First, if you're a little over 13, you're not supposed to be on this site. You're probably not going to have much luck convincing your parents to let you travel 5,000 miles from home without their supervision. That's just reality. Put yourself in their shoes. You're asking them to entrust your safety and well-being to someone who is not a relative and whom they may not know well enough to trust on that level. You're asking them not to worry as you fly 9 or 10 hours on a plane and are on your own on a remote island. Maybe your best bet is to try and convince them to take a once in a lifetime family trip. That way you all get to see Hawaii together. You could get tips from you neighbor about where to stay and what to do. Good luck.

Do you get good grades in school, and give them little problem at home? Do they know this neighbor well? If this is the case, you should ask your parents to sit down with you and the neighbor and discuss it. But in the end, you are only 13 and your parents have the final say. Hawaii is a wonderful place to visit, and it would be a great opportunity. But, this would also be a huge responsibility for the neighbor. You would be her responsibility, and that's an awful long plane ride and quite a distance to be away from home at 13. I'm sure your parents aren't just saying no to make you miserable or anything (I know it often seems that way).

If I were a parent, I'd be a little creeped out by the idea of letting my 13-year-old go on a trip ANYWHERE with my 50-year-old neighbor. From what it sounds like, it's probably not a matter of money. As one poster already said here, put yourself in their shoes. Is your neighbor going to be responsible if anything happens to you, like if you get sick, injured, mugged, kidnapped, lost? Start saving your money now and wait a couple of years.
