As much as we love to travel, it is quite expensive, and planning a vacation can be years in the making. We would all love it if we could get a great deal on everything that goes into a vacation, allowing us to stay longer, travel more often, and do everything that we desire to do when visiting a new destination. The reality of it is that taking a trip is a big investment, and no matter how long we save, there are always cuts that we are forced to make.

There are options to help take some of the sting out of travel expenses, and if you are willing to shop, do some research, and have patience, you can save valuable dollars that will allow you to do more, stay a day longer, and just have an all around better experience. Once you start figuring out how to plan an affordable Hawaiian vacation, saving money will be very easy, and you will be able to use the same techniques to plan vacations to other destinations.

Accommodations
The most expensive part of any vacation is figuring out where to stay. Hotels are quite expensive and are limited in their offerings. With the availability of private residences through sites like Air BnB, travelers have the luxury to pay just a bit more and have the everyday accommodations that they are accustomed to. Choosing accommodations at a private residence will save you money on food in the long run, so if you are considering that, you will save valuable dollars. If you choose a hotel, be sure to shop around for the best rate, and if you are flexible on which hotel you stay at, you can find great deals on smaller boutique hotels.

Flights
This is the second most expensive part of any trip, and probably the most painful thing to pay for. Flight costs are increasing and the farther you are from Hawaii, the more expensive your flights. There are not too many direct flights to the islands, and the longer you wait, the higher the cost. With the limited availability of flights, be sure to keep an eye on the prices and be sure to make your reservations during the week. It is common knowledge that flight prices drop on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Dining
Food will be the hardest part of travel. If you choose to stay in a private residence courtesy of Air BnB, you will most likely have a kitchen and will be able to prepare your meals, saving you money on dining out. Sure, you will still have a couple of meals at a restaurant but take full advantage of a kitchen and cook as much as you can. If you choose a hotel, stock up on snacks, fruits, and vegetables that don't need to be refrigerated.
