The Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated (populated) Islands on Earth.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Kauai is the most isolated of the main Hawaiian Islands and a nature lover’s paradise.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I promised my three daughters that when they turned 18, I would take each of them on a mom and daughter trip anywhere in North America. My eldest daughter, Mist, picked New York City<\/a>. Tabs (in the middle) chose Kauai. The two locales couldn’t be more different: one an urban mecca, and the other a wild, tropical mecca. They both proved to be adventures of a lifetime. We navigated the jungle on each occasion: one an urban jungle and the other, a tropical jungle.<\/p>\n

Sunset Dancing at Hanalei Bay<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Hanalei Bay is one of my favourite places on Earth; it is Zen, spectacularly beautiful, and a water-sport lover’s paradise. We danced at sunset on the beach, boogie boarded, sunned our pale bodies on the sand, and tried the surf.<\/p>\n

I’ve been to Hawaii, the Big Island<\/a>, and briefly to Oahu. The Big Island has the most abundant and healthiest coral though, the Kauai vibe truly suits me best. I love the chill, no-hurry attitude. Traffic is a dream, everyone is so polite: cars stop and let you in even when they’ve been waiting longer than you.\"\"<\/p>\n
