Having flown from the four main islands, whilst on vacation, you might
consider throwing cross-winds into the equation when you make your
decision.

Which islands/airports did you fly in to? Theres a few fun ones here.

What are you talking about?

The fact that our winds are that messed up in Hawai'i, like I said
040@15G35, crosswind component plays a very minor role in my decision
as I've never had a crosswing component in Honolulu or Moloka'i of more
than 10 knots.
