first time Hawaii

I could use some help. I am travelling to Hawaii on business this Friday, June 15th. I will be visiting four of the islands: Oahu-first four nights, Kauai-fifth night, Maui-sixth night and the Big Island-last three nights for total of nine nights. I am working but will have the first two days and the last three days off and a lot of free time in between. This is last minute and I am struggling to plan out activities and where to stay. I would prefer a condo or flat with my own kitchen and under $100/night. I should say as far as activities go, I%26#39;m pretty mellow, maybe some hiking and snorkeling, but I do love to take pictures.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Do you have to visit four islands for business reasons? If not, I%26#39;d plan to spend less time in airports and visit only two islands. A hop can swallow up half a day what with security procedures, dropping off and renting cars, checking in and out of lodgings. It%26#39;s going to be hard to find a condo that doesn%26#39;t require at least a 3-4 night stay.

For sure, skip Big Island if you don%26#39;t have business there. Save it for a visit where you have at least a week; it%26#39;s HUGE.

Since we were on a cruise on our last trip to Hawaii we had to organize our time in port. Check our GoList.

Aloha,

FUN trip! I know the Big Island best and would suggest you look at

for a condo, you have 3 nights there, which makes the minimum stay most condos have. Ask them for a last minute special, sometimes if a unit is open they will give you a good deal!
