Hi everyone,
I'm a single guy in my 40's, with a work trip in Honolulu. I was thinking of extending the trip by adding a week of vacation. My usual diving buddies/friends are unable to join me, unfortunately. I was thinking of checking out the Big Island, but was hoping to get some advice before deciding. I've been to Kaua'i before, so will probably check out a different island. Can anyone provide me with input regarding:
1) Which island would be a good choice for someone who wants to avoid touristy places, but doesn't want to be SO isolated from people (since i'll be traveling alone).
2) I plan to do some diving, but also want to do other stuff (e.g., not an all-out gung ho scuba vacation). However, I need ideas/suggestions about places that might be accommodating for a single person traveling along, that may need to buddy up with others.
3) Links to websites/resources for great things to do that are non-touristy and perhaps not widely known to most tourists.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Jeff
