I've never been to Hawaii, and I've never heard it mentioned as a "budget" vacation possibility, but I enjoyed reading the article, and maybe a budget trip to Hawaii would be possible. It's certainly a great place to fitness-conscious people. It seems like Hawaii always has something going on- the iron man triathlon, surfing competitions, etc.Brain Vitaminshttp://www.mybrainvitamins.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-19995484495661944382012-03-06T04:51:57.366-05:002012-03-06T04:51:57.366-05:00Now that looks like a really great place for a vac...Now that looks like a really great place for a vacation!Rhadoohttp://www.body-buildin.com/2012/03/most-important-thing-in-bodybuilding.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-91974484405687235842012-03-05T10:43:04.900-05:002012-03-05T10:43:04.900-05:00Welcome back.

I remember years ago when I was in Hawaii, just being able to hike for free through the mountains, all the while getting great exercise....Top it off with some calisthenics, and makes for a great exercise program. (Although, however, I really like your thoughts about renting the fitness center for a couple bucks a day).<br />Glad you had a good time, Crabby.Dr. Mike Trembahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453105311444144447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-57656310393863264482012-03-04T22:31:11.855-05:002012-03-04T22:31:11.855-05:00Wow!

I so miss it & recognize some of the photos! :-) AND yes, we would hit those beaches by the resorts as well!<br /><br />We bought a timeshare way back in the early 80's when they were cheaper & we had some money so we have a place like that with kitchen & all so it works. I use the fitness center & run early outside & bring bands too. Like you, I need to get my workouts in BUT I do less days & not as crazy cause we are out being so active there.<br /><br />One thing we did do when we had some extra $4 & so worth it - a trip to the observatories on the island - OMG - amazing!!!!! WE actually sat thru a timeshare presentation to get a half off on this but just being up there was well worth it!<br /><br />I can't wait till we can go back again.

Doing this each day means in a few days, there is no backlog.<br /><br />One family i knew would buy one souvenir on each vacation. It was something they all agreed about and that would hang on a Christmas tree. That way, each year as they decorated for the holidays, they also relived the memories of all those vacations.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-46471901203157900112012-03-02T15:10:13.256-05:002012-03-02T15:10:13.256-05:00Here is another tip for your readers, I got my fli...Here is another tip for your readers, I got my flight from Boston to Honololu for a total of 600 bucks. If you go to Expedia.com and put in a package deal of hotel and flight, but then choose only 1 day in a hotel, you usually get a great deal on a flight. I chose the cheapest hotel. Then never showed up, they still got their money and I got a 300 savings on my flight.StarvingBitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905457524933733167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-63426831469143986052012-03-02T15:08:29.946-05:002012-03-02T15:08:29.946-05:00Oh Cranky you make me want to go back.

My friend is a Disney Vacation Club member so I didn't have to pay for the room, then she has Marriott points for all the traveling she does, so we got to stay in Maui for free as well. We ate maybe 1 1/2 meals a day, for some reason, we were never hungry, must have been all the excursions we took. I loved Hawaii, I would love to go back! The flight from MA is a tough one, but soooo worth getting the Fred Flinstone feet for a day.StarvingBitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905457524933733167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-77570497909809790022012-03-02T13:25:26.452-05:002012-03-02T13:25:26.452-05:00Welcome back Crabby.

So glad you had a wonderful time on the Big Island.<br /> My husband and I went to Honolulu for the first time a few years ago and spent a fraction of what many people spend by doing exactly what you said. I researched all the fun, free activities Hawaii has to offer. That is is entire reason I wanted to vacation there - free beauty. We rented a car and explored the entire island. Hanauma Bay, North Shore, we climbed to the top of Diamondhead (way more fun then the stairmaster)<br /> I am planning a trip to the Big Island for later this year and my plan is the same. Free fun, volcano's, waterfalls. As far as eating goes, when we were there we only ate when we were hungry, smaller meals we could take with us. It was the greatest vacation ever. I can't wait to go back. Thaks for the update.<br />ps - love your blogmrsmarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181067321189735047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-32875611038428237772012-03-02T10:42:53.653-05:002012-03-02T10:42:53.653-05:00Hey Emily,
