The Kauai Inn 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

... little tired looking - however the view from the balcony is unbeatable. We had a ocean view and it was absolutely breathtaking, so I guess this makes up for the not so steller rooms.<br><br>We spent our first day on the island at Waimea Canyon, which is the "Grand Canyon of Hawaii". We mainly just looked at the big hole in the ground, but I'm sure there is excellent ATVing and hiking in this area. We spent the ...

We headed to the other end of the island this day, traveling west and then north to the other end of the Na Pali coast. We drove through lush tropical forests and then to a desert like area which seemed poorer then the rest of the island. We stopped for snacks and searched for a slushy (failed) and began the climb into the Waimea Canyon. They call this the grand canyon of the Pacific. We drove up an wildly curvy road with insane cliffs during which ...

... Sportfishing, scuba diving, and snorkeling are all popular in the pristine waters off the incomparable coasts. Horseback riding offers breathtaking vistas from the mountains to the beaches. OPAEKAA FALLS - the Wailua River makes a dramatic plunge over a high clif. Opaekaa means "rolling shrimp" and dates from days when swarms of shrimp were seen rolling in turbulent waters at the base of the falls. POIPU BEACH - Exceptionally ...

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 ...

... the air to Honolulu was breathtaking. I say "to Honolulu" because all "go Express" inter-island flights are routed through the hub airport of Honolulu. Firstly there was the lush sight of West Maui from the air. "Lush" is the appropriate word since above all, Maui is a green island with splendid golf courses, plantations, manicured real estate developments and gorgeous resorts. Seen from the air, it is a text book example of what one ...

... wir uns auf den Weg nach Hanapepe, zum Salt Pond Campingplatz, welcher direkt am Strand war. Wow, what a lovely place. Am nächsten Morgen fuhren wir zum Waimea Canyon und gingen auf einige Wanderungen um die Schönheit des Parks zu entdecken. Man nennt ja den Waimea Canyon die kleine Version des Grand Canyons und er sah wirklich unglaublich schoen aus. Danach gings weiter zum Koke State Park, wo wir eine großartige Aussicht auf die ...

... their shoes and fording the stream where it was not running quite so quickly. I decided that was too easy, and also, that I did not want to get my feet wet, if I did, then sand was going to get everywhere. I decided that the boulders downstream looked more interesting than the cold water, so I took a small, lesser used track down along the side of the stream toward its mouth. I was rewarded with a hopscotch of boulders, which, translated, means that they looked like a ...

... the images left me unmoved. Two artists that did catch my attention were Vladimir Kush and Thomas Leung, both of whom operate in distinctly interesting, and seperate, schemes. Leung's work combines elements of abstract art with the shifting-distance quality embedded in Chinese landscapes. The combination creates a very striking and seductive image, that draws the viewer in, both unfolding a scene and witholding it via the abstract translucency. The ...

... We have lots of tricks to help.¡¨ And ¡§Don¡¦t keep it a secret, as you know what they say about secrets¡K. They always come out!¡¨ The ride up the West Coast was beautiful and we saw dozens of spinner dolphins. The captain slowed the boat a bit so we could get a good look. I learned that spinner dolphins feed mainly at night, giving them lots of time to play during the day. The captain said it was not uncommon to see 150 dolphins together in a pod. Very fun. The crew said they see ...
