I'm gonna go for it (Hawaii)... Fuck COVID I have NEVER been anywhere in my LIFE [View all]

I'm finally coming into some money and looking at visiting friends in Hawaii!

I'm vaxed and boosted and I have literally never traveled in my life. (Been too busy being a poor single mom, now they are grown and I am free!)

I have friends on Maui and the Big Island... figured I'd bounce between the two (interisland flights are actually not that expensive) and see their personal paradises.
They literally both have huge gardens with food and chickens!
But I also wanna go see volcanos, black sand, etc.

Not too sure about the luau thing.... it seems like exploitation. I'd rather honor the native people and go to a museum or something.

Anyway.... Does anyone have a "must-do" for Hawaii in March?
(already looking into whale watching )
