I don't think Alaska is for young kids. They won't enjoy it at all, you'll just be dragging them around
Can say the same thing for many places, no?
In the end of the day most kids would be more comfortable in their routine at home.

I hear. My kids will be stoked to go to Hawaii. Will there be times where we are dragging them around? Sure. But they will be thrilled to have a pool, go on a boat, go to the beach, etc.
If we went to Alaska or JNB, there are very few parts they would actually enjoy. And hence we are not going there
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Absolutely, but the road to Hana I'm sure they can do without.  That sidebar is awesome, but it will likely be solely for yours and your wife's benefit.  That's a lot of vomit inducing curvy driving for kids to handle.
But they'll be sure to remember that part ;)

Correct. And that's why we chose Hawaii, as it will satisfy both my needs and my kids. As opposed to JNB or Alaska which would be solely for me

Nice for a day or so, but mainly beaches and not much else.
I think he's only looking for a long weekend so should be ok to just get away and relax

Hmm. Quite a few places. How about near Quebec City?
