Traveling to Hawaii (or any destination) Travel Tip #4: Get up and Go

What you do on your vacation is up to your budget.  Free always wins.

You did it.  You booked your flight.  You found a place to stay.  You have your transportation.

And now you're broke.

But not really.  Day to day spending is easily transferable.  Skip expensive meals and replace them with grocery stores.  Your rental car gas needs replace your daily gas needs at home.  You do have some flexibility.

​You just have to find the free.

Hawaii is a beautiful island off in the Pacific.  Even if you are not big on hiking, you can easily find beaches to spend the day at.  We prefer to hike and move on our travels.  (Find our hiking gear HERE)

We're about to share all of the places we discovered on our adventure.  Stay tuned! Here are a few tips for you to consider when planning yours.

Tip #1:  Get a Map

Not just google.  Purchase a map of where you are going.  There is nothing worse than wasting gas by backtracking your day.  As you research your travel destinations, mark them out on the map so you can see distances and directions.  This saves so much money and time.

Travel Tip #2:  Go Exploring
Before you go, read up as much as you can.  Historical landmarks, interesting facts, must see places.  A lot of the places recommended are usually free or low costs.  Hiking in parks may have an entrance fee and there may be some parking costs.  However, paying a few dollars for three hours of exploring is well worth the cost.  Beaches tend to be free or have a small parking cost.  That can be an entire day of fun for ten dollars or less.

What you spend on what you do is completely up to you.  And, no one is going to judge you.  You're in an incredible place with a story to tell.  No one cares how much money you spend.  Why waste money on tours when you can easily just be in a place.  By all means, if you have the resources and are interested, go for it.  But we're giving you permission to spend as little as possible to enjoy every minute of your trip.

Budget Tips for Travel:
1. Determine what type of traveler you are.  Beach all day or adventures
2.  Buy a map to save time and resources
3.  Find the free.  Do research prior to going to find unique places with low costs.  You never know what you'll find waiting for you by being open to an adventure.
