It depends on what you want to do while in Hawaii. It also depends on your budget. There are all different types of Hotels and Condos on the islands for every budget. The best way to get the most for yoru money is talk to a Specialist. It is very important to speak with someone who has been to Hawaii (and all the condos and resorts) and is familiar with the packages offered for your travel dates. And make sure the agent you speak to doesnt charge any fees, most do, we do not. Low Season (cheaper time to travel) is Sept-Dec avoiding holidays and the April and May (again avoiding holidays). <br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.saveonaloha.com Certified Hawaii Travel Agent, specializing in Anniversaries and Honeymoons Either Maui, Kauai, or Lanai.

It also has a lot to do there, and is pretty. You can get the best rates in the fall to stay there- I know of a condo that is renting at $80/nt. for the fall, and it is near a great beach. Owner owned condos can be a better deal- for about half the price of a hotel. You can also make you meals in the kitchens, and save money there. There is also information on this website for activities. <br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.stayinparadise.com I think Maui is not as crowded as the Honolulu area, and it has great beaches.

There you can go to the highest mountain in the world from sea level up, and if you come during winter it snows in Muana Kea. Also you can see the active volcano Kilauea. Be sure to go to Kona side though, it's more paradise. Theirs so many climate there. Kona is more sunny, Hilo is more rainy, and Waimea is cold. They have white sand beach, black sand beach, and green sand beach. But the best thing about Kona though is that it's not over populated like Oahu or Maui. <br><b>References : </b><br> Big Island, Hawaii.

It is super romantic, not too huge. The road to Hana is wonderful. Four Seasons Wailea is supposed to be the best hotel. If you can't afford it Hyatt Maui is good too although very large. i would suggest a couple days in Hana hotel - has jacuzzis on the verandas. The great thing about Hawaii is that it is perfect year round.<br><b>References : </b><br>3 visits to hawaii - Oahu, Maui, Kauai Maui, no question. It is super romantic, not too huge.

MLS doesn't want the league to end up like the NASL. MLS purposely have a low salary cap so that clubs can turn a profit. There is no way MLS will put a team in Honolulu. The travel expenses for that club would be 4 maybe 5 times as high as any other team. It would be hard to make up that type of revenue. Keep in mind how many games they play: Preseason Games (3-6 Games) 30 MLS Games (15 Away Games) 1-4 US Open Cup Games SuperLiga Games (If they qualify) CONCACAF Champions League (If they qualify) Playoff Games (If qualify) 20+ Away Games That is a lot of money to spend on Air Fare and hotels for 22 players plus staff.<br><b>References : </b><br> MLS is a young league.

MLS is a professional sports league; every team has to compete against each other, at least some time during the season. You can't have a Honolulu MLS team only compete against a college team, something no MLS team would be able to do anyway. A Honolulu MLS team would have to take trips to the continental United States a lot, and that's why Hawaii doesn't have professional sports teams, and won't have them for any time soon due to the economic crisis of 2008 & 2009, as we know it.<br><b>References : </b><br> The way you’re thinking of a new team just can’t happen.
