thanks all for your comments.. its nice to read comments from people in hawaii.. even though we essentially stayed in the tourist mecca of Waikiki.. it was a really relaxing and enjoyable time for us - even though we slept on an air mattress..

more to come from the other states we went to when i have time to edit them.. cheers..

I love Hawaii, just got back from my most recent visit last month and I'm already planning my next. Hawaiian Islands are a great place and only a 5 hour flight away.

What a lovely place. The toilet door sign made me laugh - the guy had a hawaiian shirt on lol. Watching a sunset seemed so cliched but it really is the most beautiful thing in the world. glad you enjoyed yourself Cain. :-)

Yep. Im native Hawaiian. I would say taro tastes a little bland, but it definitely has a unique flavor. and like you say... an acquired taste that you get if you grew up eating it.

i guess that "poi" is an acquired taste for tourists..as a tourist, Hawaii was like paradise, beautiful islands, lovd laying on Wakiki(sp) beach and looking off to see Diamond Head..are you native Hawaiian??

So, You've eaten wall paper paste? Poi, or mashed taro root tastes great. It's got a slight sweetness, but people who are accustomed to foods with lots of salt, fat and sugar, definitely wouldn't like it. I grew up eating poi, and my mouth waters for it. As for wall paper paste... i'm not sure anyone has ever eaten that.
