M is for Money

It seems like the only wedding planning I’m getting done right now is honeymoon planning. After hearing many opinions and doing some more research of my own, I too am leaning towards Kauai for our second honeymoon stop. I happen to like both nature and night life, but I think a few days in Waikiki will satisfy my need for the bright lights. But this leads me to the next decision, where to stay on Kauai? It turns out we have more choices than I thought.

There are actually three Starwood hotels on the island, although the St Regis is most definitely out of our price range! That leaves two hotels to chose from, the Sheraton on the south side of the island and a Westin on the north side. The Westin is a higher category hotel, meaning it will require more points for our stay. But it has one advantage, all of the accommodations include kitchens. That means we could prepare meals and not have to eat out every day. As a vegetarian, dining out every day can be a drag and often restaurants will have absolutely nothing I can eat. On the other hand, do I really want to spend my honeymoon cooking and cleaning! If this were any other trip I’d definitely go for the option with the kitchen, it’s healthier and cheaper. But I want to be pampered and lazy this time around, so I’m leaning towards the traditional hotel. Any opinions?
