Hi, We are finally going to go to Hawaii for our anniversary. We meant to go last year for our 10th anniversary, but a year late is better than never. I seem to recall someone mentioning it was cheaper to fly out of someplace in California, possibly San Deiago(sp?). I was wondering if anybody remembers where exactly we should fly to and spend the night, before flying to Hawaii? We will probably start the journey out of Boston's airport. Our ultimate desination is Kauai.
When we went to Kauai a few years ago, we flew up to San Francisco first, then from there to Hawaii - it worked out much cheaper... I am not sure why, or if it would still be the same, but it sure worked then!
Have fun and make sure you walk onto the lava flow - it is amazing!!!!!!
I don't remember there being a flight from Sand Diego to Hawaii. You can fly from LA or from one of the San Francisco airport. I *think* there are flights from Seattle also but am just not sure. We have always flown out of LAX when we went. Have you checked

for a flight, etc.? I just looked and they are having a 2 for 2 sale of some sort. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these people (NAYY). We have made at least 8 trips to Hawaii booked through them and they *always* have great deals on airfare, hotels, rental car, etc. I'm not sure but they *might* be able to help with a room near the airport in California, too -- it's worth asking. We have been to Kauai about a dozen times now and it is wonderful. You used to be able to book a flight direct from LAX to Kauai -- no stops anywhere and it's much nicer than having to fly to Honolulu and then changing planes. I'm not sure if there are any direct flights to Kauai anymore but you could check that out.

Alaska Airlines flies directly from Seattle to Lihue, Kauai. (Can't remember where you are Margaret)
Kauai is gorgeous - it's not called The Garden Isle for nothing - but it's a lot quieter than Maui or Oahu.
Check out Kapaia Stitchery on the road between Lihue and Kapa'a. Despite the name they have far more fabric than stitchery items but they do carry some Hawaiian kits and canvases.
Enjoy!
Eimear PS someone mentioned lava fields. Kauai's volcanoes are dormant and there are no lava fields there.
