Is Hawaii laid back like the Carribean?
My trip is finally close to 3 1/2 weeks out. Have never been to Hawaii and am planning on spending 4 days HNL, 8 days Kona, 8 days Kauai. We booked our flights BF with Continental to try to a more relaxing way to send hours on a plane. (I've never flown BF on CO but have flown FC on US many times hence why we decided to try the BF experience). We've enjoyed beautiful beaches with facilities, great beach cocktail service, wonderful restaurants. (not to mention great jewelry shopping on SXM). How will this compare? I have read, and read, and read, but I really can't get a 'feel' for Hawaii. I am wondering if we will get the feeling of being in an 'exotic' place or will we get the feeling of being in the carribean? Sorry if this seems so basic but just curious as to the 'feeling' you get when you are in Hawaii.
