When one thinks of Kauai, a slower pace of times gone by comes to mind. Its gentle sea breezes and fragrant flowers cannot be forgotten. This is a lovely, amiable place where memories are made that will last a lifetime.

Who can forget stopping to watch wild chickens forage along the road, the surprise of finding fresh Lychee at a tiny roadside stand north of Lihue, or their first look at Waimea Canyon in their Jeep Wrangler?

Could one snorkel amongst fish more colorful than the ones found swimming in the clear, warm waters of the south shore?

A bouquet of fresh-cut island flowers from one of the several farmers’ markets is a lovely memory. So is a hike up Kawaikini—even though you got rained on coming back down. Memories like these are made best when one has the freedom to explore Kauai on one’s own schedule.
