No gators, snakes, sandy sinkholes, or annual hurricane damages in Hawaii.
Hawaii has more scenic climate zones to choose from - desert, rainy or snowy mountain tops, cool breezy cliffside living, beside the obvious tropical beachfront/island that they share. Lots more black barren landscape - near Hilo, South End, Kailua, and some of the fresher lava flow on the Puna side.
No Disneyworld or Busch Gardens in Hawaii. No waterfalls (free to view) in Florida, but much more fresh waterfront there (like the Everglades National Park).
Very different music and language in Hawaii (I know there are reggae/Cyndi Lauper concerts, sometimes but I mean the ukulele and Don Ho type heard no where else) so you need a special dictionary to comprehend what is going on.
Many different international cultures in Hawaii (Japanese, Polynesian, Haole - not the majority, Portuguese, Puerto Rican, etc. I bought a cookbook that outlines a slew of influences from the railroad or sugar cane plantation immigrants). Where else can Spam be served when you eat out?
