Will you give me some advice on good areas for my vacation in Hawaii?

I will be going to Hawaii in the summer of 2011 with about 10 people or so.


I am supposed to be planning the trip to get the approximate cost, but I do not know anything about Hawaii.





If you have been there, what is a great place to stay? (like cities)


What was the cost of your trip?





And if you are not busy, will you help me find a trip package on expedia.com or something?


We will depart from Salt Lake City, Utah





Thanks So Much!! (:Will you give me some advice on good areas for my vacation in Hawaii?
i went 3 years ago. I stayed on Maui the whole time, and loved it!!! taking a helicopter tour is awesome, but a plane tour is awful. they're so cramped with little air flow. We went on the road to Hana and that was a little boring but it had some nice spots. it was a day trip, FYI. then we went up that mountain on Maui whose name is super complicated. that was cool at the top but once again, a boring drive. then we went snorkeling on a catamaran trip and a kayaking trip and those were both so much fun!!!Will you give me some advice on good areas for my vacation in Hawaii?
I went to Waikiki. They have a lot of stores to shop at. But, the prices for their things cost a little more than any other state in the USA. You can do a lot of things.
You'll see Dog the Bounty Hunter in Hawaii or Denver, Colorado.
the beaches......and hawaiian restaurants....never been there but thats the stuff ppl go there for
