How to Find the Lowest Airfare - SmarterTravel.com

Ok I found this article a little irritating.  The author is attempting to question why a non-stop flight costs more than a connecting flight, but the only thing I found useful was the author's comment 'You've got to do your homework—lots of it—or get a good travel agent."  Why would anybody want to do "lots of homework" searching for good airfare when your travel agent can do this for you?  


Travel Agents and Travel Specialists have access to other booking sites and suppliers that the general public do not and we can do the work at no hassle to you (and probably even find a better deal than what you find online ~ especially on International air tickets)! :D  Isn't that better than stressing yourself out needlessly, only to wonder if you really found the best option?

Merrie Monarch Festival in Hawaii April 4-10



The Merrie Monarch and His Festival of Hula


Ask someone what comes to mind when they think of Hawaii and odds are they will mention hula. Originally a society with no written language, the Hawaiians used hula with its dance, chants and songs as a primary means by which to communicate and teach legends, stories of war and of love. The hula paid homage to their gods through whom everything is connected. It was for this very fact though that hula almost disappeared when missionaries banned it due to the thought that the hula was sacrilegious. It was King David Kalakaua also known as the "Merrie Monarch" for his love of entertainment that revived hula and opened the once male-only dance to women in 1883 at his coronation ceremony.

Today, hula and the "Merrie Monarch" are honored in the world’s most prestigious hula competition, the Merrie Monarch Festival held once yearly in Hilo, Hawaii. 2010 marks the 47th year of the festival and the week of April 4 - 10 will be filled with events culminating with the 3-day competition from Thursday, April 8 with halau (groups) participating from around the world.

While the Merrie Monarch Festival is by far the most recognized hula competition in the world, there are other numerous hula events, concerts and workshops that take place throughout Hawaii on all islands year-round. Why not attend one of these events the next time you visit Hawaii?
