Hotels done - or most of them

After we had our flights booked we knew we had to get cracking on the hotels. We decided to do a mix of hotels and condos for a) variety and b) cost efficiency. So since we have Marriott rewards we looked into Marriotts first.

Our first stop is in San Francisco and we wanted to have a luxury few nights on the honeymoon and decided to do it here since it would be cheaper than Hawaii (everything is just more expensive there). So we booked the JW Marriott in San Fran and its located right in the heart of downtown and we probably won't need a car. Isn't it purty? We have a city-view room.



Then we move on to Kauai and here Marriott was having a Rewards-member special and we got a great rate for the Marriott Resort in Lihue. So that was booked. And I will tell you, I had the most pleasant experience with the reservations person. She made sure to make a note that it was our honeymoon (something that may help in San Fran but most people in Hawaii will be honeymooners from the messages on the Knot) and then gave me some life advice for being married.
