8k to go to hawaii seems excessive, so does 1.5k to fly to see him family. What makes up these expenses?
Also, your husband is military. Have you looked at flying Space-A? If you are not aware of this, basically it is a program setup where military members and there families can sign up to take flights from military bases on planes that are carrying troops or supplies to other bases on a space available basis. The downside is there is very little advance notice, you just have to show up on that day and hope there is room on the flight. The positive is that active duty military and family is top priority on the waiting list.
You should look into this and then call the nearest airfield and maybe they can let you know what your chances of getting to Hawaii space a are.
*edit, not sure on posting links here so just google military space available flight and you will get good stuff.
