Hawaii recently took the top spot in a ranking of the happiest states in the US to live in — and it's also long been a favorite vacation spot for my family.
We've spent time on Maui, Lanai, and Kawaii, but the Big Island is my personal favorite. In my experience, the Kona coast has wonderful weather, great beaches, and a lot of diverse marine life to observe.
On my most recent trip, I stayed at Kona Village. The property closed in 2011 after facing severe tsunami damage and reopened last year as Rosewood Hotel Group's first property in Hawaii.
I'm a longtime fan of Rosewood hotels and resorts, so I was excited to visit this location for the first time. My travel agent booked my mom and me the best available rate at the resort, which included one free night and an upgrade to an ocean-view room.
This was absolutely a splurge: We paid $1,765 per night, which included credits for breakfast each day and tax.

The famed Road to Hana on Hawai’i’s Maui island starts in Kahului, near the airport. It traverses 63 miles and a seemingly endless stretch of one-lane bridges and switchbacks — taking you past some of the planet’s loveliest waterfalls and hiking trails. It’s a drive that embodies the journey-is-the-destination mindset. So why not keep the journey going a little longer by breaking it up with some overnight stays? Add in some beachside camping and waterfall hiking without having to skimp your time in the destination itself.
My dad is from a small town in Massachusetts and has never been much for travel, but his eyes lit up like a child’s when I told him I was headed to Stuttgart, the capital of the German state of Baden-Württemberg in the Swabian region of southwestern Germany. A lifelong car buff, pop knew Stuttgart as the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Driving me to the airport, he gushed about the legendary car museums in his coarse Boston accent: “Christalmighty, Johnny Boy, you’ll see the most gawgeous Muhcedes and Pawsches evah made!” I could only imagine otherwise-polite Germans shuddering at his pronunciation of their cherished automobile brands (but I kept that to myself).
