‘Moon-Seekers’ Head to Hawaii

We have full moons, harvest moons, blood moons and blue moons, however, your favorite moon might best be found—not in the sky–but in a tropical, ocean-front destination. For this kind of moon-seeker, Marriott’s prestigious Hawaii Resort Collection has rolled out a half dozen “moon” packages sure to elate any moonchild.  Hawaii-goers can choose their ultimate moon escape for any special “moon” occasion, from the traditional honeymoon or baby-moon to even a milestone-moon (we all have one of those to celebrate!). But, have you thought about celebrating an Early-Moon or a Buddy-Moon? Why not!
