Hawaii Vacation, looking for advice Options

[jimmykay]

I'm hoping for some help from the Hawaii guys or anyone else that has visited the islands.

My wife and I are planning a vacation to Hawaii in the next month or so and we're thinking about Hawaii.

Which Island would be the best to stay at?
What are some things we must do while we're there?
What are some things or places to avoid or watch out for?

I've been looking around at some stuff online and I would like some input from some locals.

Oahu is the main most industrialized island. I do suggest island hopping to the Big Island also. Volcanos National Park
Hike up Diamond head/Hanauma Bay, Pearl Harbor Site, Pali Battle Lookout, Go to some Luau's, come to the Polynesian Cultural Center (i can get you a good discount), Eat some Kahuku Giovanni Shrimp (10secs away from my house), drive my car , take pics with my car , Jump off Waimea rock, eat shave ice, watch the sunset, walk around waikiki.

You can start my side and work your way East and visit some places and eat the food, then go south to more sites, then west until Pearl Harbor then North again, then back to your hotel

if you need a guide let me know. i'll request a day(s) off.

AVOID WAIANAE WEST SIDE AREA!!!! also avoid starring at the scenery while driving. always carry your valuables, never leave them in your vehicle.
Avoid the shaddy areas in waikiki.

But most definitely YOU HAVE TO HIT UP NORTH SHORE my grounds Hahaha

I'll call around my CCO guys and see if i can pull some strings
