Well, now that you know about all of the ladies of the night.....
I would think about trying a condo. I've been to kauai, maui and the big island 4 times in the past couple of years. My g/f and I always stay at a condo, which is a lot less than what you'd spend on a hotel. For $100-$150 a day, you can get a very nice place.
We go to the Costco (on maui and kona)and buy some breakfast stuff, water, snacks, etc. and usually have breakfast in and lunch and dinner out. I think we spend about $2500-$3000 on each trip including everything (plane ticket, condo, rental car, meals, etc.) for stays between 11 and 16 days.
Kauai: quiet. Best place to go when you're frazzled and need to decompress. Best place to eat is the Green Garden. Their Teriyaki prime rib is the best I've had. I think we ate there at least 4 times in 11 days.
Maui: More places to go and things to see. La Haina is fun to visit at least a couple of time. You should definitely up to Haleakala (spelling?) Good combination of being able to do nothing or have fun. Best place to eat local food is Da Kitchen. Not too expensive and huge portions.
Kona: Nice also with enough stuff to keep you busy. We've been to maui twice now and we're going to make it to Kona again this fall/winter.

haha.you guys make oahu sound like it's so horrible...every city has it's own drug problems....and hookers with botos...and....all of that...I wouldn't be too worried about the crime in waikiki...just use your commen sense.
monorail at pearl ridge? did I read that correctly? is that a tourist attraction now? pearl ridge mall is weak......it's a 2 minute ride from one side of the block to the other...
your time might be better spent in ala moana mall if you're staying in waikiki, cuz otherwise, you'll be sitting in traffic for an hr bitching about what a ****in waste of time that monorail was with a sore right foot from pumping your brakes non-stop.
hope it helps.
