I know alot of people here who think I am nuts to prefer Fla to Hawaii.
I can rent a 1 brm, 1 bath in Hawaii for about $3200 a month and the car will cost me another $700 a month and the airfare ranges from 700 to 1500 pp from orlando.
So this is not a cheap option and we would need the income from a rental to offset the price if we decide to do it. Just trying to come up with ideas to make my husband happy, he deserves it.
I know this sounds far-fetched, but have you considered seeking someone in HI who may be interested in house-swapping a couple months of the year? There are outfits on the web that deal in that type of transaction.
