Hale Pohaku Beachside Resort Koloa

... 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!

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 ...

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 ...

As with every major trip so far, I didn't get hardly any sleep last
night while I was up walking around thinking of odds and ends I should
or shouldn't take. I really ought to make a concrete list of items
sometime and save myself some worry. Today's Journey will take us a
little over 4000 miles from KCI to LIH. Starting at KCI at dawn, we stopped over for ...

... we started to explore the cave across the street but decided against it. We went to Ke'e Beach instead. We had fun swimming and snorkeling. On the way back, we stopped by the Princeville Hotel to see the amazing view of the ocean and mountains from their grounds. Since it was still early, we decided to go to Spouting Horn. This place is different from any other blowhole in Hawaii because it has another hole that emits a whooshing sound followed by a low moan ...

... the southern shore. No A/C, but it's fine. Monday May 20 -- We drove to the northwest tip of the island (Ke'e Beach), and hiked 8 miles along the Na Poli coast--2 miles to a little beach (Hanakapiai Beach), then 2 ...

... more comfortable in the sea. Shannon and I stumbled over to the van and removed our gear. After which, our guide just told us to go around back and watch the TV hanging in the van. Puzzled, we did as we were told. Who could argue with the man who created Aquaman (just so you know, his name was Kevin.)? He then popped into the DVD player the video of us snuba'ing. Can you believe it? We were blown ...

... particular vantage point in order to help me, purely because I told him, after much pressure from him - I was not in a particularly sharing mood - that I had not found anywhere to stay that night. I did not like the pressure that was applied, and I am not sure why I caved to it, but in the end I was offered a place to stay with some people that his friends knew, who were developing a retreat for artists, and they seemed very nice on the phone, so I ...

... a week each park is closed to try to stop people from staying long term but there's always a few folk that manage to duck and dive. They take over a pavillion and set up home - with TV and other home comforts! Well with free leccy - no wonder! Once the rain went off, we went a walk down the beach for the sunset . The Na Pali coastline was looming in the background...

... cream next door at Lappert's Ice Cream and Coffee. The vanilla, caramel, coconut, macadamia nut was killer, as was the Kauai Pie, a store TradeMark, consisting of Kona cofee ice cream, chocolate fudge, coconut and macadamia nut. Glenn was upset that they didn't have chocolate chip and he had to settle for plain old vanilla bean. To spite his disappointment, he said it was great.

... along with lots of beautiful waterfalls and cliffs. However for the first half of our trip it was raining and we got a little wet. They drove us into a cave that formed in the side of the island. Went on for about an hour and stopped for some snorkeling. We brought an underwater camera with us and got some shots of fish and sea turtles. Had lunch and headed back. Fortunately the second half of the ride was bright and brilliant.
