Summer's here! For a lot of us, this is the season to relax, travel, and explore other parts of the world. And, perhaps, take a vacation in Hawaii. After all, it's still part of the US, yet feels closer to Tahiti or another Polynesian island. Frequent readers of this column know that Luxury Travel has a great affinity for the Hawaiian islands. And, what with the falling dollar, it's strangely a more affordable luxury vacation destination than are the traditionally popular countries of Western Europe.

To make up for the egregious air fare that stymies so many potential North American visitors to Hawaii, the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB) has put together a collection of discount vacation packages and deals. The "Summer Fun" website organizes the vacation packages with various air and hotel travel partnerships.
