Where should I spend 5 nights in Southern Italy?

How much should I expect to spend while in Maui for 5 nights?

• I am trying to figure out how much me and my wife will spend while in Maui for 6 nights. I realize we could... spend thousands of doallars, but we arent going there to blow all our money, just relax and spend time alone. Maybe go on a helecopter ride and a sunset dinner cruise, but that about it. We will be snorkeling alot, on our own, not paying people for it. So reallly just have to eat, have gas for our vehicle there, will probally drive around a bit and just a couple of the things I listed and maybe a couple more. Nothing to expensive though. So what would you say I should set aside for while we are there?

• Answer:

  Hotel or condo can cost anyplace from $150 to $500 per night, depending on how luxurious and location. Helicopter ride is $150 to $300 per person depending on length of ride. I would not waste money on a sunset dinner cruise, since the food is MUCH better, and the view just as good, in many of Maui's top restuarants (reviewed with photos on the website below). Gas is about 25-50 cents per gallon more expensive than at home. You can save a lot of money by buying groceries and cooking in your condo, if you don't want to eat all your meals in restaurants ($20 to $60 per person for dinner depending on how fancy a restaurant and how many courses you order).
