Was just about to book tickets from big island and then saw that maui-ORD opened up on the day I wanted. However after talking it over with wifey, she says that we have many other places to go before we go to hawaii again. So we are doing the two islands that we want to see the most, not the two islands that fit the schedule best. Meaning we both seem the most into Kauai and big island so I guess that is what we are going to do.
