This one? I am, it was a long hike!
Hawaii is pretty amazing. I can only describe it as comparable to being in the "slow" South, like a trip to Tennessee while in the rainforest. Everyone is so laid back and pleasant (for the most part). It is however VERY expensive. There are obviously work arounds but if you do the typical tourist like vacation it will cost you. We offset a lot of cost by getting a rental car and good old Garmin and doing all of the sight seeing tours on our own. Also by going grocery shopping. We ate breakfast and lunch in our hotel room purchased from Foodland and then go out for nice dinners.
