Most people don’t realize that Kuaui gets 10,000,000 tourists a year.

I’ve been there 6 times....and the mountians prevent high populations, but the urban areas are just like anywhere else.

There is one road that circumvents the island...and at times the traffic is awful.

My wife hails from an exotic island paradise in New Jersey known as Long Beach Island.

It gets probably more than 10 million discrete tourist trips per year.

It is 18 miles long and 0.5 miles wide, there is only one road from the mainland and there is only one road that goes from end to end of the island. Probably 3 of the 9 square miles are curfewed or private beaches.

In January it has a population of 8,000 and on summer weekends it has a population of about 125-150,000.

This crazy painted hag should count her blessings.
