Summary: Where Are The Updates
Comment: I found Hawaii For Dummies very informative. I purchased the 1st edition in November in order to start planning our trip to Maui in June. One of the reasons I purchased this book (in addition to "Frommer's Maui") was because the cover of the book states "Updates at dummies.com". So, I figure this meant that up to date information would be provided on that website (as far as Hotel recommendations, restaurants, activities..etc..). Well, after reading the book and making many notes, I went to the website and perused the ENTIRE site..went to the travel section...located the book but could not find any reference to any "updates". All that was there was information on ordering books. So, I wrote 2 emails to them asking about the "updates" and have not received one word in response. So, has anyone out there actually been successful in getting updates or does this simply mean that we have the opportunity to purchase the 2nd and 3rd editions of Hawaii for Dummies online at dummies.com? The book is worth purchasing...but better if you can get it on sale...and forget any updates.

Summary: My Maui/Hawaii Trip
Comment: This is an AWESOME book. We used it extensively during our week in Maui. Great recommendations for tour guides, trip excursion companies, etc. I usually just use AAA guide books with good success and happened to see this book a couple of days before leaving for Hawaii with our family. It made our trip so much better and was right on mark!. Highly recommended! Only after I returned did I learn that there was an edition on Maui itself, which I did not use (obviously). Never knew the Dummies series included books on specific travel places like this.

Summary: Too many inconsistancies
Comment: I have bought several guides to Hawaii and I find this one the worse. Not only does it pilfer much of the information from Frommer's Hawaii, but it has so many inconsistancies you really don't know which path to follow eg. The Bus fare is shown on some pages as $1 and other $1.50, but in fact The Bus fare is now $2. This was suppose to be the 2003 version, but much of the information was out of date, speaking about the Pleasant Hula Show (formally Kodak Hula Show) which is no longer is existance. If you want to travel on a tight budget, don't look for accommodation in this book, you won't find any.
Save your money and buy Lonely Planet Guides as they have more details, are more current and cater to people on different budgets.
