a review of Oahu as a vacation destination

state: state, Texas
Realname: Seth
items: Of all the islands of Hawaii, the one to visit is Oahu. Home to the state's capital city, Honolulu, Oahu boasts of many miles of beaches and resorts. Honolulu is the largest of all the Hawaiian cities, and unlike the other islands and their towns, there are many varities of food, shopping, lodging, activities, entertainment, and more. Oahu is the only island to have interstate highways (H1, H2, and H3), and there are many other things to do on Oahu as well. For example, there is a place where you can have shaved ice. I forgot what the name of it was, but I tried it before, and it was GOOD!
I went to Oahu (and the Big Island) back in August of 1996. I had flown there on an American Airlines DC-10 nonstop from my home area, Dallas/Fort Worth. This also shows that from almost any major metro area in the other 49 states (including Alaska, if applicable), you can get to Honolulu International Airport and either stay on Oahu or connect on to other Hawaiian islands (or countries if using the island for a stopover). I even stayed at the Royal Hawaiian (the other part of the hotel that's not pink but more 60s-70s style) for my Oahu stay.
To sum it all up, Oahu is the Hawaiian island of choice for first-timers or returning tourists.
