Elizabeth sits down with Virginia to talk about all things Kauai and Aulani from her recent visit with her family. Joining her for the Kauai portion of the trip were her husband, Pat, daughter Hope, and son, Dean, along with Elizabeth’s parents and her sister. The immediate family then continued on to Aulani (surprise for the kids) while the extended group chose to go to Waikiki to explore Pearl Harbor.

Our Z Roll - Our Z Roll's Aulani Playlist (Elizabeth said: Adorable family YouTubers-- they went to Kauai before their Aulani trip, too! They didn't give us that idea, but they were fun to watch before we left for our trip.) In addition to their playlist, they have an Aulani Pros and Cons video and an “Ultimate” Walkthrough of Aulani that are worth checking out.
