Hawaii: Life's "Pause" Button

The Honeymoon Phase. It’s that time right after getting married when everything is perfect. You can’t quite shake that notion of blissful happiness as you show off your ring or share your honeymoon photos with friends and family. It’s that type of effervescent feeling that you think can’t possibly ever end! But, as more experienced couples know, sooner or later reality starts to creep in. Suddenly you feel like you aren’t spending enough time as a couple. Monday Night Football with the guys turns into Tuesday work meetings and Wednesday Yoga Night with the girls and Thursday dinner at your parents’ house…and by the time Friday roles around, you’re lucky if you have enough energy for a quick dinner and a movie! Have kids? Then you know there’s even less free time. When did soccer practice become more time consuming than a full-time job? Of course you’re still in love, but on top of life’s busy schedules, suddenly those little “adorable” quirks start to get on your nerves. You find yourself being told that you fold towels all wrong. Or, that empty milk carton in the fridge somehow “mysteriously” appears again. Either way, it’s normal for couples to feel like they aren’t spending enough time together, or to sometimes drive each other a little crazy (or a lot crazy!). It’s times like this that you wish there was a “pause” button for life, right?

Luckily for you, the geniuses at askabouttravel.com have the perfect “pause” button for you, and it happens to be just a quick plane ride across the Pacific Ocean. That’s right, Hawaii is calling your name. Before you roll your eyes and say “I can’t afford a Hawaiian vacation right now,” think again. It just so happens that askabouttravel.com not only has affordable deals, but our travel packages have everything you need to spend some amazing time with your special someone.

Take, for example, the beautiful Royal Kona Resort in Kailua-Kona. At $195 a night, you’ll be treated to the Royal Experience Package. With this, you’ll be able to start your days off right with complimentary breakfast, and end a night with a sunset dinner cruise for two! There’s nothing more romantic than watching a Hawaiian sunset on the water. Plus, you’ll get to attend a Luau for two, and start your entire trip off with a welcome bottle of champagne. Cheers to that.

If you and your spouse want a little more room, you might want to check out the Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort in Kapaa. Rates start at $245 a night and get you a roomy beachfront one bedroom condo. This package will really allow you to leave the stresses of reality behind with their fantasy swimming pool featuring romantic, cascading waterfalls. You both can unwind further in the luxurious Spa by the Sea. This beach resort allows you to reconnect with the one you love.

Another Outrigger property you simply can’t miss is their Outrigger Reef at the Beach. This paradise gives you fantastic views of the city of Honolulu for $199 a night. You’ll feel instantly immersed in the relaxed Hawaiian culture with this resort’s nightly performances from Hawaiian musicians. Dine beachfront at multiple restaurants and take in the warm breeze. And, if you are feeling as rejuvenated and happy as we’re sure you will be, they even have free Hawaiian vow renewal ceremonies.

Finally, if you’re able to sneak away for a whole week, there’s simply nothing better than our Seven Nights of Savings package at the Grand Wailea. If you pay for 4 nights, your 5th night is free. Enjoy a daily breakfast buffet and their championship golf course with both mountain and ocean views. Feeling cultural? The Grand Wailea has the largest international art collection in Hawaii. Plus, when it’s time to unwind, there’s nothing better than the full-service Spa Grande.

These are only a few of the many deals askabouttravel.com offers in Hawaii, the US, and around the globe. And while summer vacations with the whole family are wonderful, there is something to be said for a little one-on-one time with your special someone. With the endless to-do lists and worries of everyday life, that time becomes hard to find! But, all hope is not lost. On the contrary, we bet that the only thing you need to feel reconnected is a little change of scenery. Let us at askabouttravel.com help you plan your perfect little getaway, and make your Honeymoon Phase last a lifetime.
