I lived near Pearl City, Oahu, for a while, and having been to Kauai, maui, hawaii, even kaho'olawe many, many times (I have been to Maui 74 times, at last count) I still like Oahu the best..beaches, cool valleys inland, lot's of nightspots, the ala moana mall, waikiki...I feel that Oahu has the greatest mix and variety...maui and Kuai are great for just relaxing, and having Mai-Tai's..of course...By the way, I never paid to go to any of these places..(I ain't rich) I was stationed in the military there, and drove Army Landing Craft in between the above-mentioned places for almost two years...so I kind of cheated!

At the time, (the early to mid 80's) hotel street in Honolulu was the most fun, and the raunchiest! Also called "shit" street, it's in Chinatown, and at the time, still had big-band hits on the jukeboxes in the many "buy-me-drinkee" bars located there....us service-men called them that, by the way..'cause the waitresses were also "business-women" and would always greet you with "Hey G.I, buy me drinkee?"
Meanwhile, big hawaiian guys would ask us pleasantly if we "liked beef".....if anyone asks you that, always answer "NO"!!
