Hawaii vacations
Hawaii is part of the United States, so you won’t get a real cool stamp in your passport.
Hawaii’s prices are very inflated.
Meals and beverages are usually not included in Hawaii resorts’ nightly rates.
Most of the upscale Hawaii resorts are large which lack in privacy. The Hawaiian beaches are crowded and tourist traps are everywhere. Fiji is like Hawaii was 70 years ago. Hawaii has grown into a metropolis with high rise accommodations and over populated beaches, traffic jams and air pollution. Even the outer islands have “tourist traps” coaxing you to man made attractions. Fiji relies on its natural beauty and friendly natives to entice travelers to stop and discover what a South Pacific island used to be like.

Fiji is an independent country. Everyone speaks English.
The US dollar is strong. Shopping prices are very comparable to the rates in the US. You can find some great bargains.
Meals are usually included in the nightly rate.
Five-star Fiji resorts include many activities as well as food, soft drinks and most include alcohol.
Fijian people are the friendliest people. They are curious about you and try to get to know you better. They want to share their culture with you.
