Anyone been to Hawaii?

I am starting to research possiblilties of things I should do in Hawaii. Right now, it's just in the planning stages and not definite but I like to be as prepared as possible. ;) Has anyone been, and have any advice on MUST DOs? I've found LOTS of websites but most are travel agencies and I don't trust their reviews so much. I did find the travel channels top ten lists, but any first hand experiences would help me out so much! :sunny:

I -wish-. :)

My husband was there his last deployment and loved it. He's got duty tonight so not home but I'm sure he can come up with a list of MUST DOs for ya. :)

Which island are you planning to go to? I've been to Oahu... It's beautiful!!! The beaches, the water... It was great.


There is also a shrimp farm there that will fry them up for you fresh out of the water. It was AMAZING.

My cousin is there right now. Her mom's family live there so they get to go visit.. lucky eh? I've never been there though.. it'd sure be nice with the weather we've been having here.

AWESOME! I'd greatly appreciate that. :bow:

I'm also getting my sister to ask a friend of hers that is currently living there. My step sister was there last year as well, so I plan on bugging her as well.

I lived on O'ahu for 6 yrs. Tons of stuff to see. Don't bother with the tourist things in the city get out and expore especially the north and windward sides. I miss it so much. Have fun.

The plan is to take a cruise around the islands, and do some excursions that way. We also planned to stay a couple extra days to do anything that we missed. We're willing to island hop to get to wherever the best stuff is! :D

Karl's aunt and cousin live in Hawaii, I can shoot them an e-mail and get some ideas from them if you'd like. I know his cousin and wife own an internet cafe on the Big Island. I forget the name now though.

Oh the Shrimp Farm I loved that place. I used to stop there all the time and get some.
