Well, you didn't get "upcountry".. kinda like being in Montana, but about 30 degrees nicer. And watching sunrise on HaleAkala is magnificent.
If you really want snow head over to the big island in winter. They do have snow up by the observatory...
And wild deer and turkey roam on Lanai, which is also kinda like being back in Connecticut at the end of summer.
And I do NOT think you're going to find anywhere near the number of bikinis worn in Maine as you will find on the beaches here in Hawaii..
Aloha.
