Our latest Hawaii Vacation Connection has Aloha Bruce providing some developments in Hawaii vacation news and talking about Booking Hawaii Family Vacations. He also notes Hawaii’s superstar NFL quarterback Tua Tagavailoa leading the Miami Dolphins to victory over New England Patriots today, December 20 (Bruce is a huge fan, as are many Hawaii residents).

Bruce also promotes a new weekly video podcast called the Hawaii Vacation Podcast that he and Lanai Tabura are hosting that will debut on Wednesday in partnership with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and on the Hawaii Vacation Podcast website.

Bruce notes Hawaiian Airlines adding four (4) new Hawaii routes, beginning March 11. He discusses details of the flights to and from Orlando, Austin, Ontario, and a daily flight Maui-to-Long Beach, CA. Bruce also shares the news of the partial reopening of the iconic Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.

He also discusses the great news that Governor Ige has shortened the mandatory 14-day quarantine for visitors without a negative COVID-19 test to ten (10) days, which falls within CDC guidelines.

Bruce moves on to dive into Booking Hawaii Family Vacations. He talks about his suggestions for lodgings for large families. He discusses options for condominium-like hybrid properties such as the Embassy Suites, the Hyatt Place, and the Alohilani in Waikiki.

Our host says Maui has more options for hybrid properties than Oahu, and he makes a few suggestions for Booking Hawaii Family Vacations including the Honua Kai. He says that 3-bedroom accommodations are difficult to find and goes on to make suggestions for locations on Kauai and on Hawaii Island (the Big Island).

Bruce makes some important points about finding suitable accommodations for large family groups and reminds listeners to find the video Hawaii Vacation Podcast and to book a private tour with Secret Hawaii Tours.
