If you'd like to get the most
out of your dollar and your trip, this is the guide for you.
I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you how to see
the best for less and how to see it in a more authentic
way-the way the locals do.
Instead of spending $300
a night for a chain hotel, why not stay at the Wabi-Sabi
House on Maui where you can sleep in an enclosed, tranquil
treehouse for just $70 a night, or bed down in an oceanfront
condo on Kauai for $105 a night?
On Oahu, eat a
Hawaiian plate lunch at the Rainbow Drive-In for under $4,
so you can splurge on dinner. Try Iron Chef champion Seiya
Masahara's specialty-Japanese comfort food known as oden, a
hotpot of dashi (broth) with long-simmered vegetables-at
Hakkei.
Let me show you the "other" Hawaii-the one
only insiders know about. Listen to slack-key guitar jam
sessions on Oahu or volunteer to work with the Hawaii
Wildlife Fund on Maui to help endangered sea turtles get a
healthy start on life. These are only a few of the great
ways to get closer to the culture of Hawaii. Read on for
more!
