thank you.
Checking Expedia, there are no non-stops/direct flights from MCO or MIA to Hawaii. The closest would probably be Delta in ATL or DEN on United. Probably DFW too… We fly to LAX or SFO and spend the few hours in the airport. When we lived in Denver, having the direct flights to Maui or HNL and I think at times Kauai was great, about 7 hours.

I used to do work there and now that and have been to the islands way more times than I can count… today, prices for food are thru the roof. Last time a year or so ago, 1 pancake on Maui was $24… don’t want to even talk about greens fees. Funny, last time we were there, during a short rainfall, I was talking to the housekeeping folks under a roof, they asked where we were from, I said Florida… first thing out of their mouths, “why are you here???, don’t you have palm trees and great beaches and way more golf courses???”
