I don't have many vacation days left, but I'm dying to go on one more big vacation before the end of the year. You think a weekend trip to hawaii is worth it?

If your filthy rich then yes. Otherwise, you would probably be better off taking a week vacation to Hawaii and use the 2 days you have to go somewhere close to home.

If you haven't been there before and like to know what it's like, then it's good to visit. But, 2 days may be kind of short to see all of Hawaii. Most of the hotels and tourists are concentrated in Waikiki. You can see many people walking on the streets in Waikiki and at the beach. You can see high-rise condos and hotels there. But the housing is very expensive there.

Staying in Waikiki is great but @ the same time, you'll realize after being there for 1 day that it's not what one would imagine in Hawaii @ all....to really get the true flavour of Hawaii...head over to the middle of the island around Wahiawa, or head to Waipahu, North Shore, or Waimea Falls.....THAT is the Hawaii that everybody sees on TV, to me @ least...Waikiki is just a tropical version of Los Angeles without the smog...sorry if I burst any bubbles.

Yes, but why stay for only 2 nights. The airfare is now $199 each way from Phoenix to Honolulu. Camping is an alternative to hotels, and there is no place better than Volcanoes National. If you can arrange a week or two off, go for a couple of weeks and really get to know the area and people.

Probably not. Don't know your departure city, but consider a 5 hour flight from California, average hotel check in of after 2 PM gives you 2 nights and 1 day before checking out to return. Not very cost effective. Perhaps a 3 day baja cruise would be more feasible.

No. It isn't worth the time. While you will be able to go around the island (Oahu) no problem, once you get there, you won't want to leave. It is very beautiful and there are far too many things to see.
Believe me, I've been there. I know. I told a friend of mine who wanted to spend a week there and get married to make it two. You won't regret it. She made it two and she didn't regret it. And she went to Maui.

you can do everything in waikiki in two days, easy. island's aren't that big. rent a car drive, you can drive around that thing like 4 times a day making different stops on each rotation. simple.

I guess that would depend on where you are flying from????
It is about 5 1/2 hour flight from LAX alone.
