maaannn... i spent 2 weeks in Hawaii exactly one year ago this time.. trip was amazing, I don't anticipate ever making it back anytime soon - but it'snow really a goal of mine to be able to afford it again someday.
One week in Kauai and another on the big island (kona)... really wasn't feeling Kona too much, it was alright - charming or whatever, but real touristyfeeling... whereas on Kauai, it was like a tropical paradise... lots of small communities, very local atmosphere - great food, amazing beaches, lots of greatviews, super relaxing. I'd go back to either in a second, and I want to see the other Islands at some point too - but man, Kauai was like heaven to me.
