I've been to Hawaii twice. it is gorgeous. I went the first time during the 4th of July holiday, this was fun, the second time I went during Christmas, this is very interesting, it's still beautiful, but this is their rainy season, but the hustle and bustle of Christmas is interesting. The drivers will freak you out, road rage like you've never seen before.
I plan on going within the next 5 years .
Hawaii sound nice but I am kinda done with resort style holidays .
