... we had grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch! My sister Judy had one too, in Yuma. It makes me wonder how many of you have indulged your selves and gone ahead and had one. I know there some of you teetering and are about to give in and have one. Go ahead they are wonderful!<br><br>Now it is computer time and then we go to our room and read for awhile and then puff the day is gone. Tomorrow we pass some beautiful cliffs and ...

... of the day at Tunnel beach - which to say the least - is my favorite beach of all time. It is a gorgeous location, uncrowded, great snorkeling, and even has a few little waves to play in. <br><br>For our second day, we booked a helicopter tour with Air Kauai (I believe this company is out of business). This was an incredible experience! The price tag for one of these tours is a little steep - so I'd ...

... come out over the bay. It was in this location that part of Jurassic park was filmed.<br><br>Dikes was great and we got a table right on the ocean so we could look at the waves as we ate. The restaurant also had a salad bar which is rare on these island and helped quell the boys growing hunger. They each had ribs and I had Ahi and Marie France had a wonderful ono. We took our time strolling back in the warm, flower scented air and returned to the condo.<br>

... at the black silhouettes of mountains and sheer cliffs that the road weaved around and anticipate the beauty that would lay shrouded until morning. We were surprised to discover that the gated, be-fountained road marked "Princeville" was our road into the what I can only describe as an american suburb. I think we drove into every gateway until we finally found our condo. Ah, sleep...

... and valium and it was good.<br><br>I went to the DVM on Kauai a few days later, still on my cloud, and came out with a driver's liscence that claimed I was a male. I didn't notice.<br><br>There were also a lot of chickens on the beach and I'm pretty sure I went on a helicopter ride, but that is all I remember about beautiful Kauai.

... of our airplane reflected on the Pacific Ocean intermingling with rainbow coloured circles forming a most fascinating combination of visual delights. Combine all that and I can 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. Our hotel ...

ENGLISH - Deutsch bitte runterfahren Kauai was just wonderful.. this island is exactly how you imagine an Hawaiian island would be. Nature pure! Once we arrive there we rented a car for 3 days and headed to the state park office to get the camping permits. It was not that easy to get them, especially on the last working day before x-mas when everybody was in party mood :-) Once everything was sorted, we headed to Hanapepe to the Salt ...

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 mistake. I was soon being asked what kind of energy I got from different scenes that were on the route we took around the island and looks that clearly pitied me when I answered that I did not see things in the same way that ...

... to tour the gardens either on tram or by foot. With peacocks roaming free, fountains bursting in the pond, and many different varieties of flowers and trees, there is much to see. Thirty minutes before dinner you can observe the unveiling of the Kailua pig. It was interesting to hear that they place heated rocks in the pig to help it cook from the inside out.
