Itineraries to Share - Hawaii

All of us have had some great vacations whether it was well planned in advance or it was pack and go and we will figure out the plan later!  Today, we want to share our Hawaii itinerary which was one of the best vacation we have had.  

With two young boys, we wanted to make sure they have great time enjoying the vacation rather than reaching their and then wondering what to do.  So the first thing we did was get some good books on Hawaii to start making plans.  One of the best book series we found is called "Unrevealed Maui", "Unrevealed Oahu", etc. covering each Hawaiian island.  The author of the book  lives in the islands and actually takes the tours and stays at places that he recommends.  After reviewing what we can do at each island, we decided to visit three islands - Maui, Kawaii, and Oahu.  Here is our itinerary:

Day 1 - Fly from Chicago to Maui, visit beach
Day 2 - Maui- Visit Halakela Mountain
Day 3 - Maui - Whale watching, parasailing, beach
Day 4 - Maui - Snorkeling @ Molokini
Day 5 - To Kawaii, beach
Day 6 - Kawaii - Helicopter ride
Day 7   To Honololulu, Oahu, Vetereans Memorial Museum
Day 8    Oahu - Dole maze, Polynesian Village
Day 9   Oahu - submarine Trip, visit Nuuanu Pali state park
Day 10  Return Home from Honolulu To Chicago
