In the middle of the cold wet Portland winters, when I'm shivering uncontrollably, all I can think about is taking a Hawaii vacation. Some of the best winter escapes happen to be in Hawaii. Oh, there's nothing better than leaving behind the damp cold Portland winter days and nights for an exotic warm beach just hours away. During the cold winter months, Hawaii beach vacations aren't always easy to find. The west coast isn't always as warm as I like but Hawaii certainly is. Hawaii offers the most spectacular winter and beach fun in the sun vacations you could ever imagine. If you are concerned about the cots of taking the family with you should talk to Portland expert John Clarno at PDX-To-Hawaii.  He has years of experience and all the local connections to get the Islands local Island prices. This includes low airfares, hotels, car rentals, entertainment and shows.  Your Hawaii vacations may include golfing, Island tours, whale-watching, Luaus and more.

Hawaii has a rainy season November to March. In recent years, however, even the rainy season has been very dry. The Islands best weather is often found in around spring April, May, then in the fall September and October.  The summer can be hot and with the kids out of school, the beaches can be a bit crowded.

Have you ever awaken to the smell of fresh brewing Kona coffee in the morning? These is a Hawaiian blend of coffee grown in Hawaii and for me there’s no better way to wake up in the morning than a walk on the beach and my morning coffee brew.

The last week in April and first week in May are very busy in Waikiki on Oahu. This is the peak visitor season due to the Japanese "Golden Week" holidays. Unless you plan to attend the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival, you should avoid the Hilo of the Big Island just after Easter. The Ironman Triathlon takes place in October and makes the Kona area of the Big Island also quite busy.

Winter is the time for the big surf in Hawaii. There are many exciting events throughout the year in Hawaii.
