Anyone ever travel to Hawaii?

Spent a year in Hawaii in the 90's. The first six months were great. Got Island fever shortly there after and didn't enjoy the last 6 months. Transportation is something you really need to think about. I lasted about 2 weeks and then bought a motorcycle. Couldn't stand waiting for the bus all the time. Renting a car get's expensive fast. I know people who shipped their car over and back. Don't know the cost but apparently it was worth it. Had to share my appartment and pay a portion of the rent. Was near downtown Honolulu and worked at Kapiolani Hospital for Women and Children. Very nice people there. It's been remodeled since I was there, but L&D was in the Basement and the ER had only 3 rooms. Hope to go back someday but will not stay more than the 6 month assignment. Oahu is probably the best Island for the first assignment. Maui or Hawaii will be my second assignment if I ever get back.
