not a hater.
Aloha, after all....
Very interesting that 2 people from Hawaii and Honolulu have different opinions on what a "real Hawaii experience" is
As a tourist who absolutely love to visit your fantastic islands, I have to side with
clublounger, but then again everyone has their preference and choice!
I love the vibrancy of Honolulu, with all the great restaurants and fun things to do, along with the beach, and that's why I enjoy it more than my trips to Maui (nothing wrong with Maui, just not as memorable to me as Oahu). And not to mention the unbelievable golf in everything from rain forest to beach courses, and the most incredible golf stores I have seen anywhere in the world!
