Im also a foodie so which got better restaurants?
if you like to walk at night and enjoy city life and restaurants then california, but if you like relaxation laid back places were you just walk the beach at night and see mountains and endless nature with small local places to eat then hawaii.
I am a native Californian, in so.cal 20 million people live in San Diego,Oc,La counties so unless you want to spend all your time in the car go to Hawaii. Rent a car drive where ever you want. Stay in a nice hotel, enjoy the best beaches you will ever see, you won't spend that much more on food, besides there is a Costco right outside the airport, just stock up for your stay and you won't have to eat out at every meal. Besides the Calif beaches all have cold water all year round and Hawaiian beaches avg close to 80 degrees in the summer. ENJOY
I think you should go with California because there are many more places to go to depending on what part of California you're going to. If you go to Southern California you can go to Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Malibu, Downtown LA is always interesting, Hollywood, Beverly Hills Laguna Beach, Seaworld in San Diego and many more places... Plus Southern California is very diverse so there are plenty of restaurants that serve good food to choose from. Plus the weather is great!
Both are nice. Hawaii is tropical most all of the year and mostly beaches. Cali has much more diversity and I think more to do. You have the Redwoods, Mountains, Deserts and Beaches. So, it truly depends upon what you are looking for, but with that said, I am going to say Cali! Especially for food. Great mexican food in Cali and it is way cheaper to eat out.
Neither, for a foodie, travel to the caribbean and the all inclusive hotel.
