You need to step outside your box to get the help you need...from the Hawaii FRC teams...
One of the FRC Hawaii teams needs to take up your cause. They can contact local church and civic groups (VFW, Ruritan, Rotary, etc.) about getting you better/cheaper accomodations in a church hall or another building with kitchen facilities. They can pull together and provide your meals while you wait this out. While you stay with your team as a chaperone, the Hawaiian mentors can approach the airlines directly, not via telephone. Someone should also contact the public relations department at the Navy Base.

No matter where you are stranded, an FRC team should always be nearby, to help out, and get the ball rolling for you. If none of the above pan out, reply back and I'll see what else I can pull together.
