Isnt Lihue on Kauai? Been there but I dont know about ticket prices. Keep your dates flexible for the best prices. Also over holidays suck as Christmas and suck prices tend to drop (Ex if you travel on Christmas day and returned on New Years day) youd get a damn good price.
Time off is all good but the present thing is out of hand. Christmas has no meaning but presents anymore, and thats not at all even its lost its religion. Family time is what christmas should be all about.
I was looking Tomtom vs Garmin and found that the Tomtom has a dock to connect it to the computer vs the Garmin didn't come with anything to connect it to the computer and update it.
