This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Looking for family-friendly activity recs in Kauai by NavyJoe

We are heading to Oahu and Kauai on vacation next month. The Navy was kind enough to send me to Pearl Harbor a number of times so I'm pretty up to speed on what to do there, but I have never been to Kauai and am interested in hearing what y'all have to say.

My kids are 7 and 5 and aren't exactly strong swimmers so snorkeling and kayaking are probably out. I've seen some recs for fishing, boat rides, ATVs and like, but those are all quite expensive (>$600 for the family) and I'd like the BR's take before committing.

Thanks.
