re: Would 4 days be too short for a Hawaii trip?

Hawaii is a 5 hour direct flight from Phoenix and even I would want more than 4 days.


I was there 6 and felt like I should have stayed there at least a few more days. I would say 6 is the bare minimum. Too much to do and see to only have 2.5 actual days there to do stuff.

Ok...3 full days where you aren't dealing with checking in/checking out...traveling, etc.


Still not enough time. Why spend all the money (and all the time the flights will take)on flights to Hawaii for only 3 full days?


I mean, you can do what you want....but 3 days would just be a cruel tease imo.

I'm with you...don't think I've ever done less than eleven days.

Whatever you do decide.....enjoy Hawaii


I wanna go back so bad...,one day.

You should try it. It's pretty awesome.

Unfortunately our work schedules don't allow for that to occur.

If I only had 4 days, I would go to Mexico or something.

Done this before and Caribbean, but both are off the table with a pregnant wife and the Zika threat. Yes, I know the threat is small and could even occur here, but there's no use in chancing it with plenty of other options of places to go.

This. My first night I was wide awake at 2AM, because it was 7AM back home. I went out and walked around the resort for a while.

Yeah, the sunrises and awesome resort breakfast was nice. We were there before anyone else and always grabbed the best outdoor table.


Another cool thing was watching NBA playoff games at lunch. Not every day, but a couple of times we went back up to the room to change for whatever we were doing that afternoon and I flipped a Spurs game on.

Also, since our anniversary is in May, the Sunday we flew out happened to be Mother's Day. I called my mom from the Honolulu airport when we landed. It was mid-afternoon there, and they were sitting down to dinner. Dad asked why I didn't call sooner, and I told him I'd been in an airplane the last 8.5 hours. Apparently he had totally forgot about the time difference.

Wha?? I feel this is grossly inaccurate

Hawaiian Airlines has direct flights to Honululu from Phoenix that I've flown on. One way was a lil over 5 hours, one way was a lil over 6 hours. Can't remember if the shorter time was going there or coming back. Difference in times due to trade winds.
