IMPROVED: Though, I agree with the first poster, the question really is "...choose for what?" I live on Maui. I love Maui, but O'ahu has many thigns that Maui does not. Take into consideration things like:
- local customs and living, or more universal life styles
- an urban lifestyle (like in Hono), or a more laid back lifestyle even in
LaHaina (Maui)
- more population (O'ahu) - less population (Maui)
- which is prettier - both great)
- O'ahu is more expensive
- and more...........
(first response) Maui without a doubt!
