Is There Any/Much Change In Hawaiian Hotel & Restaurant Prices?
I was conversing today about Hawaii, where I have never visited, nor
for that matter Alaska. The person goes there on work assignments, and encourages us see the unique State. Happily we could go there on Sky Miles, while the reputed tres cher hotel/motel prices etal are sorta currently inhibiting us. We hear prices are falling somewhat in European hotels because the one- third or more depreciated dollar spenders are resisting & reluctant to book London, Paris etal. Has anybody here stayed recently in Hawaii, and has it become substantively cheaper for tourists as, for instance, Las Vegas etal is recently reported/rumored to have become? My perception had been at least $100-$200 per night for average accomodations on Maui. I'd like to book something decent for two people at under $100 per night for a week or five days, and I am doubting that such exists that's not a bag of fleas and bedbugs. Here's the way I'm anticipating the trip expenditures would be: RT skymiles, we could go almost any date delta has open car rental perhaps $35--$75 per diem plus fuel. room (as discussed above) meals: $100 for two people per day for fast feed, unless we occasionally splurge for classier fare souvenir-chotskies: genuine plastic imitation pineapple and volcano things made in the Orient, $5 and up. Rubbernecker Tour: Don Ho gravesite, volcano, Pearl Harbor: about $50-- $100 each for a tiring spectacular day of guided site-seeing Lays: terrific tasty baked potato chippy necklaces.....nevermind, I couldn't resist it |

The places you want to see are not all on Maui. So you need to plan on interisland flights as well (although SuperFerry goes from Honolulu to Maui once a day). Pearl Harbor is on Oahu (as are Honolulu and Waikiki), the active volcanos are on the island of Hawaii. You might want to consider flying into Honolulu and then to Maui and Kona or Hilo, then back from Kona to the mainland. As for hotels, there can be some "deals" but you need to look for them. Maybe also consider a cruise. Jeff |

Jeff- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks for your time & knowledge A cruise, what an idea, do a couple of days cruise after landing at honululu (?) that way one could avoid the hotels and restaurants, and if the ship is big enough and the winds are calm, i won't get too sick either--- can this be done--i bet not--but seems like a great package deal a la carnival on the east coast usa could get a cruise from calif coast too, which will look into again, thanks for the suggestion and those neat art auctions, loose slot machines, and huge swim pools ...not |

I bet it's a Panama or Liberian registration etal, so as to get around the more stringent & taxing U.S. of course I told my wife the idea, and now she says, okay, then let's see calif for 2 days too She knows that in 1962, been ther/done that, I graduated high shool, and saw the Seattle world fair, and drove from the north down thru calif to the mexico border (too young to be admitted to mexico, surely just as well) Big brother calif govt saved my friend and i from Tijauna, thanks governor sinclair (not really who was gov in '62, pat brown ?) We did get into Mexico from San Luis in Ariz, near yuma, and then chickened out when we saw how rough and poor that place was sorry if this remark is deemed offensive so, we, say, drive from l.a. airport to san diego, where my wfe's uncle has lived since ww II, and leave bon voyqge to hawaii, but i bet no cruise ship goes from san diego to hawaii? |
