Comments on: Conflict of Interest in AAA Hawaii Report? http://beatofhawaii.com/conflict-of-interest-in-aaas-hawaii-report/ A Travel Chronicle from Hawaii Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:35:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Pua http://beatofhawaii.com/conflict-of-interest-in-aaas-hawaii-report/#comment-1087 Pua Wed, 07 May 2008 03:19:41 +0000 http://beatofhawaii.com/?p=345#comment-1087 As usual, a great well researched post, Jeff. Goodness this so-called average quote of $792 can even scare the middle class off not to mention Hawaii budget travelers! When staying at one of the many fully equipped vacation rentals, with kitchen!, even the $358 daily expenses on food and lodging are a little on the high side. We just stayed at a nice apartment in Puako on the Big Island, across from the beach, for $115/nt. Had breakfast and lunch 'at home', smelling the scents of gardinias and plumerias all around us, and were still able to go out for dinner several times. Must admit we were lucky with our Hawaii air fares (traveled for miles with United), which did not fall through like for so many other travelers. Bottom line: Don't get discouraged. There is no place like Hawaii! Aloha, Pua As usual, a great well researched post, Jeff.
