I have been interested in traveling to Hawaii for quite some time now and believe I should just do it.
Time: August 1 - Aug 10 I have the whole month of August to take a week off so if you have a better time to travel (cheaper airfare) then any suggestions would be great. Between the 1st and the 25th for 9 days. (so it'd be Weekend (2)- Weekdays (5) - Weekend (2).
Location: I would like a tropical location with beaches and some hiking. It does not have to be Hawaii, but it is the only place that comes to mind. I do not really know which island to choose from. Although being surrounded by nature would be great, I would not like a place that is too secluded from the rest of the world. I'd like a beer and a taste of the nightlife.
Budget: Including flights, I'd like to keep this under $1500. I've been busting my ass this summer to save up for school, but I think I deserve a mini vacation. I plan on staying in Hostel(s) so comfy resorts are out of my price range.
I will be traveling by myself so having people to hang out with would also be great! Thanks!
