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.

id stay away from Oahu completely,bunch of smelly Hawaiians with cars ridiculously low driving around:P(just kidding)

Oahu is a lot more developed than the big island,i was at both Oahu and the big island in June 08.The big island has literally no white sandy beachs,if u find a beach its either coral,green sand(2 mile hike),or its so crowded its not worth it.Oahu is a lot more crowded than the big island but they have beautiful HUGE white sandy beachs.If u go to oahu make sure you go to pearl harbor,its a long wait but it is WELL worth it.Also,if u see a black celica with a wing on it,please throw something at it(pref a egg).Ive heard that Maui is nothing but a tourist island and is full of tourists.
