The exact dates I needed to get me back to Kauai in January opened up with AA, using the minimum FF miles (17,500 each way). Nothing else was open that entire month at that mileage level.

I love staying at Sealodge on the North Shore -- and it looked as if the only way to do it would be to change condos midway through the trip. But ... then I found one with the perfect view--and all my dates available!!

I'm a VERY happy camper as I count the days till I get to go "home" for 23 glorious days. I know the winter weather can be bad -- especially on the North Shore -- but last January, I had gorgeous weather.

But first ... Australia and New Zealand!

Thanks. I'm so addicted to Kauai that I can't wait to get back from OZ and NZ ... so I can go to paradise. Not that I don't like OZ and NZ ... but they ain't Kauai ;-)

Songdoc: Hurray for miracles! Enjoy! I almost picked Kauai for our 2012 anniversary trip to Hawaii just because you love it so much...but we chose the Big Island of Hawaii instead.

Great, songdoc. I know your feelings. We are about to go "home" to Kona for 3 weeks.

I've never been to Kauai but we are considering that for next year. Your post is very encouraging and it makes me want to go.

Congrats on your good fortune in getting what you need.
