Hey @the-old-coach ;
Much simpler and more cost effective ways to stay into your guitar journey. You don’t actually need a guitar in your hands or spend any more money.
Watch some music theory videos. Write some lyrics, maybe come up with some melodies using just your voice. (My music theory channel on YouTube is finally up: N-Light Music Theory.)
Listen to music that you might be interested in learning. See if you can pick up some chord progression and technique ideas from the locals. There are many stellar musicians among the Hawaiians and their style is totally unique.
Since you will be busy enjoying your vacation and you will already be spending a bunch of money, and your wife has to enjoy the time also, seeing local musicians and really paying attention might be the most obvious way to go. You might even get the chance to talk to some of them. That might end up being a golden opportunity that would be wasted if you had a guitar and spent the time playing since you do that at home all the time anyway. You fingers won’t forget in 2 1/2 weeks even if you mind does.
