Given that we had six days in Hawaii, we felt we could give a few minutes of our time for a few hundred bucks. So the first one was a vacation discount club. It was kind of expensive considering you had limited discounts. Basically they bought from hotels/airlines in their less busier times in bulk, and sold them for cheap to their vacation club people. But we only considered it if it gave us good discounts to place we were already going like Canada, Montana, Washington and California. Of course it wasn't a huge discount at those places and we said no. So we paid $25 for a night cruise along the coast of Oahu. It is usually around $180 for two. Then we did the Wyndham resort timeshare presentation. This was only for $100. But it was interesting. Really expensive but interesting. Paid for some things and I still have some of the gift card...maybe $5 of it.
Anyway, that took about 4 hours of our time, but it seemed worth it. We were already going to do the cruise anyway, so it saved us $150 for the buffet cruise. It was decent food, nothing too exciting. Great view from the water and nice fireworks from one of the hotels at the end. We met a nice couple from Chicago. Both had immigrated from South Korea. Nice people. Said they were advised to stay away from the Polynesian cultural center because there was no drinking there...pretty funny as they planned away from it because they couldn't drink that day.
Haven't downloaded pictures...we have a ton from our hikes and adventures. Had some fun parasailing...it was much easier than expected and not too rocky of a ride.
