    Not sure why you would want to go to a place like Honolulu for vacation. Just go to LA and save the money. I’ve worked there and that’s enough for me.

    If I wanted to be around THAT many white people at a beach, I’d go to the Sandy river….you could just go to Venice Beach and save cash.

    LA ocean water is gross.

    And Venice isn't exactly a lot of white people, you're thinking Manhattan Beach

    My wife and I enjoy a couple nights on Ohau, we usually drive around the Island and we enjoy Waikiki I the evening hitting the mai tai bars.
    We then enjoy either Maui, Kauai or TBI for a week or so.

    Honolulu is alright. For a big beach city it is pretty nice. Not my preferred Hawaiian destination for sure, but worth a few days if you have never been or if you only have a few days and your wife likes shopping.

    I prefer Mexico. WAY cheaper, you get treated like royalty and everything doesn’t close at 8pm.

    When we were in Mexico last, we were told by the locals that virtually anyone on a motorcycle was connected to drugs in one way or another. Nonetheless, we're going back in May. We bought in Nuevo Vallarta. and absolutely love it!

    Not a fan of Mexico, probably because I used to go there for work a shit ton and got sick of it.

    Never been to the Gulf side, just PV, Mazatlan, Cabo on a cruise, and Cabo by itself and Acapulco/Mexico City a bunch of times.

    The all inclusive resorts look like a landlocked cruise line. The bars are too cheeseballs, either EDM clubs on the beach or dudes blowing whistles n' shit.

    Hey, you can get some great time shares at great deals on the second-hand market. We’d pick up some if not for investing in a second house already.

    I’ve been to Mexico 5 times, my parents have been close to 20. Neither of us have had the edgy crime aspect affect us in any way.
