Perhaps you are hankering for a sun-n-sand vacation. You might think of Hawaii, but you might have the mistaken notion that it's too crowded.

You need to find out more about Kauai, the least-crowded major island in Hawaii. Let me tell you 10 reasons why:

You and your kids may really enjoy simple snorkeling. Just put on mask or goggles at any beach and watch the colorful fish.

2. You can find great surf on Kauai and also tame wavelets. Those are on the sheltered south side.

3. You can kayak the rivers and ocean beaches, and you can zipline through the treetops in the rain forest, courtesy of island outfitters.

4. Kauai's northwest coast, the Na Pali cliffs, will look familiar to you from movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park. You too can take a look at the amazing cliffs from a boat tour or from a helicopter tour. You could also take a sea kayak day-long adventure to see them up close.

5. Possibly you are a frequent flyer. In that case, you may be able to use your miles to get there.

7. If you like scuba diving, you'll like the fact that outfitters tend to operate more safely under U.S. liability laws than in other, non-U.S. tropical locations.

7. Do you like crowds or dislike them? If you want to get away from crowds, Kauai is the place for you.

8. You get to see monk seals and sea turtles at the beaches. Don't feed or touch! They are endangered.

9. You can see the crafts of Niihau, the neighboring island where Hawaiian language and culture still survive. This island, 17 miles from Kauai, is closed to outsiders.

10. Worried about funding a vacation? Using U.S. currency at a U.S. tropical destination may be quite a benefit for you.

Kauai may be a good place for you to think about.
