I lived on Kauai for a
year, a decade ago, so I’m sure some things have changed, but mostly it’s still
the same. So, in no particular order, although subject to lots of editing
later, here’s a comparison of life on Kauai versus on Maui.
Smaller population.
Kauai has about half the population of Maui, and even though
populations on both islands are growing, I’ve heard that Maui County is the
fastest growing county with new residents. Smaller population means that Kauai
is more rural, with less traffic, less shopping, less jobs, less events, less
dates, less everything except peace and quiet.
Yes. Kauai is quiet. Quiet.
Which sounds a lot like the word Kauai.
