I actually joined about 10 years ago but only posted a few times and I don't think I ever introduced myself. It looks like this board has suffered the same fate as many other message boards since social media came on the scene, but here goes anyway...
I live in northern California and first visited Oahu when I was 16 with my high school baseball team, in 1985. Next visit was in 1992 for a friend's wedding, and my wife and I became engaged on that trip as well. Next was Maui and Kauai for our honeymoon in 1995, and then pretty regular trips since then. We don't quite make it every year, but almost. We usually visit Maui now and we have a timeshare there. We can trade it out to visit other places, but we never have.
Hawaii grabbed me from that first trip. The people, the feel, everything. I know us mainlanders can cause problems, but my family and our friends always try to be respectful of everyone and everything when we visit.
Mahalo!
