We are thinking around 2 weeks in Hawaii in the summer of 2019--I was leaning towards late June because I heard June was the driest month, but I'm open to suggestions, including late August.
It will be myself, DH, DS12, and DD9. None of us has ever been to Hawaii. We will fly from the East Coast, either out of NYC or Philadelphia.
I know we need to go to another island to see volcanoes, which is a must. As is a touch of Disney, but I say a touch because I honestly can't see staying an entire week at Aulani (are the food options really that limited in the area surrounding the resort?). Hopefully taxis or Uber are available if we didn't want to rent a car to get away for decent food? I would want to see Pearl Harbor as well.
So what type of itinerary do folks recommend, assuming this could be a "one and done (at least for awhile) trip"? I am Hilton Diamond member, if anyone has a specific resort/hotel to recommend. I don't need a kitchen; I don't cook on vacation. We'd also consider a cruise around the islands if someone has one to recommend.
Thanks!
