We are staying at the Marriott in Lihue in Kuai
Sheraton in Kona on the Big Island
Resortquest Kaanapali shores hotel in Maui

If you get the entertainment book, make sure you wait for the 2008 edition to come out - let me know what is in there, I am considering ordering!

Activities and Food are really expensive on Hawaii - I am budgeting $160 per day on food and was advised that is not enough. All the activities are usually around $100 each or more per person depending on what it is. Helicopter tours are probably closer to $300 - $500 each.

We are budgeting almost as much for food and activities as we are paying for hotels, rental cars, and flights between islands.

More than I thought it would be

The entertainment book is already out for 08 (it expires 11/08) - and if you go to their website you can see some of the restuarants that offer deals.

Also for the activities - you can get the gold card for $30 and it has a bunch of half off for tours and stuff - heres the website:

Just got home from a family party and FH's cousin just returned from living in Maui for 1 yr.....they highly recommend NOT doing the bike ride down the volcano -

first of all, its really steep turns and some areas don't have guard rails (scary), second of all, it takes a long time and you are on an uncomfortable bike, and it costs close to 100 per person.

We were planning on doing this, since it seems to be the thing to do on Maui and a coworker recommended it. But after hearing this, we are going to watch the sunrise on our own in our convertible rental car and drive down to see the same views...it can be freezing on top of the volcano so at least we will have our own car with heat if needed.

I guess it just depends on the person. FH has done it before and loved it. We defintely are going to do it

Hope this helps someone else - I didn't even realize you could drive on your own.....
