Hawaii

[LrgmouthShad]

I don't think there is a state that I would dislike being in more

[Junger]

Which island? I’m leaving big island today after two weeks. I enjoyed it for the most part. But not looking forward to the flight home.

[LrgmouthShad]

@Junger all of them I guess? My roommate told me that he was going to hawaii with his girlfriend and I just thought "Dang, I'm sorry"

 

All of the allure of Hawaii does not appeal to this guy. Just felt like I had to get it off my chest

Never been there, no desire to ever go. Had a buddy that went to college there and stayed a few years after...5 or 6 years total. Said it was cool when he was younger but would never move back now.

I like Maui.  I would go back in a heartbeat if not for ride.  I hate airplanes and boats are too slow.

[Bird]

Wife and I have been all over the tropics, Bahamas, Caribbean and keep going back to the Hawaii islands.......our favorite.

Are you being serious? ?

[LrgmouthShad]

@Bird yeah man I'm not sure I could explain it to you but I dislike the beach and anything tropical. So Hawaii seems like hell

I’m fairly positive that the humidity in Texas the past few weeks has been nothing short of tropical.

 

I’ve never been to Hawaii but I would like to go someday for a vacation. It’s expensive though so it might be a while.

[LrgmouthShad]

@gimruis humidity wise yeah it’s been muggy. I don’t particularly like Texas either. Just ain’t pretty

 

I like thick woods and flattish land, but with some rolling hills

You just described most of western Wisconsin. It’s lush, rolling hills mixed with patches of agriculture and stands of timber. Stunning country to say the least.

@LrgmouthShad tropical/beach is not my scene at all either. Much rather be up in the mountains in Canada than on the tropics.

My wife and I recently went to Maui. I truly felt I was in a foreign country. The weather was great and the landscape amazing. But the people (outside of those in the tourism industry), well let’s say they don’t know much about southern hospitality. 
 

Regardless, we would go again if the flight wasn’t so long.

Maybe you should live up in the big island mountains! We went to volcano national park…..Huge difference in climate…50s, dry, and wind gusts steady at 20-30mph.

I have a customer that is from Hawaii and recently went back. Apparently there is some tension between the locals and the tourists, I think some have had enough of mainlanders trashing their island and clogging up roads with traffic. She sent me an extremely detailed email of all her experiences and several other first hand accounts

My parents went there for a wedding in March and said the same thing.  The locals are not real friendly to the tourist crowd.  Kind of odd too, since tourism is really what keeps them going from an economic stand point.  They'd go bankrupt real quick without the tourists.

[TnRiver46]

Perhaps they’d rather be bankrupt than covered in traffic and garbage 

 

im just guessing, I work for tourism dollars on weekends

My wife loves Hawaii, and we have been to the big island, Maui, Kauai, and O'ahu.

 

We always stay at AirBnB or VRBO's, and talk with locals a lot. Rent vehicle and drive all over, as much as we can. We like to explore.

 

Great place to visit and vacation...I would not want to live there. Multitude of reasons...

 

If you can get a native Hawaiian to talk openly about their situation, it is pretty eye opening. Lots of interesting history.

My mother-in-law went every year since 1993 until the year she died in 2017.  After my father-in-law stopped going, she started taking her kids and grand kids.  My wife has been about six times and my kids have all been three or four times each.  I never went...   They all loved it every time.  I should have gone at least once I guess.
