This summer, my friends and I plan to go to Hawaii for our senior trip. I will still be 17, and all my other friends will be 18. My mom is really persistent in wanting to know everything about me going as a minor. She can't even ask specific questions though :P
So what can you tell me that I'll need to have or whatever to be there safely and legally? Can I stay in a rental condo with my 18 year old friends?
p.s. I live in mainland U.S., so it is technically within the country traveling.

~ No problems... however, if you were 15 or younger, you would have to pay about $65 for a Minor's travel pass... Your parent or guardian would have to be with you till you board the plane... a guardian in Hawaii would have to have name,address,tel...etc and be waiting at the airport for you... you would have to carry a big plastic sign around your neck stating you are a MINOR, traveling unaccompanied... the Stewerdi would have to place you in a front row to help keep an eye on you.
~ But, at 17, I think you're fine... call your airline first. Just need your ID card... drivers license... what ever you have, ask them if that's sufficient... may have to get California ID (or state ID).
~ Have an awesome trip ~ Mahalo...

Since you are 17, you can travel by yourself to Hawaii using just your photo id.
As far as staying with your friends, there's no rule about your staying with your friends as long as the place you're renting from is okay with them renting the place.
Be aware though that the legal drinking age here in Hawaii is 21 so if you plan on partying, do with non-alcoholic beverages. Hawaii is very strict in it's laws about underage drinking. Wouldn't want your memories of Hawaii to be that of a jail cell......
Hope you have a great time!
