As for flights, I'm thinking fly into HNL, stay 1/2 days, then fly HNL-->ITO...then home from ITO (Hilo)?
I drive regularly in NYC & NJ, to say what Hawaii has is traffic is almost laughable. It all depends upon where you're coming from.

I agree that it can be heavy, particularly between Waikiki and the city/airport during rush hours, it's not enough to keep me from driving.

But again, it depends upon what you're used to.
