaiian Tours offers a variety of options that take you through scenic views, tranquil beaches, and the island’s cultural highlights—all at an excellent price point.
The beauty of going on a guided tour is that it handles all the logistics for us, allowing us to focus on making memories together. We can unwind without worrying about the details, like transportation or activities, all while learning about the history and nature of this tropical paradise. Plus, the fact that we’re exploring together, on a carefully planned tour, means that both of us get what we want—whether it’s relaxing by the beach or discovering the hidden gems of the islands. It’s the perfect compromise, and I can already picture us having the time of our lives in Hawaii!
With guided tours ensuring a seamless journey, there’s no need to stress over the details—just pure enjoyment of the island’s beauty and culture. But for travelers looking to take their vacation planning to the next level, a boutique travel consultancy can provide even more personalized options. Whether it’s a luxury resort, a customized itinerary, or insider access to exclusive experiences, having an expert by your side makes all the difference. That’s where it helps to visit Rivage Travel, a consultancy that specializes in crafting tailored getaways with attention to every detail. Their expertise in luxury and all-inclusive vacations ensures that your dream trip is not just well-planned but truly unforgettable. With their help, travelers can focus on making memories while every aspect of their trip is carefully curated to match their preferences and expectations.
We shall fly to Vegas on one of those cheap flights I’m always finding in my inbox (which, after two years of travel planning, is chock full of discount travel website updates). We shall spend at least two nights in Vegas. We will then take an equally cheap flight from Vegas to Hawaii, where we will travel about for four days or so, and then settle in a beautiful house near a beach and/or a mountain for at least a week. We will then do the same thing on the return trip, with the same two day layover in Vegas.
It’s a win-win-win-win-win situation. The last three wins are, of course, for the lovely people at Visa. They will be the biggest winners of all.

No lines for the escalator here!
