She was asking about the caves today. Lol !!!!</p> <p>You would be the fantasy planner. Thank you !!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-una-alaskagirl#post-1182007 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 01:26:34 +0000 JulieJohn 1182007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How awesome! Una, it sounds like you really helped out, and I bet it was fun for you, as a vicarious vacation.</p> <p>Isabel - have an incredible trip. I have never been to Hawaii but I have to tell you that Brady Bunch arc was what made me want to go super bad! So I understand your sister's obsession. Maybe you could make her a tiki idol necklace like the one Peter found, they have little wooden tikis at craft stores or party stores sometimes. And/or get her an inexpensive ukelele like Cindy had. Ok, I know I'm geeking out here, Brady style, but I just think those would be fun add-ons since she really digs those shows. Big hug to you, sweet lady. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-una-alaskagirl#post-1181390 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 04:38:29 +0000 rae 1181390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great story!

And you will have a less touristy but still exotic and relaxing time - a house is so much easier with kids because you don't have to eat out. And trust me, if Obama vacations there, it ain't too shabby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-una-alaskagirl#post-1180561 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 05:51:43 +0000 Jeanie 1180561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh, &nbsp;Isabel, glad your "Someday" is here &nbsp;Have a wonderful adventure. &nbsp;Una is awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-una-alaskagirl#post-1180401 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 02:45:26 +0000 Sona 1180401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isa: so happy to hear you all are able to go to Hawaii.

With taxes, service fees, parking&nbsp;and not being surrounded by high rises, we would have had to pay around $6,000 for a hotel ( that was the cheapest I could find, btw )&nbsp;!!!!! &nbsp;There is no way that we would have swung that.</p> <p>Instead, we are getting a house with great views, a washer /dryer, a full kitchen ( I have put in a request for another with a heated saltwater pool &nbsp;and on the water.....) &nbsp;for less than $2K. &nbsp;You made the trip possible. &nbsp;How do I even really thank you ? &nbsp;Seriously ?</p> <p></p> <p>Plus you did our itinerary so I can just enjoy instead of plan. &nbsp;LOL !</p> <p></p> <p>XXXXXXXXXXX</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-una-alaskagirl#post-1180064 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 20:47:49 +0000 deb 1180064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-una-alaskagirl#post-1179953 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:59:52 +0000 LACeleste 1179953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhhh--such a nice happy post Isabel! &nbsp;Una is always so generous with her knowledge.</p> <p>I hope you and your family have an amazing time!</p> <p>PS: I was born in Hawaii and am always happy when people see how beautiful it is!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-una-alaskagirl#post-1179930 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:35:52 +0000 Neel 1179930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a sweet post :).....

We are going to Hawaii as a family and Una has helped me plan and saved us a ton of money to boot.</p> <p> <div>Many of you know that I have a sister who has brain damage. Her mentality is about 8 1/2 years old. &nbsp;When we arrived in this country, she was 5, and fell in love with the Brady Bunch. &nbsp;Her favorite story arc was when the Brady Bunch&nbsp;visited Hawaii. And she adored&nbsp;Don Ho ( yes, she has his CDs )&nbsp;. &nbsp;I have been promising her all these years that some day I would take her. &nbsp;So here we are, "someday" has arrived. &nbsp;Of course, my husband and kids are going to join us.&nbsp; </p> <p>And thanks to Una, I am not flying blind. This is such a great community. &nbsp;Next up, Alaska to thank Una in person . &nbsp; &nbsp;: &nbsp;)&nbsp;</p> <p> </div></p>
