마카푸우 포인트 등대 트레일
Makapu'u Lighthouse. 좋아요, 마카푸우 포인트 등대 트레일이 어떻게 우리가 가장 좋아하는 트레일 중 하나가 되었는지에 대한 재밌는 이야기를 들려드리겠습니다. 우리는 하와이로 이사(돌아온)한 직후, 섬 곳곳에서 음식을 먹거나 해변에 가는 것 외에 할 일을 찾고 있었습니다. 하이킹을 가고 싶었지만 "아이들과 할만한 하이킹"이 무엇인지 전혀 몰랐기 때문에 부모라면 누구나 할 법한 일을 했습니다. 구글에서 검색했죠. ㅋㅋ. 검색을 하다가 Makapu'u Point...
오아후 vs 마우이 – 여행은 어느 섬으로 선택해야 할까?
하와이 섬들은 8개의 큰 섬으로 구성되어 있지요. 이 중 6개의 섬들이 관광객들이 자주 방문하는 섬들이예요. 오아후, 카우아이, 마우이, 몰로카이, 라나이, 하와이 섬(빅 아일랜드). 하와이 여행을 계획할 때 가장 먼저 해야 할 중요한 결정 중의 하나는 어느 섬(들)을 방문할지 결정하는 것이예요. 제 생각에 각 섬마다 독특한 성격이 있고 고유한 경험을 제공하기에 어느 섬을 선택하든 잘못된 선택이란건 없어요. Deciding Oahu vs Maui 가장 많이...

하와이에 여행하기 최악인 때
하와이를 경험하신 분들은 공감할거예요. 정말 낙원이 따로 없거든요. 아름다운 해변으로 둘러싸여 있고 관광객들도 일년 내내 많아서 할거리들이 계절을 타지않고 언제나 있죠. 하지만, 그 이면에는 너무나 많은 방문객들이 있다보니까 '이때는 하와이에 가지마'라고 할만한 때도 있어요. 어린이날 놀이동산/테마파크에 가면 정말 정신 없어서 즐기지를 못하잖아요? 그렇듯이 가능하면 좀 피하는게 좋은 달들이 있죠. 덜 붐비는걸 원하던지, 아니면 가성비가 더 좋은 여행이 되었으면 한다던지,...
