Rumors of a family trip to Kalaupapa in May (but it's volunteer-related for spouse) and a "getting-to-re-know-you" empty-nester's inter-island cruise in the fall.
With the pricing I see lately, it will be difficult to "Spend More Money" in Hawaii; for instance, $40 a night rooms at the Ala Moana Hotel.
And if you think about it the (recent special) $398 a night at the Kona Village Resort is way on the cheap side considering everything it includes.
