Ok, so let me just say, man is it friggin beautiful here. And hot. So today’s update. Did not update yesterday. Was sitting in front of the computer last night but passed out before I could get anything typed. It was only 11pm here, however in TX time that is 4am. I do stay up late on occasion, but that is riduculous.
So as I am sitting here typing, let me just say that the dishwasher in the Waiohai Marriott is outrageously loud. I mean to the point that I want to go into the hallway to finish typing.
Ok, off my soapbox. Yesterday and today were good days. We are staying in the south side of Kauai. Yesterday we took a trip up north to Kilauea and then to Hanalei. Yeah, like Puff the Magic Dragon. 1st to Kilauea and the Kilauea Lighthouse. Beautiful spot where lots of birds nest. And this is one of the most northern tips of the island. The lighthouse here is cool. From there we went to Hanalei. This is such a beautiful spot. Here is were most of the taro on the island is grown. And all the bridges in the north are all 1 lane bridges. I cannot equate this area to anything I have seen anywhere else. It is beautiful, lush with vegetation, and the people are awesome. We ordered food at Red Hot Mama’s, a hole in the wall mexican stand. Literally a hole in the wall. No seating, no waiters, no anything other than the window where they take your order and give you food. We than drove to Ha’ena to go eat at a public park where they camp and surf. Amazing how some people live here in tents for weeks/months at a time. From there it was back home for dinner, playing around the hotel, and bedtime. Grilled some chicken and veggies, and soaked in the hottub.
Today, went west to Hanapepe. On the way we stopped at the Kauai Coffee Company. Got the father-in-law some coffee. Let the twins entertain the other tourists there for a while. Toured Glass Beach and the Japanese Graveyard. Amazing in theirselves. The water at Glass Beach is so beautiful. Then drove to Waimea to go to JoJo’s Shave Ice. One of the best treats on the island. Headed back to the hotel today to make sure the boys got a nap. So much better. Was able to take my daughter to a polynesian dance tonight. She really enjoyed it. Came back to hotel and played some more. 2 great days. Enjoy the photos.
3 more days!!!!!
