Eric NC,
If you've never been there, one thing I'd recommend doing is the "Road to Hana". It will take one day of your vacation, but you'll see the natural beauty of that island. You'll end up at the
Seven Sacred Pools. It's absolutely breathtaking. You'll also see black sand beaches (from the volcanic runoff). The natives are also very nice, especially if you try to pronounce the hawaiian words correctly (ie every vowel is pronounced especially when they are back-to-back vowels). Treat the natives nice and they will return their natural warmth. Treat them like dirt, you'll have the same experience like if you were in Paris, France refusing to speak French, if you get my drift. Have a great time.
