Have you been to Hawai'i? (if applicable): Just got back from our first trip... where we definitely fell in love with the beachs and mountains and activities.

What do you like about Hawai'i? All of the outdoorsy activities, snorkeling, body boarding, hiking, waterfalls... nature!! THe people were SO nice most everywhere we went, it was just an amazing experience. My husband wants to move there, and if we didn't have kids, I'd be up for dropping everything for a move RIGHT NOW!! At any rate, we're planning a month or two trip in two years with our five kids (as it will take us that long to save up) We plan on exploring via the internet and communities like this one to get mroe ideas of the best way to go and explore the island next time. W e're not really into the typical touristy thing and LOVED the mroe secluded places we found on the Big Island.

What do you dislike about Hawai'i? The plan ride from here:( And the vog was frusttrating on some days because I really wanted more VIEW of the gorgeous countryside... it was still a wodnerful trip, though!

That would help, eh? We went to "The Big Island" stayed in Kono at a timeshare and drove just about everywhere. We loved Waipio valley and the waterfall, We kayaked with some 'locals' to Cook Pt and went snorkeling there as well as at Puuhonua O Honaunau (sp?) which was AMAZING. We also visited the southern part of the island, the volcanoes and a couple of beaches there and went body boarding at Hapuna (sp?) beach... and visited a couple of well secluded beaches bewteen our resort and the Hapuna beach.

We stayed SO busy, but still felt like we were missing SO much. We're planning for an extended visit with our kids in a year and a half or two.

Yeah the Big Island rocks :D There is always so much to do!
I don't know if you are big on hiking (especially if you have kids depending on how old they are of course) but there are some amazing hiking trails on the Big Island. I'd definitely recommend those :D
