" In my experience, cost of food and entertainment in HI are as much as airfare and room."

Often more. But…I’ve spent time in Hawaii when I was quite impoverished. If you shop at grocery stores, small cafes and spend your days on the beach—cheap. As you get older, you want nice restaurants and wine, small airplane flights, and massages. You can get by cheaply if you want. Our standards just get more expensive.

And Shrinkrap, I want friends like that too. I never had any rich friends, we were all poor. I always tell my kids not to be jealous of their super wealthy friends, just enjoy the perks!
