To be honest, there really isn't a lot to do ... plus I just don't feel safe going anywhere anyways. Contrary to popular belief, the locals here (native Hawaiians that is) are EXTREMELY rude, condescending&racist, especially towards people who are white. My best friend has had many Hawaiians come up to her&tell her to "Go back to the mainland where you belong"!!! If you go into "their" parts of Hawaii (which is pretty much everywhere that is not a military base) you will be asked to leave&never come back. Eek, it's horrible! So I guess that's why I'm bored a lot ... can't really go anywhere if someone is going to tell me to leave asap! The only safe place to go is Honolulu, but it's such a pain in the a** to drive down there, so I never go down there anyways. Lol, sorry this is kind of a rant here ... I just feel like there's this false image of how Hawaii is when really it's nothing like that at all!
