How to vacation in Hawaii
It made me
Sunny!
 "Breathtaking!"
How I did it: We kept looking around for the best deal on prices. At the time, ATA was in business and we got a great roundtrip deal with them! Next, instead of staying at a hotel, we rented a condo for the week. This saved a lot of money for us to do other things since we bought groceries and could eat some meals at the condo. I know a lot of people believe that going to Hawaii is expensive,but just by finding a condo verus a hotel, that freed up a lot of $$ Lessons & tips: If you have never been, plan to stay a week. And go with an itinerary so that you see everything possible. Take advantage of volcanoes, boat tours, snorkeling, the beaces, everything! |

It made me
Thrilled!
How I did it: We saved money, stopped making excuses and allowed ourselves to enjoy some of the benefits we earned.One of the awesome benefits of being retired military is that lodging in Hawaii can be dirt cheap when you compare to the rates of top chain hotels. During our vacation in Hawaii, my husband and I decided to do some hotel hopping, we stayed at the Navy Lodge in Honolulu (exceptionally nice) we had a room with a full kitchen and water… Read how I did it…

Oahu and Maui visited
16 months ago
I’ve had so much fun in Hawaii (still have to visit the Big Island and Kauai). We borrowed a condo just a block up from the Royal Hawaiian in Waikiki. It was the middle of December (my secret time to go to the islands). My best memory was walking down the street in my swim trunks, coffee in hand for a morning swim and hearing “Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer” being played on some steel drums and thinking to myself, “It’s 80 degrees, I’m going swimming, what are they playing Christmas songs for?”, then comming ot the realization that Christmas was just a week away! Paradise.
Maui I was just at for Memorial day weekend last year. Some friends rented a big house on the hillside looking out towards Lanai and got married in the backyard there. I didn’t want to leave I loved Maui so much. I would’ve punched my Grandmother in the face to be able to spend all my time in that very place.
Next up will be the Big Island, so I can visit the telescopes there (hopefully) and maybe a helicopter tour of the volcanoes!

Last vacation I took

my boss told us all to use up our vacations (should have been a warning!)
Came back and got laid off. Hah…and no three weeks vacation paid out…smart man.
We went to Kauai and stayed at the Dharma center, which was WHACKY. Tashi, the lama in residence was funny and totally not what I was expecting, but we had fun.
I’d like to go back, but maybe a different island this time.

Now that my husband will be working for an airline, the chances are greater that we will be able to go to Hawaii. It’s still not something that I can grasp, as we still need to get our finances in better shape, but wow it’s “do-able”!
I know that I can make this happen with a little planning and some saving.
All set for July

Flights booked, condo booked. Going with 15 or so others for a big family vacation. It’s going to be paradise.

If you ever get the chance to visit Hawaii…GO! You could take a cruise around the islands, or visit the Orchid Gardens. Hawaii is luscious and full of nature’s beauty. I enjoyed taking lots of pictures there. Loved the sunets over the ocean.
