3 Affordable Days
Have you ever noticed that in the Hemisphere's
magazine, the "3 Perfect Days" information is
nice reading, if you earn the salary of a corporate CEO.
So we decided to build "3 Affordable days".
Each month we will focus on a different destination and
ask for your help in sharing your experience with other
Villagers.
Honolulu, HI
CHEAP EATS
New Kapahulu Chop Suey
(730 Kapahulu 11am - 9pm daily)
Their special combination
lunch was $4.15 for years.
Ono Hawaiian Foods (726
Kapahulu)
If you want pig instead of
pork. Wait outside to be invited in.
Maunakea Market Place Food
Court (1120 Maunakea)
Shirokiya Department Store
(Second level Ala Moana Shopping Center near Liberty
House) Hot cafeteria style lunch top floor.
FREE ENTERTAINMENT:
Hilton Hawaiian Village
Friday night fireworks on the beach about an hour
after sunset.
Fort DeRussy Museum
(Closed Mondays)
Iolani Palace - If time
does not permit waiting for the paid tour
reservations, a free film is shown past the ticket
counter. Gift shop across from film has
inexpensive historical postcards not available
elsewhere. Free Band concert at noon Fridays.
Sheraton Moana Surfrider -
Celebrating 100 years in 2001. A small museum
room is on the second floor at the top of the glass
doors to the room are opened. Free 1 hour
historical tours are available daily 11A and 515PM at
the concierge desk.
CHEAPEST TRANSPORTATION:
The Bus - 4 day pass for
$10, sold at ABC Stores. Free bus schedules are
available in racks at McDonalds, 2164 Kalia near Beach
Walk and McDonalds 2476 Kalakaua.
CHEAPER TRANSPORTATION
AIRPORT/WAIKIKI: Instead of taking the bus
outside baggage claim, get a coupon out of a THIS WEEK
and use a pay phone. Depending on your
group size, a van, taxi or limo coupon rate will be
cheaper and more direct than the monopoly bus.
BEST MAP: The phone
book on all islands.
BEST PLACE TO WAIT FOR A
COUPLE OF HOURS AT THE AIRPORT: The garden in
the triangle area at the center of the terminal
building, near the Aero Space Museum
CHEAPER ROOMS: Some
buildings on Ala Wai have much better views than those
closer to the beach. The canal, golf course,
mountains and Diamond Head can provide spectacular
views.

I'm not going to restrict it to cheap stuff, but how about "Free, Discounted, or Worth the Extra Money" Drop me your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, etc!
