Frugal Hawaii vacation?
wrote in message
... We did a frugal Oahu trip in 1999 from Fl with great success. Got a package from Pleasant Hawaiin Holidays that included car, hotel, and airfare from San Francisco for 7 nights in July for about $450pp. We stayed at the Aston Island Colony Hotel about 4 blocks from the beach, but, on the canal. Had great views of Diamond Head, city, canal, and the beach. Rooftop pool, laundry, restaurant (didn't use though). Room was had an efficiency kitchenette with a fridge, stove top, microwave, bath, bedroom, and balcony. We could walk to everything easily and had younger kids along. There are a lot of fast food and cheap food in Waikki and lots of inexpensive things to do (along with some expensive things if you are so inclined). We really did not need the car as there was good bus service. We purchased our own air to San Francisco for $150 pp and enjoyed a week there prior to leaving on our Hawaiian Package just because we had the time. Reseach Oahu and Waikii and be informed of all the free and/or cheap activities such as the weekly Kodak Hula show, free entertainment in the Marketplace, hiking Diamond Head, swimming, Pearl Harbor, etc. With some research you can pull this trip off very nicely for under $2000. If you do stay in Waikiki and have cooking facilities, DO NOT buy groceries from the Food Pantry (one is on Kuhio avenue and the other over by the Hale Kalani, I think) as their prices are about double the supermarkets outside Waikiki. The Bus goes past Safeway on Beretania where the prices are more reasonable, especially if you have a Safeway card.

Marianne Well we would like to..... but I just don't know if the budget will allow it Will "think" on it tho You can get outside the Honolulu-Waikiki area by taking the circle island bus which takes you to the North Shore where and windward sides of the island for only $2.00 per person. You can visit beaches like the one at Waimea Bay or wander around in old Haleiwa town. You are invited to visit my Oahu webpage where you can click on "The Bus" link to see all the places the city bus travels and learn about bus passes at: ~ http://keith.martin.home.att.net/vOahu.html - KM -- (-:alohacyberian:-) At my website there are 3000 live cameras or visit NASA, play games, read jokes, send greeting cards & connect to CNN news, NBA, the White House, Academy Awards or learn all about Hawaii, Israel and mo http://keith.martin.home.att.net/ |

Apparently some of the links are not working, most, though are. I will make corrections as soon as time permits and thank you very much for the tip!
