[quote=Anonymous]I love, love Hawaii.  My kids have been twice, but it was because family members from the West Coast were going for a family occasion and I really wanted to join them.

I'll be honest -- it was pretty rough with little ones.  The first time was no so bad because I only had one, and she was 2, so she slept at weird times anyway.  The second time I had 3 kids and the older ones were no longer napping.  Everyone work up at 2 a.m. for the first several days and WOULD NOT GO BACK TO SLEEP.  There is not a ton to do at 2 a.m. in the morning.  By 8, when normal people were waking up, my kids were pissy and irritable and stayed that way pretty much all day.  They'd fall asleep in the afternoon, but then I'd be desperately trying to rouse them after a couple hours, so that they didn't just sleep through until midnight and wake up then.

We stayed 10 days so we did get past the worst of it, but I am still kind of traumatized by those first couple days, which were really awful and exhausting, with a lot of fighting and yelling among everyone.

We've done a lot of the same things that we could do in Hawaii in the Carribbean, Costa Rica, and Mexico.  I'll be back to Hawaii again, I hope, but not until my kids are teenagers that hate to get up early.  (If a teenager normally sleeps until noon, then they'd be getting up a 6 in Hawaii, right?).
