My mother and I went to Kauai for a week long vacation before I moved to Oahu to go to school.  I moved all of my luggage (books and rocks, man... not a good idea) and hers in and out of cars all day long and then went to sleep.  I then woke up ...

Dec 9, 2002

Hawaii is reputed to have very high prices for just about everything, but I haven't been shocked by anything but the cost of internet access, hence the brief update. We are nearing the end of our stay here. It has been really interesting to have first ...

Kauai - päivä 2 - itäosa
Jan 13, 2007 (11 photos)

Ohhohhooo!!! Siis nyt on sellainen meininki, että pois alta!! Kyllä Havaijin saaret aina vaan jaksavat yllättää positiivisesti! Koska meillä ei ole kauhean montaa päivää täällä aikaa, niin ajateltiin käydä aina yksi osa saaresta päivän aikana läpi. Tänään vuorossa oli ...

Kauai - päivä 5 - Waimea canyon
Jan 16, 2007 (12 photos)

Tämän päivän retki suuntautui Waimea kanjonille. Lähdettiin taas heti aamusta matkaan ja ensimmäinen stoppi olikin välittömästi auton tankkaus. Suhteelisen kallista on bensa täällä verrattuna Floridaan ja maksoin 2,93 dollaria/gallona, eli noin 0,66 euroa/litra. ...

Aloha! Kauai on nyt Havaijin saarista kolmas, jonne tutkimusretkemme herran vuonna 2007 suuntautuu. Oahulla oli ilo vierailla vuoden 2004 tammikuussa ja Mauilla joulukuussa 2004 ...ja miten helvatissa onnistuin käymään samana vuonna kaksi kertaa ...

Kaua hele mai 'aina, kaua hele mai wai.
Oct 29, 2005

Or: we come from the earth, we come from the water. Jojo and Uriah are playing cribbage while I listen to the night sounds of the jungle, the creaking talk of houses planted in red clay. This is our home and our shantytown symphony; purrrthump of a ...

Limahuli Garden and Kiluea Farmers Market
Mar 13, 2008 (16 photos)

Today we decided to go back north even though it was cool and windy today and it looked like it was going to rain. We wanted to go to the Limahuli Botanical Garden in Ha'ena because they said it was quite different from the McBride Garden. We had wanted ...

Kauai's North Shore
Mar 3, 2008 (6 photos)

Today we decided to drive up the north shore to Hanalei, my favorite little town on Kauai. There is a fish market there that makes really good sushi rolls that we like to get for lunches. On our way we stopped at the Kilauea Lighthouse. We went to this ...

Kauai
Sep 24, 2007 (2 photos)

Short half an hour flight to Kauai. Kauai is the oldest of the 8 main islands, its rugged and the scenery is absolutely amazing, nothing like we've ever seen before. Headed to a hostel in Kapa'a. They had a return flight ticket policy (if you didn ...

mid-afternoon notes
Oct 10, 2005

I can hear the drums down the street from the pow wow in the park. They've been going all day. The persistent beat makes everything feel more alive. I wish I could know what it is like to hear nothing but those drums. No cars rolling past, no drone from ...

... in. Mieko said that was fine so we headed to Kapaa. We've stayed at the Lowe's cottage before. It's a lovely cottage up the Kapaa valley a couple miles from town. It's bigger than what we need, but it's relatively low priced and would be about the same as ...

Kauai - päivä 3 - pohjoinen
Jan 14, 2007 (10 photos)

Tänään olikin sitten hiukan kipeät paikat nousta sängystä eilisten kiipeilyjen ja Kipu Fallsin jäljiltä ...vai oliko sittenkin ne Mai Tait? ;-) No, kello 10 päästiin kuitenkin viimein liikenteeseen ja ajelemaan kohti pohjoista. Todella upea reitti oli ...

Kauai - päivä 4 - etelä
Jan 14, 2007 (11 photos)

Tänään oli vuorossa eteläinen Kauai ja taas heti aamusta matkaan. Ensimmäisenä kohteena oli syrjäiset Maha'ulepu rannat Kauain etelärannikolla. Alkumatka oli hyvää päällystettyä ajotietä ja yhdessä kohtaa mahtavasti eukalyptuspuut muodostivat raikkaantuoksuisen ...

Kauai - päivä 6 - viimeistä viedään
Jan 17, 2007 (9 photos)

Viimeiselle päivälle oli luvassa reissun huipennus ja siitä hiukan alempana... Aamulla ajettiin tsekkaamaan Queens Bath, (kuningattaren kylpy) joka on laavakivestä muodostunut luonnonallas ja sinne pääsee vaeltamalla kapeaa, mutaista viidakkopolkua pitkin. ...

Oct 7, 2005

Oh my, where to even start... Tuesday: After two long bus rides and some time in the surf at Waikiki, we caught our plane to Kauai. (surprise) We arrived around 530 and were picked up at the airport by Oren's sister Joyce and her husband. They gave us a ...

long time me quiet
Oct 19, 2005

I've been missing the brief window of internet accessability here due to my engagements at work. That's right folks, once more I'm dancing for the man. Or something like that, the hippies around here are getting to me. Last night the moon was full and ...

Ted Nugent called, he wants his shirt back
Dec 11, 2007

Being tradition, I watched Ocean's Eleven the night before departing for Kauai.  See, I always watch that very movie in anticipation of a trip, be it big or small.  The line about Ted Nugent's shirt has always been one of my favourites. Due to ...
