Kauai is one of the most amazing places on the planet. Unless you hate nature, of course. Then it's a nightmare. If you're into commercialism, head to Oahu. Kauai has a Walmart and that's about it, as far as retail goes. but hiking, SUP, surf, snorkeling.... amazing. also a bunch of dive restaurants that are great. I recommend Lihue/Kapaa as a place to stay since it's easy to go north or south from there.
Oh, and as a heads up -- if you go, watch out for chickens. and bring some trash to throw on Zuckerberg's land.
I work in Portland and live in Beaverton. Portland is trash now and has gotten this way since late 2016. Very few parts of the city are immune from the rampant homelessness and drug use. The riots and protests grew and grew and grew since Trump was elected and now is a badge of honor. In the central business district, there's literally not a single space that doesnt smell like urine. Its an incredible shame. That waterfront when I first moved here in late 2009 was absolutely incredible and may family would spend lots of time down there. Since 2017, nope. I used to bike to work and ride along the esplanade on the east side and the waterfront on the west side...not anymore. I used to run around the waterfront on my lunch breaks, too...gave that up in 2018 as you couldnt go more than 100ft without smelling marijuana, booze, and urine. The young homeless people high on drugs or drunk regularly accost people. And, if youre unlucky enough to be passing through while the professional protesters are out, well, don't back down. The Max is horrible to ride and has been since 2017, too. Filled with homeless people, drunks, and drug addicts, smell like cat urine all the time, they're gross to ride and that's if you can get on one at rush hour in Beaverton or later in Goose Hollow. Im not sure why youre pretending that Portland is something beautiful. Its one claim right now is being weird and thats it. There's literally nothing redeeming about it unless you think professional rioting is a sport and progressive liberal politics is entertainment.

that's why Kauai is consistently so cheap. We're headed to Oahu (again) because Maui went ballastic in pricing earlier in year. Seems like everyone on West Coast is going to Hawaii this summer.

I spend a few weeks a year in Kauai and that Costco is a lifesaver. I try to support the local shops as much as possible but, selection is usually pretty limited. Costco has pretty much everything you could need.
Holly crap, what's up with all the comments about Portland? Let me guess, a bunch of people from Kentucky or Alabama that have never been here and think the city is on fire and overran by rioters and gangs. I wonder where they get their news from?
Anyway, this is a good deal, for an amazing destination. Too bad the dates don't work for me.
Seriously, the reports of our demise have been greatly exaggerated. There hasn't been any time during this whole thing that I haven't been completely comfortable taking my 8 year old downtown during the day. Sure, some stuff has been closed off and on, mostly a long time ago, but it's better than sticking your head in the sand and pretending nothing is happening in this country.

I don't get how this is a PDX only deal as there are no direct flights to Hawaii from PDX. All of the other connecting airports should be "the deal".
Actually there are lots of Deals out of PDX to say Seattle or California. As guess have space on Those legs . Have got a few similar good deals over the years
