With the post-pandemic boom in travel to Hawaii, it's been a challenge for most travelers. Shortages of hotel space, rental cars and airline seats add to an already complex destination. And this is exactly why seasoned travel agent professionals exists to make your vacation planning as simple as a phone call, email, text or Zoom call. Or you can certainly meet in person with a consultant for a Hawaii travel planning session. Multi-island stays are best since many people will only get to experience the islands once in a lifetime. On the other hand, exploring all of one island can be very fulfilling. Getting to know one island intimately can create a sense of a home away from home.
