Not that I've been there, but the more I thought about what you're interested in doing, the more I thought Kauai was the right choice (again, not that you could go wrong) for you. And, frankly, it's quickly moving up on my own to-do list. I so wish 2014 wasn't such an up-in-the-air year for me professionally; I'd love to start putting together our next big trip. We really want to do a self-guided walking tour in the UK with a few days in London tacked on. I've been to London; DH hasn't. After that, maybe Kauai. But I like to get way ahead of myself when it comes to vacation planning!

Have a great time, GLC. I'm really excited for you!!! Be sure to give a trip report when you return.
