Just an fyi that the lounge closes reasonably early, so if you’re taking the overnight flights to Van, you’ll still be spending most of your time sitting at the gate (for the OP who I’m assuming is a fellow Canuck).

As mentioned by others above, my family loves 1br ocean view, provided we’re in the Ewa tower. The rooms are exceptionally quiet during the day (and you get to watch the luau at night), as opposed to being near the pool, where it’s far too noisy on the balcony for my wife and I to work and for...

Not sure if this is available at Costco from coast to coast, but I’m in Calgary and saw that they were selling $500 WestJet gift cards for $450. Not a huge savings, but at least it helps defray the cost of booking a seat or checking a bag.

As an fyi, if you stay in the Ewa tower (depending on what view you choose), your balcony will overlook the luau. Having actually paid for the luau once, we have no hesitation in recommending to people that sitting on your balcony enjoying your own food and drinks is 90% of the experience at 10%...

Being an insomniac, once my wife nods off, I always move to a different room at home so as not to disturb her sleep with my flip-flopping and listening to podcasts all night. At Aulani, our daughter always chooses the murphy bed, so I end up on the sofa bed (it’s either that or sleep in chairs...

There with my family last month and the temperature seemed fine to me, although I’m Canadian and shorts go on at 60 and the a/c goes on at 70, so I may not be the best judge of what’s warm for those who live down south…

If you stop by the DVC show suite just down from the front desk, they’ll give you a ‘gift’ (it was a drawstring bag as of two weeks ago) and a flyer listing the DVC events that week.

Ate at Da Bald Guy last week, after seeing them on the Food Network and Netflix. Definitely a highlight of the trip. Unfortunately we went at lunchtime and I didn’t want to disrupt their work flow to ask for a selfie with James (although that didn’t seem to bothers others who did, and he...

Foodland > Costco Great vs. Good enough After many, many samples that they kept offering, ended up buying three pounds of it - one each of the Limu, the extra spicy and the chili garlic. This was around noon yesterday - probably going to need a re-stock tomorrow…

Thx, all. Grabbed Costco on our way to the hotel on Saturday. Already plowed thru it. Stopped at the Foodland in the Macy’s mall this morning. Wow - no comparison. Costco is good enough, but this is the best poke I’ve ever had (keeping in mind that I’m a landlocked Canadian)… About twice the...

Yeah, working by the pool/on the beach just isn’t going to happen - I lost wifi by the time I hit Off the Hook. Fortunately we have a great ocean view room high up in Ewa, so working from the balcony hasn’t proven to be too much of a hardship… and the Mai Tai’s from our fridge are...

Landlocked Canadian whose options to access to really fresh fish on a regular basis is somewhat limited… which is why I find myself eating copious amounts of poke during every trip to Aulani. While not the best, I’ve found that the poke from the costco in Kapolei is still pretty decent, so...

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the helpful response. Very much appreciated.

Wondering if there are any updates to this? I teach post-secondary and my daughter is at university, and the hope is that I can mark and she can study from the pool deck and/or beach, rather than being stuck in the room.

While I also use my Infinite Avion to rent vehicles, my auto insurance policy includes specific coverage when I rent (collision and liability). The cost of this is minimal (last time I looked, I think it was about $50/75 annually) and in my view, is well worth it, especially since you are spot...

Hi all. I have found a few vendors that offer nighttime paddleboarding, but the only hit that comes back on a search for nighttime kayaking is one at the Polynesian Cultural Center in their lagoon. Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Thx.

Morning. Unless they've changed it since the last time I looked, the list of DVC perks at parks and resorts used to be found on the DVCmember website once you log in with your account.

I 'third' Eggs 'N Things. Excellent eggs and excellent things. The 'n was only ok...

Nexus is the best. I flew AC domestic out of Pearson last week and even with being there two hours before my flight, I seriously doubt I would have made it thru security in time. Fortunately, with my Nexus card, I had exactly three people in front of me in order to get thru the line. So worth it…
