Indeed. See Don't let Ignorant People vote"" thread and MajorBean has decided that I am indeed arrogant and an elitist.

I will bet that you are often accused of arrogance. People who do not know you well, in the face of your reticence to discuss your own deepest feelings, have a way of misjudging your basically kind nature.

Ahh, I'm in good company then - I've been judged an unloving and unfit mother apparently (see Just So You All Know thread)! 
I loved that Don't Let Ignorant People Vote thread - you and AV had a great discussion going!

Next time go to any of the other islands- They are all much better. I recomend the sunny side of kauai, United has nonstops on weekends to LIH- It feels a lot more like Hawaii than Oahu.

Oh my dear VL.........what a can of worms you just opened. Contrary to what you believe Oahu IS the REAL Hawaii ONLY IF you know what to do and where to go. You see I used to live there so I have a feeling I know just a bit more about Hawaii than you do. I lived on Maui, honeymooned and visited Kauai more times than I can count, been to Lanai (boring), been to the Big Island a few times, and have been to Oahu more than 30 times (I have family that lives there) so I KNOW that I know far more about Hawaii that you could possibly claim too (even though you will try). LOL
The reason people say that Oahu is not the real Hawaii is because they don't know where to go. Oahu has everything that you can find on any of the other islands (with maybe the exception of the Big Island which is not my favorite). I know all the places to go to see the real beauty Oahu has to offer. I love Kauai, but when you have kids it has it's limits. If you friend me on Facebook you can see some cool pictures. I know, I know Facebook is gay if you're a guy. Funny, I guess Twitter is manly huh? lol

Yup! Most days I even like me too!Rockdoc Franz wrote: Such is life. i'll not loose sleep over someone's opinion formed exclusively from postings on line. i take it you are secure in the knowledge of who you really are.
I too recommend Kaua'i - it's my favorite (I may be biased though, I got married there). But honestly, each one has its own uniqueness and is worth exploring. Maui is way too commercial for me, but has the most beautiful round-the-island drive that takes all day (and the most colorful beaches). Moloka'i is rustic, off-the-beaten path. Good if you really want to get away from it all, in a camping kind of way, not in a luxurious sort of way (good history lesson too - check out the old leper colony). The macadamia and coffee farms are cool. The Big Island has the most diverse landscape and is definitely worth the trip if you love volcanoes at all - seeing the multiple flows down the hillsides makes the eruption so real - you can just imagine the lava rolling down toward you. Driving right up to where the current eruption flowed across the highway and buried it, and then looking back and realizing that there's only one way out - the way you came in, and if the flow shifted while you were there...it's impossible not to get the shivers! Oahu is nice because it has everything that is quintessentially Hawaiian - great surf, beautiful beaches, snorkeling, restaurants, hiking, gardens, etc. Never been to Lanai.Vice Lord wrote: Next time go to any of the other islands- They are all much better.

Sounds like paradise!Next time we go were going to Molikai for a month. There's nothing there but a few golf courses, a general store, a few nice places to stay and a beach. I'll do nothing but golf, fish, grill the fish, and sip cold beer, and my wife will do nothing but make salads, eat grilled fish, and read her Kindle book.
