If you had 8-9 days would you spend it on one island or try to do both? I am currently leaning towards spending the entire time on Kauai, but that's based solely on the travel guides I've read. What do y'all think?

I've been to Maui (last year) but not Kauai. I stayed on the west side of the island near Kapalua (just north of Lahaina). The south side is the other resort area. I was in Maui for 6 days and I could have used more time. There are a lot of day trips and we did a lot of hiking. My favorite part was either hiking in the crater or exploring lava fileds. If I went back, I would probably not bother with the road to Hana, but many people enjoy that, especially if you go during the winter, which is supposed to be the wet season (the road to Hana is pretty waterfall intensive, so water is important).
Feel free to PM me if you decide to go to Maui and I can tell you more. I've heard great things about Kauai, and if you decide to go, take notes because I'll likely be going in the next couple of years (we are doing one island per year)!
Is this your honeymoon destination?
