Less flexibility and you might miss out on hotel points. Still, if you love easy savings and don’t need a super-custom trip, it’s worth checking out! #Travel #CostcoTravel #TravelHacks00Share

Life moves at a slower, more intentional pace here, and it’s easy to see why residents are so protective of their land and culture. Would you trade convenience and nightlife for a chance to truly unplug and connect with a place like this? #Travel #Molokai #Hawaii00Share
