Banyan Harbor Resort No 1 Lihue

... I will get some good pictures.<br><br>I know we would be really having a good time if you all were here with us! I can only imagine what it would be like. It may not seem like it, but we are having fun just relaxing and doing our own thing since we've been on most of the tours at least once, decided not to do them again this time, just enjoying the ship and the ship and walking around the ports.<br><br>love to you all<br>SnV

When it comes to Kauai you cannot beat the scenery - I think that it is probably one of the most beautiful of the Hawaiian islands. It is very "old" Hawaii and an excellent vacation spot for the less commercial vacation. <br><br>We stayed at the Outrigger at Lae nani, which to be honest, is not up to par with the other Outrigger condos on the islands, so I was a little disappointed. The condos we are dated and ...

... with a vengeance, <br><br>After feeding the chickens we headed back down. Mariefrance squeezed herself in the back to allow Alex a front seat and to avoid the view. We made it down in record time and stopped for lunch in Waimea at the shrimp station. I had the shrimp tacos and they were brilliant. Tasty and spicy and messy and delicious. The boys had beer barrel shrimp and Mariefrance coconut shrimp. Nick got a chance to try out this Hawaii shirt can ...

The rental car place (alamo) took forever. We ended up with a hard top jeep ultimate. It looks like a hummer. Right up our alley NOT. But we feel safer then camping and hiking with all our gear in a convertible. We ended our day with a walk on th beach and a quick trip to walmart to pickup groceries. Along the way we passed a costco, kmart ...

... village, a Japanese island, a Filipino village and other interesting areas. Kauai's ethnic heritage is reflected nightly in a 75-minute musical production in the lagoon theater. SPOUTING HORN - when tide is running high, waves pressured through lava tubes are forced through a hole in coastal rocks to burst noisily into spectacular fountains of salt spray and foam. WAILUA FALLS - nicknamed Fantasy Island Waterfalls. WAIMEA CANYON - this ...

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. <br><br>I then woke up at 4 am and was unable to move due to the intense pain in my back. I was promptly ...

... that mark our flight. If the foregoing scenery was not sufficiently beautiful enough, rapture is elicited by the south coast of the island of Molokai. Its mountainous coast is draped by what in Hawaii is described as "folded" mountains. These appear to be geological formations which seem to have been laterally squeezed to produce the beautiful green folds that characterize mountains in the South Pacific. Beauty not only punctuates the ...

... waren von Kopf bis Fuß komplett mit Schmutz bedeckt. Sobald wir zurueck am Strand waren, sprang ich auch direkt ins Wasser um mich zu waschen. Am Abend fuhr ich dann Kaylin zum Flughafen mit Taylor, einem Typ, welchen wir die Nacht davor getroffen hatten und mit welchem ich dann zurueck zum Anini Beach fuhr. Auch da, zeltete ich direkt am Strand und wir hatten eine sehr nette Begegnung mit einer amerikanischen Dame, welche uns ganz ...

... the danger of the beautiful cross-breaking waves. This is caused by the cliffs that edge the bay, the stretch out onto the ocean at such an angle that the surf converges and breaks in a half diamond pattern, and the swell and suction of the water is evident even from the shore. There would be little to no chance of fighting the current if you did get caught in it. It was impressive to watch though and I sat for about half an hour just watching the waves, and trying ...

The Smith Family Garden Luau in Wailua Kaua'i. Yes, Smith. "Freckles", who's mother and father began a tour boat business to take 4 people at a time up the river to see Fern Grotto some 60 years ago, said his father was a wonderful businessman. He said none of the tourists would ever be able to remember their Hawaiian name, so for marketing purposes, they were going to call it Smith. Freckles mother is 97 years old and still comes to the ...
