Money for Maui
Hi. going to Maui in Oct. and was trying to figure how much money to take. Can any of you former Maui-travelers tell me if most gas stations, restaurants, etc accept debit cards? Would like to keep my most of my cash in my checking account and pay with a debit card. Thanks!

Also, be prepared for high prices on food.....especially restaurants. You can save a little by stocking up at the grocery store for some bascis (like sodas, fruit and breakfast foods). Be aware that meals will cost you considerably more than what you are probably used to on the mainland.

Have to differ with Jim. I spend very little but I stay away from commercial activities and eating out regularly. I like to have about $200 on me just because it is convenient to not have to think about where and when you will be popping by an ATM. I feel this way mainly on the first couple of days and in from the East Coast. Actually this is also my rule for foreign countries so it is not necessarily a Maui money thing. After getting situated I really don't feel the need for a lot of cash on hand certainly not in the islands.
