I'm about to get two FREE tickets to Hawaii. The only condition is to book a whole week (7 days) in a really nice hotel (I'm including the list of the available places below). The rates are for double occupancy, so in other words the cost per person including air and lodging for 7 days is well around $1000. We will need to share the room, but not the bed. It's ok by me as long as you promise not to take advante while is dark juajuajua.I know what ladies must be thinking, but my sole and only intention is to save some money, and why not may be make a dive buddy for the future.One more thing, I'm originally from Uruguay and speak with a heavy accent.Lets make it happen

Be careful. Alot of the times I have been offered free air tickets in the past with this catch. They then jack up the hotel rates so hotel costs more than air and hotel would of.

Im not sure if the prices are jack up, for what I found in the searches that I made they are really nice places. Even if I go to the cheapest places I would up paying a lot more if I also had to buy the air tickets.
Thanks for the advice :cheerleader:

Almost always the case. The Honolulu/Waikiki Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is listed here for $255.00-$300.00, but the going rate is $150.

Any good travel agent can get you a better deal...!!

You'll want to investigate a little on the diving to decide where to go.

If you go to Kauai, I'd suggest you talk to or look at the diving co's on the island there first. Oahu & Maui have unlimited options for Dive Operators and diving.

I just moved back, so if you need some references for dive boats, I can give you some info or ask some locals in Hawaii on scubaboard.com
