$4,000 for seven days? You will be fine. Go to Maui.

My husband and I were able to go to Oahu from Thursday to Tuesday for $900. This was for the flight and hotel (right on the beach).
The best way to save money to to search expedia, travelocity, hotwire, travelzoo, orbitz, etc… The rates change daily. You save money by booking your flight and hotel together and also if you want a rental car.
Just keep doing research until you are happy with the price. I have also found that you can camp cheap in Hawaii at the parks. Since you aren’t spending much time in the hotel, you might be better off packing a tent and camping out a few nights.

Have fun!!~~~~~~~

The Big Island has it’s tourist spots far apart, you use a lot of time driving. Also the Big Island has lot’s of Lava Fields that run into the Ocean, thus, they have less percentage of actual beach.

Maui is our where you should go. It’s more manageable than Big Island and they have more to do than Lanai, Kauai or Molokai.

As far as budget accomodations, just google “Maui Vacation Rentals” and stay in either Kihei or Wailea. But you lived here, you should know where to stay

tells some to do on Big Island. get tickets through hotwire. Forget hotel stay at Vacation rental through or
