I recently started a thread about Kauai in February, but I am now considering The Big Island instead. Several reasons, including the possibility that Kauai may be too wet for my tastes.
Also it looks, from surfing the VRBO listings that there are more options on Hawaii.
A few of the more intriguing options are little set-aside guest cottages on farms. A couple on the northeast coast north of Hilo. I gather this is the wetter side.
A couple on coffee estates on the west side, near Kona, which I gather is dryer and warmer.
So, how wet is the NE part? Are we talking "rain all day, day after day" or rain at night, or most likely "it's a crap shoot"?
I'd welcome any insights from those who have spent time on Hawaii.
