Any ideas? Looking for a nice Hilton property in NYC in the area of nice fleishig restaurant, basically I am short one night to complete Hilton Diamond, so I figured I'll make a nice mini getaway.  Go out to eat in restaurant, sleepover nice nearby hotel, in the morning have breakfast in nice nearby milchig place and done. Just need someone to someone to fill in the blanks please..

Couples first trip without kids in 10+ years.

Thoughts on this (Too much?):

Sunday 1/27: MIA-DFW-OGG: Leave 5:45am land 3:44pm. Get car and Go to Warren & Annabelle's Magic! Then checkin to hotel (Likely Hyatt Regency).

Monday 1/28: Road to Hana

Tuesday: Sunrise Haleakala, afternoon blowhole, and snorkel.

Wednesday: leave 10:15am, land 11am. Checkin to hotel (Likely GHK), sunset on polihale beach.

Thursday: Waimea canyon, off roading, hiking, etc.

Friday: See waterfalls, get ready for shabbos

Shabbos: Hotel/relax

Sunday: Either 3pm or 11pm flight home. Helicopter of the island? Hike/snorkel.

They are looking for an adventure vacation, not a beach vacation...

I'm stressed just looking at that.  Can they just choose one island?  There is definitely enough adventure for a week on either Maui or Kauai.  If they want to see two islands, maybe Maui with day trip to Lanai or Kauai with day trip to Ni'ihau.

Mainly why it's not all that popular, is it just the weather?
And a little about the places/hotels etc...

Loads of tourists in Malta when I was there.
Many Israelis go to Malta.  You'd have to specify, what would you like to know.

what can you do with kids in LA that you can't do in Miami?

the only thing I can think of that you can't do in either place with kids is ski
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
