I went to Oahu a couple times for work. I didn't like it. Big cities, bad traffic, everything California expensive. I thought a vacation would be much better spent in Central America or something. But I got invited to see the big Island by some locals I was working with, and man, that place was AWESOME! It was still expensive, but I think it was worth it because it was so beautiful. They had a jungle, a desert, a mountain, a beach. It was just cool. The people were nice and calm too. Not like all the rush and rudeness of Oahu.

Oahu is the opposite of the other places. The name means “gathering place” in the Hawaiian language. And people have gathered here. Over 60% of the entire state live on Oahu. So it’s pretty congested in and around Honolulu.
