I have a question i'm hoping some one can answer or direct me in the right way. My Dh wants me to fly out to Hawaii when the ship pulls in.....I've never met DH any where but at homecoming. So Does anyone have any web sites that would help me out with booking a some what cheap flight and hotel???
Of course i have time,being he just left a couple weeks ago on deployment.
But I was told the sooner i get every thing booked the better. Thank ladies .

Any of the discount sites would be good, I would think. Priceline, Hotwire, places like that. From what I've looked into, it's quite pricey whether you go straight through an airline or through a discount site.
There is Space A through the military, but it is an availability basis only, so if there are a lot of guys leaving out of HI to come home and there isn't room on a flight for you, you have to wait or go through another airline. From what I understand. Here is more Space A info: http://www.military.com/Travel/Content1/0,,SAF_overview,00.html.

Hope that helped a little! I am sure you'll get some more responses with better explanations, there are so many knowledgeable ladies here!!

oooh! are you going to do the tiger cruise?

tiger cruise is not for spouses or gf/bf. But she is probably going to meet the ship when it pulls in to pick up spouses.
Check with cheap tickets.com or southwest. Can you get a 21 day advance ticket ( or longer) it is true if you do it now it will be MUCH cheaper then if you wait till it gets closer especially to Hawaii.

a friend of mine did it with her DH when he was on MEU, just recently, like a couple months ago.

it was probably a family cruise, tiger cruise specifically is for friends and family young kids/parents cousins what have you of the MM.

The Hale Koa is the military hotel right on Waikiki beach its really quite nice.
