Hawaiian Honeymoon: Kauai

Hello All! We're back from our honeymoon and had a wonderful time! But it's nice to be back to real life.

After spending two days on Oahu we flew over to Kauai for the last five days of our vacation. What an amazingly beautiful island! I just have one word of advice for all those headed to Kauai: The best way to see the island is to experience it through activities like snorkeling, boating, hiking, flying, etc. Unfortunately, the small plane ride we planned around the island was canceled due to HEAVY rains that day. Too bad but we still had a lot of fun!

Opaekaa Falls


A beach somewhere in Southwest Kauai


Waimea Canyon


Kauai Coffee Plantation


Menehune Pond
the legend is that this was built by the Hawaiian leprechaun or menehune


A view from the Marriot Resort (not where we stayed-I wish)



Haena Beach - the end of the road


Sunrise from our hotel


Kapaa 2nd Ward


Spouting Horn


Kilauea Lighthouse - in the pouring rain
(this is what we did when our plane trip was canceled -- a beautiful substitute)


Wailua Falls - raindrops on the camera lens blurred the photo
