This review is from: Hawaii '99: The Complete Guide with Spectacular Drives, Beaches and Adventures Off the Beate n Path (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

This book helped make our trip to Oahu the most enjoyable vacation my family and I have taken recently. Great tips on what beaches to visit, the best time to get to the more popular spots. It was very easy to follow and just a wonderful book to have while traveling. It was worth every penny.

I will never vacation anywhere else without first purchasing a Fodor's Travel Book.

Thanks.
