And driving around Kauai in this rental car was FUN. But not fun: Hawaii is currently experiencing a rental car shortage. And if you haven’t booked a car for an upcoming trip, you are probably a little stressed. While we can’t fix the shortage, we did put together a list of 11 tips to help you find a car (or get by without one). Link in profile!  #carmaggedon #maui #oahu #hawaiivacation

Full video up on our channel for our Waikiki kids day. If you’re traveling with kids to Waikiki, this should give you some good ideas for things to do.
