I used to do work there and now that and have been to the islands way more times than I can count… today, prices for food are thru the roof. Last time a year or so ago, 1 pancake on Maui was $24… don’t want to even talk about greens fees. Funny, last time we were there, during a short rainfall, I was talking to the housekeeping folks under a roof, they asked where we were from, I said Florida… first thing out of their mouths, “why are you here???, don’t you have palm trees and great beaches and way more golf courses???”

They obviously haven’t been to Florida.
Florida is beautiful, many natural attractions, but quite, quite different from Hawaii. For one, there are no live volcanoes etc. Two completely different paradises.
You can do Hawaii cheaper. Look at what the natives do, where they shop, etc Hawaii is very expensive for tourists because they help subsidize these far-from-everything islands. Tourists are their bread and butter.
