2 Weeks in Hawaii for a family of six only 18,000

Today we talk about everything from rental cars in Hawaii to booking your vacation over the Christmas holiday in response to some podcast listener questions we’ve received.

 We talk about the fluctuating prices on car rentals and the average price you should  pay for a car rental in Hawaii.  We discuss options for a family vacation for next year and discuss whether it makes sense to plan that far in advance for a trip in March or April of next year.  We also go over packages that have been booked in the last 24 to 48 hours including a $18,000 package for six people who are spending 14 days visiting three islands.  While that sounds like a lot of money it’s an incredible value when you hear how much these folks are getting for their dollar.
