I would HIGHLY recommend the Big Island - less crowded, gorgeous beaches, amazing lava, less "developed", the road to Hilo is worth it, Kona is neat, horse riding in the Waimea (sp?) valley was beyond. We stayed here, at the Mauna Kea: http://princeresortshawaii.com/mauna...ort-hawaii.php. Very private, amazing snorkeling. Staying in Kona would probably be fun too - plenty of condos there, which might be more affordable than a hotel (food).

It's called the Big Island?? I will google it and check it out, sounds good. I def like to visit places that are less developed since I live in New York. Why would a condo be more affordable than a hotel? Just wondering..can you rent the condo for like a week?
