Just returned last month from Maui - got out the day the Hurricane came. Anything Hawaii is good - hotel, house, any island, I don't care. I could live there. Most people say they couldn't. Well I would give it a shot. I'm a creature of habit, I find something I love and I don't mess with it. I don't mind hotels/pools/room service/etc. In fact, I love it. Give me the Westin in Kaanapali and I am happy. Give me that house on stilts HCP and I am happy. Just get me to Hawaii.
Yeah, I was just going there solo for a wedding (I actually chilled in Oahu and then flew to Maui for 3 days), so that was probably better for me, being able to hit up Moose's and chill around town. Cheap too, like $99 a night. I actually drove out to those Kaaanpali resorts, and around the Island, but staying in Lahaina was more my speed. Walked around, checked out the Banyan Tree, even though there were tourists, I felt more like a local since I didn't have to worry about parking, etc.
A lot of people don't like Oahu/Waikiki because its crowded, but I absolutely love it. If you want peace and quiet, sure, you do not go to Waikiki. But its still very "Hawaiian" and has some of the best food you could ever imagine. You can drive not too far to Kailua, a cool little town to the West of Diamond Head, go to Pearl Harbor (worth it), and still enjoy the beach.
Not always. This coming time I’m staying where a bunch of locals gather for the surf spot. Stayed here before and it’s all local.
Yeah. If by ”guttah” you mean you’re the white man’s equivalence to “Poppa Doc” or “Clarence” in “8Mile”.
Anyone ever use Silvercar? When I go to Vegas in November, may consider renting an Audi A4 from them. I've driven them before, but just wanna try one out again.
