I am frequently asked about the island of Kauai. In particular, I am asked about my favorite things to see and do while on island. I actually spend most of my time at HomeDepot, but I have complied this list for you. However, even on the slow laid-back island of Kauai, things do change especially since COVID broke. While I will do my best to keep this list updated, I strongly recommend that you use it as a starting point and do your own homework. ~ Aloha! Tammy
