Reservations checked!

If I haven't bragged enough in my last two posts, I'm sorry but I'm doing it again. This time a whole post dedicated to bragging about us going on a family vacation to Paradise. Sorry, I can't help it, every part of my body is pouring excitement and did I mention that I desperately needed this vacation? Also did I fail to mention that this vacation was almost denied twice by my manager?! Well thankfully I was approved for 10 days of pure relaxation, eating to my heart's content, and just enjoying my time with my two loves aka my king and prince.

Other than booking our flights from Hawaiian Airlines which we did back in December, our next biggest thing to tackle was finding a hotel. The rates for rooms on the beach is insanely expensive this year and found the lowest price at $209 per night. That may not sound too shabby, but imagine staying for more than a week, to some people that's already their monthly mortgage. I've even came to a decision that we should stay at a condo just a few blocks from the beach, but my heart kept telling me it's just not the same. Thankfully, my sis was able to get a group discount for her wedding guests, although it was still pricey, it sounded better than $200+ a night. I am excited to say that we booked our room at the beautiful grounds of Hilton Hawaiian Village, nothing but the best on Oahu (IMHO). We've stayed here for the past 4 visits to Hawaii including the time I got married and we absolutely love it. You never have to leave the grounds! The resort even has wild animals, wild meaning penguins, flamingos, abundance of huge koi fishes and so much more. Check it out for yourself...
