My Trip to Boston - 2026

[Hamartia Antidote]

I haven't looked into day to day expenses in Huwaii islands, like food/gas and other attractions, another reason is bad flight hours and layovers. But i will keep an eye on deals that pop up where flight price drop significantly.

I wish I could help you but I stayed on the Big Island for most of my trip and it was in some camp for my kids and they gave the parents lodging there too. I only paid for hotels when we flew over to Oahu for two days. I rented a car on BOTH islands (which is a requirement) but I don't remember the prices.

Most of Waikiki Beach is gone...the ocean has reclaimed much it..the city has to occasionally dredge and dump sand to rebuild the beach areas.

I splurged one night with an ocean view in the Outrigger (the one with Duke's)..which i think you should do since Waikiki Beach is one of the most famous beaches in the world and a bucket list item for many people...so just spend the money and do it.

For Buffalo,

The funny thing is since Niagara is near the most southern part of Canada it is a desirable place to live while Niagara being on the more northern side of the US is considered some of the worst places to live.
