    Got into the big island last night from Tennessee. I'm amazed it how many Toyotas there are here.i'm at IHOP eating breakfast and just saw a sharp double cab tundra pro, Tacomas everywhere and a lot of older Toyota trucks lifted,smaller 2 wheel drive Toyotas and a lot of Rav 4's!!!

    Sounds great! I spent a couple weeks at Kaneohe Bay, Oahu years ago. Had some friends of mine in Anchorage that would go to the big island for vacation and they'd rent a Wrangler to see the sites!

    The big island is great, way less congested than Oahu which to me feels overcrowded and the traffic sucks ass. The big island is bigger and at some points I didn’t have cell service (Verizon). I think Toyota is the official car brand for Hawaiian people, lots of Toyotas everywhere. Not so many tundras but plenty of tacos.

    If you make it to the Big Island, specifically Hilo, treat your family with a Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour! Very reasonable in price which also includes a video recording of the flight including narration and all onboard conversations with pilot. :thumbsup:
    Enjoy your vacation!

    My wife was starving this morning and when you see how much resort store prices are then Walmart is a great alternative. We are going to try a Hawaiian favorite tommorow for breakfast. It has rice, sausage and a fried egg on top. I can't remember what it was called.

    Go to Hapuna Beach, great place, Go hotel hopping on the gold coast kona side check out their beaches, hammocks The Prince Kuhio right on Hapuna beach.. I think its mile marker 77/78 on the 11 you'll see cars parked follow the trail about a mile off road and you'll run into a lagoon where the sea turtles nest they are protected from rough water and sharks because the tide makes a natural barrier and you can swim with em

    Have a great time!
    We were in the Waikiki area a few years back. It was OK for a first trip to the islands but crowded and congested as all hell. Can't wait to go back to Hawaii some time in the future but definitely to another island.
