Oh... and forgot about the occupancy tax increase Don't they want to stimulate tourism to Hawaii. I swear- if it wasn't so hot there I'd just bring a tent!
Reason #2000 for a MR run to ANC
I see billboards by the Hawaii Tourism Board all over when I drive into Long Beach...they must be really desperate to need to advertise in socal!
I snagged a nice Cash and Points rate for half my stay so the occupancy tax increase isn't hitting me TOO hard but now they're at 14% tax ai; just like at the hotels at home
