I'm going to Hawaii and I don't have much $$$

[Tris]

No really....not much money at all. I got lucky with an excellent deal but once I get there all I'm going to be able to do is lay on the beach! Not that I am complaining!!!! So anyway! I would be happy to hear any suggestions anyone has on some bargains and deals and anything good and free to see. This maybe be the only time I get to see Hawaii in my life so I don't want to miss out on some good stuff just because I'm broke!! Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

Not sure what island you're going to, but I think most of them have timeshare presentations. We went to one in Kauai -- it took 2 hours and it was pouring rain, so we didn't feel like we lost too much activity time -- and they gave us really good deals (2 for 1 or 50% off actual prices -- not "retail" prices) on activities that we wanted to do. If you're at all interested in snorkeling, that's a really fun activity that's fairly cheap. Buy a cheap mask and snorkel at Wal-Mart and it's free after that. On our last trip, we took a George Forman grill and bought food at the grocery store and cooked it on that in our budget hotel. Restaurants are so pricey, we splurged once, but mostly ate in. Hope you have a WONDERFUL trip. I'm so jealous!
