Going to Hawaii? Do it Hostel Style

Taking a trip to Hawaii doesn't have to cost you a fortune. Especially during these economic times, people are looking to save as much money as they can when they travel. Staying at a hostel is the best way to budget your next trip. Budget hotels can cost $100 USD or more per night. However hostels range in price from about $20 USD per night and around $60 USD for a private room (if available). Why pay a lot for a room in a fancy hotel when you'll be wanting to be outside for majority of your trip? Room doesn't really matter then. Here are some other reasons why you'll want to go to a hostel instead of a hotel.

• Hostel room cost a lot less so you'll have more spending money on your vacation
  
• Great way to meet other people from around the world that have the same interests as you
  
• Great information/deals on day trips, sightseeing, surf/hula lessons, etc.
  
• Most have free usage of computers, internet, and wi-fi
  
• Did I mention how much money you would be saving?
  

So the next time you plan a trip to Hawaii, try and book a room at a hostel. Here are some recommendations.

• Waikiki Beachside Hostel
  
• Hilo Bay Hostel
  
• Paumalu Hale Hostel
  
• Koa Wood Hale- Pateys Place
  
• The Northshore Hostel

Nothing Like a Hawaiian Sunset

There's nothing as cliche as the saying "beautiful as a Hawaiian sunset". But after my most recent trip I have to say it's absolutely true. Now I have never been one for nature, much less sunsets. But as I was walking on the beach I couldn't help but notice just how beautiful a sunset in Hawaii was compared to others I've seen in the US. Here's a collection of sunsets from Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Kauai.
