You can find them at Barnes and Noble and similar chains. Worth the $$$

I am limited to 10 links in any response, but will put in sufficient info to find the remaining links I couldn’t include…

No place is easier to visit on your own without using a tourist agency than Hawaii, they rely on tourism and it is sooo easy to get around and find things to spend your precious money on, and smile doing it! Make sure to rent a car, totally worth having the ability to drive to that secluded tropical beach or getaway. However, particularly Hawaiian Airlines has good air/hotel/car packages that will save you $200-$300 as a bundled ala carte "tour", but you won’t be able to pick your own hotels. If you are in Central or East coast, other airlines have similar packages.
Google search (Hawaiianairlines tour packages)

If you want to experience the best of fusion island food (Asian/Island/American at Alan Wong’s or Roy’s) and want a tropical urban experience with international nightlife, then Honolulu with its Waikiki Beach is the only spot in the islands to experience this, but still with isolated beaches on the rest of the island. They also have most of the historic and tourist sites (Iolani Palace..the only true royal palace in the USA, Pearl Harbor, etc.) For romance, check out the following:
The most romantic restaurant: http://www.kaimana.com/dining.htm
The most historic romantic resort: http://www.royal-hawaiian.com/
Secluded B&B right on the sand of North Shore Sunset Beach: http://www.santasbythesea.com/Home_Page.html
The most exotic jungle hike (wear repellent, bring Tevas!): Manoa Falls, google search (Manoa Falls hiking)
The best snorkeling (go early to see the turtles and moray eels!): Hanauma Bay, Google search (Hanauma Bay)
The best buy: Buying "her" a gorgeous orchid crown or orchid lei ($7) to wear in the evenings at the source on Mauna Kea Street, near central Honolulu chinatown: http://www.cindysleishoppe.com/

For that serene tropical beach resort on an impeccable white sandy beach with coconut trees, then Maui is for you and others will undoubtedly recommend the Grand Wailea on Wailea Beach (or the Four Seasons if you can afford it…). However, for an isolated tropical getaway on the "jungle" side of Maui, check out the resorts in Hana. Getting there takes a few hours on a winding road hugging the sea cliff through a rain forest, with waterfalls at every turn in some places, one-lane bridges and bamboo forests. There are two resorts, one is world-famous (and $$$$$) and the other is a condo-hotel. Warning: all the jungle scenery comes at a cost of a lot of rain…

Test each other’s bravery on a zipline tour: http://www.zipline.com/
Take a boat tour out to the sunken caldera of Molokini: link is www.molokini.com

The other islands are less-visited, but my favorite outer island is the Big Island. It is the most exotic and adventurous where you can visit actual orange lava flowing into the sea, or dive at night with manta rays:

..and don’t forget to eat a slice of Macadamia Nut Pie (like pecan pie but with macadamia nuts oh-my-god)
Google search (Mac Pie)

And for the most beautiful scenery right out of the South Pacific (which was filmed on this beach, as was portions of Jurassic Park) you can’t beat Hawaii and Hanalei. They just completed a huge renovation to the resort overlooking Hanalei Bay, really the most beautiful scenery of all Hawaii!!

If I were seeing a close relative on his/her deathbed, I wouldn’t want the press approaching me either.

“the most incredible and exciting trips of our lives”

Lyrics:

Feeling the moment slip away
Losing direction you’re losing faith
You’re wishing for someone
Feeling it all begin to slide
Am I just like you
All the things you do – can’t help myself

How do you feel when there’s no sun
And how will you be when rain clouds come and pull you down again
How will you feel when there’s no one
Am I just like you

Turning to face what you’ve become
Bury the ashes of someone
Broken by the strain
Trying to fill that space inside
Am I just like you
All the things you do – can’t help myself

How do you feel when there’s no sun
And how will you be when rain clouds come and pull you down again
How will you feel when there’s no one
Am I just like you
All the things you do

Don’t ever feel
That you’re alone
I’ll never let you down
I’ll never leave you dry
Don’t fall apart
Don’t let it go
Carry the notion
Carry the notion back to me

Feeling the moment slip away
Feeling the moment slip away

Cause I’m just like you

How do you feel when there’s no sun
And how will you be when rain clouds come and pull you down again
How will you feel when there’s no one

Am I just like you?
