I didn’t expect to feel a lump in my throat, but as the plane touches down along the lush green fields of Kauai, I feel a rush of emotion. Like so many, I’ve missed the ability to travel. Mostly, though, I missed some of my favorite places—and Kauai is one of them.
Granted, things are different right now. I’m wearing a mask, as is everyone around me, and we’ve followed Kauai’s strict travel protocols.
