Think ima do London for the Raider game and also traced my ancestors to London back in the 1700’s which is kinda cool. Barcelona I’m not sure about safe, heard it is the pick pocket capital of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 How would you guys rate Hawaii compared to other trips? I never really wanted to do it cause it’s really overdone but seems beautiful and relaxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oahu is overpopulated, Maui is boring, and on the Big Island, you could do a Blue Hawaiian helicopter ride (which is admittedly awesome) but theres not much else. It doesnt have anything that Florida doesnt IMO execpt if you want to fly over a volcano and see lava, which is cool. Hononuma Bay is pretty cool for snorkeling, but there are so many people there, and ive done snorkeling better other places Maybe Kuwaii or the other small island is better. I heard it's less touristy. If you go to Oahu, Maki Pu beach has some pretty big waves. Wikiki is totally flat. I dont know. Its just not worth the long flight for me.

I've always wanted to hit Tonga for the south Pacific experience. It and Samoa are way less visited than Hawaii, and they're in a similar area of the world with awesome fishing and seemingly friendlier locals. Unfortunately, it costs a ton to fly down there.

You might be doing it wrong Kauai is the best island of the bunch. Its not over-developed at all and there's tons to do from the Kalalau trail to the Waimea Canyon, to barking sands beach The North Shore of Kauai is stupendous. The pic below is the NaPali coast on Kauai which you reach via the spectacular Kalalau Trail The 2nd pic is Waimea Canyon, called the " Grand Canyon of the Pacific" And if you really wanna get off the beaten path, go to Molokai Island. Its the least visited island and has amazing beauty including Halawa canyon and the 2000 ft cliffs at Kalaupapa. When we arrived in Molokai, we went to the beach to watch sunset. Not another human in sight for 3 miles, had the place to ourselves 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I’m still pissed about Yosemite. We did a road trip up PCH and then back down the west side of the state last August and the fires closed Yosemite, so I missed it. One of these days....

We were there a couple years back and even though the Park was open, coudn't see anything still worth the effort though, its spectacular 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
