Fun-filled Weekend
Good afternoon! I just uploaded all the photos we took this weekend. I will come back and write more about it next time. Andrew had to go to work early this morning so I slept late, had a nice breakfast (made-to-order omelet at the buffet) here at ...
Kauai - The Outtakes
And here are the bloopers, which showcase precisely how dorky and/or bad with cameras we are. We hope you enjoy these...and thanks for checking out our Hawaii blog. We can't wait to catch up with you all when we get home! xoxo, Matthew ...
Back to Jurassic Park
... I don't sleep at all. I land in 4 hours, have an hour layover in Honolulu and then have to fly to Kauai. I expect to arrive at Lihue at 8pm. That is 2 am my time. I left my house at 7 am. I was tired. I made it though. The fun begins Sunday. I am ...
Chickens take over the Island!
I have a bit more than a passing interest in birds. Nothing major, but I have my favorites. I like Pelicans, Flamingos and those cute little white cranes we see all around in Florida. I have a bird feeder and find it fun to watch the birds carry on all ...
Why did the chicken cross the world?
Why did the chicken cross the world? To avoid the security checks... That was the longest day of travel that we've ever done. Up before dawn in Toronto, 3 flights (and 3 increasingly intrusive security checks) later, we arrived near midnight in Kauai ...
Last Day in Kauai
Today was our last day in Kauai. It was the nicest weather we have had since arriving (of course). We ran some errands this morning (got our underwater pics developed) and then headed up the coast to the Kilauea Point Lighthouse and Wildlife ...
Wildlife of Kauai
Matthew and I did nothing today, and it was everything we ever thought it could be...the weather was much colder, and it was extremely windy...since going to the beach or pool were out of the question, we simply relaxed in our room, watched some ...
Hello Kauai!
We arrived in Kauai yesterday and discovered it was much different than Maui....not better, not worse, just different. One thing we are very sure about: the Hilton rocks! Also, if anyone ever decides to come here...there are roosters ...
Kauai Trip
A really high mountain or a really deep canyon
This is going to be the recollection of my trip to the Wiemea Canyon - however you spell it. It was most definitely not without incident. Most of my own doing. Ok, here is the story of Sunday. I woke up with a firm resolve. I was going to go ...
How to enjoy a sunrise and sunset
Well, how do you enjoy a sunrise? You get up really, really early. When I say early, I mean EARLY! It all started by accident, certainly not on purpose! The time zone changes and difference are really playing havoc on my internal clock, circadian ...
Kauai, the wettest place on earth.
This time we arranged to meet up with Levi and explore the Island by car with him. The previous day in Oahu, he had rented a scooter and done a lot of exploring. Upon leaving the ship in Kauai we came across the other gang of Brazilians. I had joined the ...
The Trip So Far
Friday, May 30, 2008 Okay, so I'm in the lobby using the free internet access and my computer is about to die! So, I'll just set this up and write more later. It's our second day here. My husband accidentally took my cell phone charger to work, so I'm ...
Maui to Kauai - The Best Flight of All
... easily say that this was "the best flight in the Hawaiian Islands" as seen from our perspective. The flight from Honolulu to Lihue on the south-east corner of Kauai was relatively uneventful in terms of scenery since it was mostly over the Pacific Ocean. ...
Lahaina and Kauai
... Canyon (labelled The grand Canyon of the Pacific) and catch the colours at sunset. I quickly discovered that speed limits in the States are even more irritating when you are driving a car that is meant to go fast. Holding it to the sporadic 55mph ...
Na Pali Coast
Thomas had offered to be my guide today, and though I was not entirely keen on the idea (because he has no conception of time in the normal sense, and I do not have much of it) he had been so enthusiastic that I had not wanted to turn him down. Big ...
Exploring Kauai
6/17/2004 - We first headed to Waimea Falls which were great. You can drive to a down-looking side view or if you're brave manage your way down on your own to see the falls at the bottom. Next a trip to K-mart got us some wicker beach mats for laying ...
Nawiliwili - its not a Hawaiian paradise
We have berthed at Nawiliwili on the Hawaiian island of Kauai and we really shouldn't be here. We were supposed to go to Hilo but the itinerary was changed as there were too many cruise ships booked into Hilo and I can only guess that we drew the short ...
On the Beach
The apartment at Kauai Beach Resort overlooks the bay where surfers rode the waves from dawn to dusk. At night the rhythmic crash of the rolling breakers was our constant mantra. The immense circular feature pool around which the resort sits offered an ...
Another day, another island!
Tuesday 5 February - Nawiliwili - on the island of Kaua. iBeautiful mountains as we came into the port - all very green and lush but then I suppose it is to be expected because this place has the highest rainfall around this area. Got off the ...
Sand Art Krista didn't see
Someone didn't wake up in time to see my handiwork before the tide erased ...
Aloha, and welcome to Kauai
Iphone battery is almost dead but we are here. Time for some groceries, dinner and sunset...one of the longest days. Julie in tears from the ...
Touring Kauai via a 4WD
December 15, 2010, Kauai We arrived at Kauai early in the morning and were greeted by the Nawiliwili Lighthouse. We had an excursion to see the Kilohana Crater & Maha'uoepu coast on Kauai via a four wheel drive van. Our tour guide has a name a ...
Two weeks until take off...
Aloha, Just testing the waters a bit before diving in! All the best, ...
Blue Hawaiian - helicopter tour
So this wraps up the 4 major islands in the helicopter tour. Of course, Kauai has a lot of the movie locations - Jurassic Park; 7 days/6 nights, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc. ...
