I also will say sorry for the bad experience, but you *really* shouldn't leave anything in a car to attract attention or be "steal-able".

Heck here in Seattle someone broke into my car and stole a cake from a bakery (pink box) right outside my house... I was on my way to a party and just stopped atran in to change clothes.

Suze, that would be horrible! Hope it wasn't a custom cake...

Advertising troll..one does not need to book through Perillo Tours to enjoy Hawaii.

This poster just registered on Fodor's and also posted the same kind of comment on the Europe Forum.

Thanks for all your responses! Great information!!!

Suze...do you buy cakes from Borracchini's?

I used to think Maui was my favorite island, but I'm now a bit partial to Kauai. It's such a lush, gorgeous island, and the views on the north shore are spectacular. We spent 7 nights on the North Shore in a condo at Pu'u Poa. When we're staying for a week, we prefer condos because it's easy to go through clothes quickly (hiking, swimming, etc) and nice to have a washer/dryer. Our last 3 nights were at the Grand Hyatt on the South Shore, and it was a gorgeous resort. Great service, awesome pools, and some very good onsite restaurants. Kauai, to me, is what I always imagined Hawaii to look like.

I also really like the Big Island. We usually stay in Waikoloa (beautiful scenery) but it's a long drive to anywhere on the island. The snorkeling on the Big Island is by far the best.
