I’m going to be heading off for a hopefully nice summer vacation in about 5 days. This is probably going to be one of more expensive trip I’ll be taking.

Here’s a snapshot of the itinerary from Expedia.com. There will be four of us heading from Los Angelos, CA to Honolulu (Oahu), Hawaii.

Mmmm.. pricy fun

We’ve booked two rooms at the Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel for 7 nights and 8 days (June 1st to June 8th). It’s no five star hotel, but the price and location seems to be good. Choosing hotel was one of the toughest part in planning this trip, I’ve read so many reviews that I got major headaches.

The cost for flight + hotel will be $867.87 for each of us.

Of course, the total cost of the trip has yet to be determined. I’m hoping to spend “only” another $300 or so, but I’m not sure if that amount is realistic yet. We’ll be spending quite a bit on food, activities, and entertainment.

We didn’t book a car rental with the package because supposely we won’t really need it – at least, not everyday. We’ll definitely rent one at least for a day to drive around the island and explore. None of us is over the age of 25, so I’m expecting some expensive surchage from the car rental. Tips on car rental, anyone?

Edit: Oh yeah, I hope everyone will have a great holiday weekend. I’ll be using this time to plan and get ready for the trip.
