Tag: Hawaii

Last month we spent 9 VERY relaxing days on Kauai; check out our updated Jaunts page.  We have visited Oahu (2001), Maui (2015), Hawaii (Big Island – 2019) and wanted to compare Kauai to the others.  The Garden Isle carries a different vibe – very green and more laid back.  We stayed in Kapa’a, on the east side in an AirBnB condo.  The location was ideal and the view from the lanai – picture perfect AMAZING!  We tasted delicious local dark chocolate on a cacao farm.  We explored the Northwest side where James took a 2 hour hike while Julie stayed at the trail head to watch the water.  We visited Waimea Canyon where it is hard to describe the landscape.  We enjoyed a sunset cruise to experience the Na Pali coastline.  We saw botanical gardens, Jurassic Park filming locations, and found a friend’s commemorative brick at the Kilauea Lighthouse. The lush landscape also held many waterfalls to find. Chickens & roosters are everywhere; even working as car rental counter greeters!

Each Hawai’I island is unique and special.  We have enjoyed unique adventures on each of the islands! 

Mahalo no kahi hoʻomaha kupaianaha!  (Thanks for an amazing vacation!)
