Aloha from Kauai!

May 5th, 2009 at 08:10 am

Our second day here. I like it - the ocean, the uncrowded beaches. (Locals say there are much less tourists due to the economy.)

The weather is absolutely perfect!

It is pretty nice to be able to go when others can't. Plus, I didn't refinance anything to do it. Smile

Financially, it is not a cheap trip.
And not because of airfare (cheap) or food (close to NY prices, so I am not as shocked by it as others.

The most expensive part of our trip is active sports.

We are taking a surfing lesson tomorrow morning, than going for a 3 hour private horse ride in the afternoon (the one where you gallop and canter, not the one where you walk nose to tail with a bunch of people - I can't stand that).

Wed, Thur, Fri - scuba diving.

Don't know what we'll do Sat. and Sun. yet, but I'm sure it will be something. So for 2 people it adds up to more than hotel costs.

But if I just wanted to lay next to the beach in a nice hotel, I could have found one much closer than Hawaii.

Taking advantage of what the island has to offer is important.

    Aloha! I hear ya'. It's all about prioritizing. When I went on a cruise to Alaska, I did not buy anything in the on-board shops, I did not pay for a single drink (we brought our own wine), but I DID sign up for the VERY expensive dog sled ride on a glacier. I can shop for trinkets or buy mixed drinks anywhere, but when else would I have the opportunity to ride on a glacier pulled by a team of beautiful Huskies? (Sadly the dog sled ride had to be cancelled due to warm weather, but that's another story. The point is that I WAS willing to pay for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.)

    Just stay out of the shops and you'll be fine. Wink
