Kauai
In May, Lois and I spent a glorious 8 days in Kauai, HI. The trip was a great combination of exploring the various parts of the Island and relaxing at the pool and the beach. Some of the highlights were:
1. A day catamaran trip up the Na' pali coast, for views of the mountainous shoreline and some great snorkeling. We saw seals, rays, dolphins, brilliantly colored fish and a rare whale shark that came right up to the boat. The crew was so excited, they "abandoned" ship and jumped in the water with the shark (I personally think they have spent too much time in the sun!). It was a baby whale shark, so it was only 20 feet long, but very friendly, I guess as far as sharks go. The shark let the crew grab on to it's dorsal fin and it pulled them around in the water. A crazy but wonderful thing to see.
2. We did the obligatory luau and show. While we watching the un-earthing of the pig, our friends Doug and Allison waited for the bar to open. By the time Lois and I got back to the table, it was covered with many glasses of colorful tropical drinks. Needless to say, we were quite "happy" by the end of dinner. Show, what show? I don't remember a show?
3. Having a massage, outdoor, near the lagoon waterfall. Ahhhhh….
4. Sunning and swimming at Hanalei Bay. What a glorious location and mostly devoid of tourists (except for us!)
All in all, a wonderful way to spend 8 days!
