The Cliffs At Princeville Condos

... I will get some good pictures.

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.

love to you all

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.

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 ...

... reinforces this is a big exception ) . The AdventuresKauai - Princeville facility is convenient located 15 minutes out of Hanalei off of Rte 56. The safety class is provided by our tour guides - Preston and Rhonda and OSHA regulated gear is issued. We are in a group of 12 ..very mixed....from Ash at 13 to a 60+ grandma going out with two 20-something granddaugters. All ...

... land wildlife we are likely to see. Most places have say, pigeons, sidling up to you in restaurants and doing a little pan-handling (filling the same sort of niche as the Deer in Nara, Japan) - in Kauai it's chickens. Chickens were originally introduced by the polynesians, added to by the europeans, and although there are no particular predators, they were kept in check by frequent field fires used on the ...

... 90 minutes
in SLC, Utah. If anyone ever tells you that all the guys in Utah are
white with crew cut hair, believe it. The flight to Honolulu was one of
those where you look at your watch after taking a nap and playing 5
games of hearts and realize you're barely 1/3 of the way there. At this
point I'm going to stake the claim that driving over and over ...

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 at 4 am and was unable to move due to the intense pain in my back. I was promptly ...

Woke up early this morning around 6am. Had some light and brief rain. We had to be ready to leave Annini Beach at 715 am for our cruise. Na Pali coast is only accessible via boats. There are several hiking trails, but most of them are for very experienced hikers (some trails are rated 9 out of 10 as far as difficulty). For example, one trails path is roughly 18" wide with a 500 foot drop to the ...

I just put these pictures on my laptop. These are from Em's camera. We had some put on a disc when we stopped in Hanalei today. We did this on the way out of town so the pics are all from Queen's Bath. We have some tuckered out girls - they passed on the sunset tonight and are chilling out with a movie.

... began with a search for breakfast. It was decided that the first meal of the day would be on the way to the first destination for the day, Waimea Canyon. So with convertible top down, we departed for the town of Waimea, scouring for something "egg-y". No dice. We found the mall for Lihue and had some Quizno's sandwiches, no yolks involved, but decent filler nonetheless. Carrying on to the main ...

... out to the coast and saw the Napali Coast. I had seen in the past from a boat but it was a hundred times cooler from the chopper. After the Napali Coast, he took us over Hanea beach to the crater of the island's dormant volcano. It is the wettest spot on earth where it averages 420 inches of rain per year. As the odds would have it, it was raining while we were there. That was our last stop before heading back to the heliport. The whole trip ...
