Hawaii - First time & Pregnant
My husband and I have never been to Hawaii and are planning a trip before our 1st child is born. I will be around 6 mo. pregnant when we go, so this will limit some of the heavy hiking and excursions that we can do. We are planning on a 4 night trip, so we do not want to island hop. We are looking for a relaxing vacation, restaurants, etc. We have been told to look into Maui, because the Road to Hanna is a day-trip that I can do pregnant.
Any suggestions of what Island we should go to? How does Maui sound?

I went to Hawaii when I was about 5 months pregnant and had a great time. We were on Maui for about 3 days and Oahu for 4 days. While we were on Maui, we did sightseeing, hiking, and snorkeling. On Oahu, we did a lot of sightseeing and a lot of beaching. I agree that any island can offer you a relaxing or an active vacation.
You should be over your morning sickness by then, but I still wouldn't recommend a drive along the Hana Highway, especially if you have ANY problems with motion sickness. I did this drive on a trip before I was pregnant and it was not fun for me.

With only 4 days I would pick either Maui or Oahu. There's plenty to see and do on either island that is not too strenuous. Especially on Oahu because in Honolulu there are all kinds of interesting things besides the beautiful outdoors (Iolani Palace, Bishop Museum, Pearl Marbor, etc.)
