Thanks for the responses so far, it looks like Kauai is good (sharing it
with the family, of course).
Of course, the astronomer in me also wants to go visit Mauna Kea...

Subject: Hawaii in June-July?
I was on several of the islands about 20 years ago. I think Kauai is the
prettiest and birdiest of the main islands. The Waimea Canyon area is
probably still the best place for endemics, and Kaileua point is a good
place for seabirds such as Albatross, Tropicbirds, Frigatebirds and
shearwaters. The Albatross may still be nesting in June or very early July.
Best.
