Replying to Hawai'i

Anybody who's ever been to Hawai'i, put all your experiences and opinions in this thread. I am thinking about applying for transfer to the University of Hawaii at Manoa after my freshman year of college. I've never been there before but I'm going twice this year so that will determine whether I go to school there or not. It's always been a place that's really fascinated me so I figure why not go to college down there and see what goes from there.
