To Wax or Not to wax...And We're Not Talking Floors

Ladies....well, and qualified gentlemen, I have a question.  Should I wax pertinent areas before heading to Hawaii?  Please keep in mind that having my eyebrows done with thread brought tears to my eyes.  Anyhoo, I hate shaving, but I think every day in Hawaii is bathing suit day, and I don't want to have to deal with it.  What are your thoughts?  Underarms? Bikini? Legs? All of the above? None of the above?  I don't even know how much this costs, recovery time, how long it lasts, etc.  Basically I am an uneducated soul and could use your advice.

I'll go ahead and say thank you in advance....oh, and I'll probably end up blogging about it if I get it done.
