Hawaii versus The Caribbean

Hawaii for us

We spent 10 years traveling from Vancouver Canada to the Carribean first on our own and then with kids in tow. The last couple of times we did not feel comfortable in terms of safety and food choices, so decided to try Hawaii.

Fast forward another 8 years, ad we purchased 5 weeks of TS and now have bought a vacation rental at Mauna Lani on the BI that will eventually be our 3 month home. Guess we're there for the long run.

We'll still go back to the Carribean, but Hawaii definately calls us. Try it once for sure and make sure you explore with an open mind. May not have white sand beaches but there's something great about the land and the culture. Check the flights via Toronto as sometimes they are actually quite reasonable.
 
We prefer HA. There is enough on any of the main islands to enjoy for 2 weeks. Esp. for your first trip.
