Hawaii on $50 a day

One of the deals I made with the family was that I was not going to spend a bunch if money on restaurants. Normally we rent a small house (more like a shack) on the North Shore of Oahu and cook all our meals. Since I was using Hilton HHonors points this time, we are in a normal hotel room. No stove, not even a microwave. So we had to improvise. A $16 BBQ at Walmart, some Big Island ribeye and NY steaks and fresh caught Blue Marlin on the patio watching the sunset. Couple of Kona Longboard Lagers to wash it down ($23 a case at (Costco in Kona) out of the $30 Coleman ice chest. Fresh blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Cheap, delicious and saves our money for more epic adventures, like parasailing tomorrow afternoon…

  1. Hey Bob, cool posts as I can relate with my wife and boys (9 and 7). We are always doing our own adventures. Enjoyed your sense of humor and sincerity. Thanks.
