So, the 20-day trip with our kids seems like a miracle, of course with help of a friend family living at the West of Oahu Island.

Visa USA – A not too rough step
If you plan to go to America, the first thing you need to do is to get a visa. Many people say that America visa is difficult to get, no-reason failure or unreasonable reasons. Before preparing all papers, I did read some pages of “how visa”, but it did not work for me. I still felt so confused. And then I decided not to read anymore and prepared carefully to meet the minimum requirements. The first requirement is to fill in the form DS-160, before that you need to take your own photo with the standard dimension of 5×5 pixel. You should take your photos at Trieu Tuan (174, Giang Vo Street), VND 50.000 for a shot with 4 printed photos. My experience when filling form DS-160 is honest, and you must remember these information, when being interviewed you should answer the same information on the paper. The interviewer asked questions about where do I go, how long do I stay, who I go with whom, and what do I do. That’s so simple, and the result depends on your luck. Once you got the visa, now comes the air tickers to USA. Air Ticket to USA You should book ASAP to get the cheapest ticket. Normally, to get to Hololulu (Hawaii, USA), you can choose: (1) Hanoi – Tokyo (Japan) – Hololulu; (2) Hanoi – Seoul (Korea) – Hololulu; (3) Hanoi – Taiwan – Hololulu. The price is about 1000$. But if you book earlier, you can just pay 700$. Tickets for babies under 2 years old are free and well served, but you still need to pay some extra fee (about 10% of adult tickets)
(Source: Internet) Basically, every airlines has a special priority for children and babies. You and your children will be boarding at a private entrance will not have to line up.
Normally, liquids are restricted when boarding. However, when you go with a baby, there are some exception. I can bring some mineral water, hot water bottle, canned soup, milk. In some airports, the securities will check your hand luggage carefully before you can bring it on the airplanes, it’s just the normal procedure. The Hawaii Islands became the 50th State of the USA on the 21st August, 1959 including a series of islands and 3300 kilometers long. The Hawaii is located 3700 kilometers to the West of the continent, 6500 kilometers to the East of Tokyo and 7300 kilometers to the North-East of Australia. To visit Hawaii from Vietnam, it is not a cheap trip. This island is the tourist paradise for the Australian and the America. The cost of living on the island is really expensive, the taxi, hotel and food fares are measured by hundreds of dollar. Even if you are a saving person, the cost will easily drive you crazy.
