I did a quick search and didn't find a topic of this nature, correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway:

1) Which island do you live on?

Big Island - Hilo side, recently moved over from O'ahu, but have been here many many times visiting family so it was only a matter of time before I made it here!

2) Which islands have you been to?

O'ahu, Kaua'i, Maui, BI (on my list to visit Moloka'i and Lana'i ASAP)

3) Which island is your favorite, and why? Very tempted to say Kaua'i, but I have to stay true to my first love, the Big Island . Been coming here since I was 12 years old, and have a lot of great memories here. Not to mention, the insane diversity in landscape and climate is unmatched not only in HI, but world-wide. There's just an energy here that I don't feel anywhere else.

I recognize that many people may be living on their favorite island. Hopefully that is true for everyone, but with around 70% of the state's population living on one island, surely there are some who are not.

1) Which island do you live on?

The island of misfit toys.
(Oregon)


2) Which islands have you been to?

Hawaiʻi, Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Oʻahu, Kauaʻi & Niʻihau.

3) Which island is your favorite, and why?

Even though I have family on Oʻahu and friends on Hawaiʻi, Kauaʻi is my favorite. I love all of what Kauaʻi has to offer and for my wife and I, it just feels the most comfortable to us. That said, more than likely we probably won't end up living there. That doesn't mean we won't work our butts off and try to make that happen!

Wow, how was it? It sounds like something cool to do, if for no other reason to say you have.

Hawaii

2) Which islands have you been to?
Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, Kauai

3)Which island is your favorite and why?
I love Hawaii Island for many reasons, but my favorite is Kauai. I, too, would live there if I had the money. I love the GREEN and all of the many beautiful big wide white sand beaches. And having Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali coast are just pluses. So many great places to hike!

1) Which island do you live on?

Taipa Island, not part of the Hawaiian Islands.

2) Which islands have you been to?

In the Hawaiian Islands, I've been to Oahu, Big Island, Maui, Kauaí.

3) Which island is your favorite, and why?
I'm in love with Oahu and Honolulu. I love cities, and Honolulu is an intoxicating city to me.

Next up for me is the Big Island. Mostly because Hilo is attractive to me. Not nearly as attractive as Honolulu is to me though.

Additionally, jobs are in Oahu, and cost of living is lower on the Big Island. Maui and Kauai were not attractive to me because of both the high cost of living and few jobs.
