I have been trying for two years to get to Hawaii and have done so much research and I have decided I would like to stay for three months To truly get the opportunity to visit the many beautiful islands so I am trying to find a month-to-month rental or a sublease if anybody has any ideas please let me know we tried craigslist but got scammed twice. We will be coming May June July this year.
Airbnb has worked for us multiple times. Beware of apartments not in legal zones, as you could lose your arraingement easily. Waikiki is a good place for the night life, but be sure to get a place that includes parking if you are renting a car as parking is outrageous.
These ideas are great! I get serious post vacation blues but that’s when I start planning our next trip which helps. Hawaiian music helps but can also make me feel sad. I love the feeling of anticipation before our vacation to Hawaii so when that’s over it’s natural and normal to feel sad. Hawaii is such a special place. It’s harder to leave each time. We’re starting to look at property. I want more Hawaii!
Know what to expect regarding your budget before you go so that you are not facing a much larger than expected CC bill when you get home. Be aware of all the fees and taxes. If you rent a condo or home and expect to buy groceries, you may have sticker shock.We just got home from the BI on Monday. Groceries are outrageous (more than usual). EX: jar of Helman’s mayo was on sale for $10.99. A pint of Heavy Whipping Cream almost $12.00. First time ever eating out was almost cheaper than eating in.
Download Aloha Joe Radio app and listen to it whenever you can. You can send requests to him as well. We have it playing in the bedroom when packing and unpacking, in the car to and from Hawaii, and even on the plane if you wish. BTW stopping in LA to go to Disneyland for a day is a great decompression. Plus it reduces jet lag.
Update: you can now use the onlineradiobox app to hear live Hawaiian stations like FM 105 KINE (“Da Kine”). For awhile you couldn’t hear Hawaiian music stations on the mainland. For some silly reason they blocked it (probably royalty dispute).
Also during this unpredictable time, I would recommend trip insurance in case you need to cancel. I’ve never used it, but now is a time I would buy it.
