Our trip to Hawaii<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

This was our first trip paid for with points and miles. We certainly still have a lot to learn. We have earned all the points for this trip in one year.To celebrate 25 years of married life, my husband and I were lucky enough to take this wonderful pre-COVID-19 trip in February 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time on Oahu, the temperature was cooler, occasionally below 20 degrees, with occasional rain and wind. On the other hand, the weather on Big Island was beautiful. Here is our detailed itinerary and budget, to make you dream until you can travel again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Oahu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Day 1 – Departure to Oahu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

7:00 am, departure from Montreal on a United Airlines flight with a stopover in Chicago. Scheduled arrival in Honolulu at 3:55 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the weather, our flight was delayed for over an hour. We had a short stopover, but the carrier was waiting for us in Chicago. We still arrived on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival, we picked up our Avis rental car at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, we checked into our hotel room at the Residence Inn Oahu Kapolei<\/a>. Brand new hotel, which opened in October 2019. Quiet and well soundproofed place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit far from the center, but we had breakfasts included and a kitchenette. This allowed us to make good savings on restaurants. The service was very good, we recommend it! We were able to book it with Marriott Bonvoy points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
