It's easy to see why an affordable family vacation in Hawaii seems out of reach to most. Even the Hawaii Tourism Authority reports total visitor expenditure in Hawaii at $171 per person per day.
if you go to the Hawaii Tourist Authority website of course you're gonna feel like you'll never, ever be able to afford a Hawaiian vacation. There is all kinds of stuff to do which doesn't cost much here. A lot of families just want to be here. Spend the majority of their money on airfare. Once here the may pile two or three families into one condo to make ends meet. And almost all their meals at McDonalds, or with a Cup of Noodles, to make their vacation last. It's all about the sacrifice my friend. Even use folks that live here year round have to make all kinds of sacrifices!!!
