Hi Chris, <<< Gary, am not a Costco member but would rejoin. Does this package have a particular designation to insure it would be the same as yours? Chris >>> Yes, Chris, it is the "Aston at Poipu Kai" package on Hawaii's Kauai Island. The 6 day, 5 night package for two travelers includes round trip airfare from Seattle (nonstop both ways) on Delta Airlines, accommodation in the newer 2-BR condos very close to the beach (with a large open patio area for DXing), a full-sized rental car and a $50 Costco cash card for the total price of $2,396.27. Some details on the package are pasted below, including our flight from Seattle to Lihuie, Kauai. Hope that you can join us!
