My girlfriend and I are talking about honeymoon options for next summer. (I haven't proposed yet but will be pretty soon). We have thought about booking Aulani but here is the hesitation. The most we can go for is a week as I'm divorced and I have 50% custody of my kids. So they are with their mother a week and she would never work with me to keep them a couple of extra days, especially when she finds out I'm married again. (For the record, I didn't cheat on her or anything, she's just that much of an angry person).
I have heard a week is not enough time to get the most out of Aulani because you lose a day on each end of the trip for travel. (We are coming from MA.). Essentially we would up with 5 days there and be jet lagged for at least one.
We have thrown about some other ideas, like a 4 day cruise and then a couple of days at WDW, a trip from San Francisco down to LA seeing the sights and ending at DL for a couple of days. Or even an all inclusive type resort on one of the islands in the Carribean. I haven't priced any out yet to see if any or significantly cheaper than another. But now that you know what the options are, assuming everything is priced the same, can anyone make a case for, or against, Aulani given these factors?
