The Hawaii Travel Podcast Show 30 for Tuesday July 23rd 2013.  On this week’s show we’ll talk about where to cool off on the Big Island, we’ll explore your shipping and shopping options while visiting Hawaii, and we’ll talk about things to do with kids on Kauai.  All that and more on this episode of The  Hawaii Travel Podcast.

SHIPPING FROM HAWAII

Agnes emailed us and asked the following:

My husband and and 2 girl friends are visiting Hawaii. As we are arriving on Thanksgiving eve, we are prepared for some serious Black Friday shopping. The thing is, we do not want to lug our shopping through subsequent jaunts to Maui and Big Island. Appreciate your advice! Thanks.

When shopping on Oahu, make sure to visit the swap meets.  This is where many of the stores in Waikiki shop.  Visit the swap meet and get great deals direct from the suppliers.

One place we recommend is the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet & Marketplace.

We feel the best option for shipping packages is via the United States Postal Service.  They are everywhere and surprisingly reasonable.  The only potential downside is the length of time it takes to get mail from Hawaii to the main land.

KAUAI WITH KIDS

Our second email came from the absolute best grandma in the world, Lori, she wrote…

Hi guys!
I am really enjoying your podcasts….especially the tidbits of Hawaiian history. I haven’t been to Kauai for 40 years, and in July I will be traveling there with my 5 year old granddaughter. Are there any “must-see’s” that I don’t want her to miss? I would really appreciate your input and look forward to future editions of your podcast.
Thanks so much…
Lori from Grants Pass, Oregon

Tips About Traveling To Kauai And What To Explore At Volcanoes National Park And More Are Featured In This Episode Of The Hawaii Travel Podcast.

KAUAI TRAVELING TIPS

Our first question came in from a listener via voicemail. He is planning a trip to Kauai and is looking for some advice:

Hey guys, great show.  My wife and I are planning on heading to Hawaii soon.  We’re thinking of heading to Kauai.  We wanted to know if you had any suggestions as to where to stay in Kauai and what sort of activities would be perfect for us.  We would like to walk and travel around Kauai, and kind of keep the activity on the light side.  I am an avid scuba diver and snorkeler.  Any suggestions would be great, and we look forward to the next show.

Kauai has four sections:

SOUTH SHORE REGION

Poipu is the place to visit and/or stay on the south side of the island.  It is dry and sunny and has beautiful beaches.

Places of interest in the southern region of Kauai:

Poipu Beach Park Beach Park
Poipu Beach Park Beach Park is a beautifully spectacular beach.  You would be hard pressed to find a better beach for snorkeling since it is usually always calm. Continue reading “Volcanoes National Park and Kauai Traveling Tips : Show 14” »
