Kauai is one of my husband's and my favorite places to vacation. We're not that hugely world traveled, so there may be other places I like just as much if not more, but Kauai will always be special to us because it was where we honeymooned. We've been back two times since, this last time being just this past week, over the MLKJr holiday weekend, Wednesday through Monday. Flying from Los Angeles, one of the closest departure points on the mainland, its not too bad a flight, though there aren't enough non-stop directly to Kauai. We had to change planes in Honolulu, and while not a long layover, it still makes the trip several hours longer, cutting in to our day on the island. Oh well.
