    Hawaiii for sure man! Such a beautiful experience. Food is amazing there, try poke, Leonard's bakery, polka dogs. And I must say the women there are beautiful too!

    Looking back, I do wish I traveled more when I was single... Come to Hawaii, but don't get stuck in the tourist traps. Rent a Jeep and explore

    Alright. so it turns out my company has a deal with some of the airline companies cuz we travel a lot and apparently I've been a good worker recently so when I asked for the time off, they asked where I wanted to go and unbelievabley they decided to fly me there, for free. Traveling on the companies dime is going to be sweet. So it looks like I get the best of both worlds. I can now afford to do both. I think Christmas came early this year, or I'm dreaming. I haven't figured it out yet. But I'm super stoked this is going to be so awesome!

    And I've been looking up motels and the prices are stupid high. Then one of my coworkers suggested to look at hostels. Holy crap. I can stay there for like $30 a night, sure it's not private but who cares? This is going to be bad ass. And when I get home, I'll probably have a nice big box sitting on the front porch full of shiny new suspension parts....

    Waikiki is the city. Good to cruise around, some nice beaches... Lots of women, lots of visitors. You'll have a blast, bring lots of spending money. Everything costs a lot there

    Hawaii.

    Travel while you can. Money isn't your only thing that can limit travel.

    I wish I traveled more when I was younger. Still plan to some day but my house and parents come first.

    Definitely rent the Jeep, forget the tourist areas, and head to the remote beaches that require a 4x4. It is hard to beat the full open air top of a Jeep in Hawaii.

    Hawaii. Just by going you will spend a lot of coin, whether your company is paying for the flight or not. Use money in Hawaii now and maybe use tax return money on a lift. What will be a better story later? When I was young and single I went to Hawaii and had an adventure, or, When I was younger I took a week off and installed a lift on this truck I don't even own anymore. In 2014 I went to Hawaii with $1000 spending money. I think the realistic total needed was $1600 or $1700 and my flight and place to stay were provided free. When you get there all budget considerations go out the door and its all about fun. Do it!
