Anyone know a good last minute Hawaii site. I want to go. I don't care when. It will be price dictated ?
I am travelling alone and would like to get a vacation package from DC to any island. Any ideas?
This may be more info than you wanted but it's still good to know your options.
If you're not real choosy about what you want to do in Hawaii, anyplace will do. You can find a good beach almost anywhere as well as decent food, and entertainment. So go for it! Some of my best trips to Hawaii were last minute drop in's. Wherever I ended up, I'd rent a car and just drive around stopping wherever. Those who must plan everything miss out on the real Hawaii and adventure.
Try Travelzoo, the Away Network, and Orbitz. I have seen nice last minute condos available for $100 a week. Airfare for $300 round trip; I used to get these and then upgrade to first class for $60-$200 two hours before the flight.
If you are a risk taker you could just get the cheapest flight without hotel reservations. I would do that and then show up at the hotel to see if there were any vacancies, then make an offer. If a room is not booked by 6pm they most likely will not sell the room, so your $60 a night offer is better than leaving the room unsold. Works great on timeshare condos also. Sometimes you really have to sell the idea. The most I've ever paid for hotel in Hawaii is $65 a night at a nice timeshare, the cheapest is $25 a night at the Shower Tree by the Honolulu airport (it is the cheapest and most tourist would never stay there, it's more like a hostel). Most interesting was $40 for penthouse suite at an Outrigger in Waikiki. The other cheap option is to camp, to do this check out possible camp sites before you go. I have stayed in many camp sites and beaches without any problems. There are also a few backpacker houses where you can stay almost free, they have more of a surfer attitude.
If you don't rent a car, at least on Oahu, the city bus goes everywhere so you can still see everything. If you talk with the locals and don't act like a "stupid" tourist you can get some good info, free food, new friends, and possibly housing. I have walked all of Oahu and Maui staying on the beach or camping, but I get along well with locals and adventure.
My next trip I will take my kids along and we expect to pay about $800 a person for everything (includes airfare), but this time it will be with all the extras and planned in advance which is why we will pay much more than my usual $400.
If you are not a risk taker, try a package deal from the above web sites I listed. You can get a great deal if you are ready to go at the last minute. You can have a great trip without spending much money anywhere in Hawaii.
Make it fun...

The Last Minute (DVD) $37.25 LAST MINUTE is a dark comedy that exudes a well-defined feeling of outlandish exaggeration and startling truth in one smoothly paced motion. Directed by Stephen Norrington (BLADE) and set in London, it is the story of Billy Byrne (Max Beesley), a self-obsessed up-and-coming star. Working as an artist, Billy is on the verge of fame, with his girlfriend and his friends firmly behind him. However, when his moment of glory comes to an abrupt end, Byrne loses everything. Depressed and alone, he finds himself sinking into the spiraling depths of the London underworld, engulfed by a shady ring of crime in a network of tunnels underneath an old theater. Billy`s decisions along the way are influenced by a street-smart young girl, Anna (Emily Corrie in her feature film debut), and the horridly tainted leader of a gang of child thieves played by stage and screen actor Tom Bell. Adding to the cast, accomplished actor Jason Isaacs (THE PATRIOT, WINDTALKERS) puts forth a violent charisma as the film`s quirky villain, who has a propensity for busting into song. Fresh cinematography and Norrington`s hip personal style add to this satirical display of London`s highest and lowest lifestyles. THE LAST MINUTE is a small budget film that can easily contend with Hollywood`s finest productions. |
