I like that he is pretending she wants to spend time with him in Hawaii. I think we all know she just wants to go somewhere warm with a beach and an ocean!!!

As others have mentioned, my favorite thing about the island is the fish and fruit. I could eat poke every day, and pretty much do when I'm there. Even Safeway will have like thirty different kinds. I get local fruit for smoothies and make them about every day. There are several local farmer's markets around the island, find a schedule and hit up a nearby one to get your fruit.
There's a Costco on the island, just south of the airport. Might be worth the stop before you head north, it's pretty far to make the commute from Princeville just to go shop. I'd make a run before I headed north.
We stay at the south end in Poipu. Would be worth a drive down there one day, just be sure to avoid rush hour going in either direction. Only one road going north and south, it can get really busy at the wrong times. The north end is more lush, but has more rain. The south end is in the rain shadow and generally sunnier, but not as tropical.
Head to poipu beach if you go to the south end. Right there you have world class snorkeling at poipu beach itself, baby beach is next door (no waves, good for little kids), a good surf spot just west of Poipu Beach, and a great body surfing/ boogie boarding beach at Brenneke beach to the east. All adjoining, within about a quarter mile of each other. Again, worth the drive to spend the day there one day, particularly if it's raining up north.

Polihale State park, on west side of island. Road in is rough but worth the trip. Seven miles of beach between Barking Sands Mil. base and cliffs of Waimea Canyon area. During the week not many people , well worth checking out. I have watched pigs moving around in early evening, on the cliffs above.

My buddy just got back, he and his wife hunt hogs and some kind of goats or sheep when they go.

If you have military affiliation, Barking Sands is an amazing military beach. Miles of sand with very few if any people. When you walk on the sand it sounds like dogs barking
