We are headed to Hawaii for 2 weeks with the babe. The first week we are staying with friends in a big place with a washer/dryer full kitchen etc. The second week we are staying in a regular hotel room.

We have a city mini GT which I love, but I am debating bringing it. I think it would be so easy to get a stroller her infant seat clicks on to but I think she would hate it- and it would be really hot. So should we get an umbrella stroller or will it be ok to gate check our big stroller if we bring a bag? Side note: why would we want an umbrella stroller in general? Any recommendations?

I was thinking about getting one of these http://www.amazon.com/kilofly-Original-Instant-Portable-Travel/dp/B00C9SI7JW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1443705150&sr=8-4&keywords=baby+beach+tent but now that she's mobile I doubt it would go well. She is more likely to nap on one of us.

I'm sure there is a ton I could search on this topic, which I will do later, but my biggest question was specific to the stroller. That said, any other words of wisdom/advice on traveling with a baby to a tropical location?
