Lanikai, is your opinion limited to Oahu? Would other islands retain more of "the old Hawaii" feeling?
loa ae!

lahaina, fuggeddaboudit!
Has turned into another L.A. Too many mainlanders. It has a rep for being ruined. Very unfortunate considering what it coulda been, and esp. its lineage as a whaling town.
Paia is cool. check it out.
Niihau
does not exist. don't think about it.
kahoolawe
was military bombing site.
filanally turned over to the kanaka maoli for da malama aina activities and rituals. long way to go, but.
Molokai; known as da old Hawaii, da real hawaii.
home o da famous molokai mule rides...
royal coconut groves, fab beaches, lotta unspoiled country. No its not 50 or 60, unless we tawkin bout da 1850s 1860...
Kauai
of course has da Cocoplams site where elvis filmed a good part of Blue Hawaii...
caves, mission houses, waimea valley, harbors, falls, rain forests, nat. parks...etc..
yep. ironic that the most popular destination for the tourons, Wakywaky beach is the MOST un Hawaiian polace of all Hawaii! Many of them during their one week stay NEVER leave the area!
Thanks to corporate america, and the insatiable greed of lawyers, developers, polititiansand the state and the city. so do whatcha can and "accidentally" knock over one o those damned segways next time yer there.
