Oahu & Big Island ~or~ Kauai & Big Island

Comments:
: My wife, 11 & 13 year old daughters, and I are coming to Hawaii in mid-July, 2003. My dilemma is that I have 4 free nights at the Waikiki Radisson on Oahu. However, it seems that unless you are not into crowds and shopping that one may have had enough of Oahu after 1 or 2 days. Is there a slower paced Oahu? We want to hike, snorkel, ride bikes, kayak, swim, surf, build sand castles, etc. : At the end of the week we are going to go to the BI to see the volcano, green sand beach, black sand beach, etc. : Two questions : 1) Since we are looking for a laid-back vacation away from the crowds, should we skip the free nights on Oahu and head straight to Kauai or can we find what we are looking for on Oahu? : 2) How many days should we spend on the BI if we want to see the above plus maybe a couple of other must-do places?
