Been back only twice since then.. not enough. Wonderful place, wonderful people. Visited Oahu, Maui and Kauai, this time will make it to the Big Island. I found cheap lodging, not hard if you do your homework, and hung out with the locals.
Hawaii became a state in 1959 when I was 11, and I made plans right then to get there. Took a while, but I made it.
