Dieser Text dient, obgleich er dem Zeitgeist vermutlich von vernichtender literarischer Bedeutung erscheinen mag, doch wohl als zeitgemäße Demonstration amerikanischer Urlaubsgewohnheiten im einundzwanzigsten Jahrhundert. Seit wir gestern Abend auf Kaua’i ankamen, haben wir nicht allzu viel sinnvolles getrieben. Ein wenig Einkaufen, ein wenig Sightseeing - etwa des Waimea Canyons (freilich ohne nervenaufreibende Tätigkeiten), ein wenig Schnorcheln, ein wenig mehr Alkohol und eine nicht zu geringe Menge an konsumierter Literatur. Alles in allem, zwei entspannte Tage, sieht man von der Hetz auf einen neuen iPod nano, welcher nicht pinker Farbe sein soll, für Stephan ab, welcher sich wohl auch spätestens am Sonntag in Honolulu noch materialisieren dürfte. Von Bedeutung erscheinen mir an dieser Stelle einzig und allein unsere Bekanntschaft mit zwei Wesen zu sein. Wir trafen sie ges... read more

Hey Everyone- Few weeks late as usual, but here are all the spectacular pics from Kim and Erin's visit to the island. We had so much fun. I realize some our dupes from Facebook, but guess you'll just have to deal with it... hehe Also, I think it should be noted what was going on behind the scenes of all these pictures. While Kim was planning her and Erin's exciting daily adventures in Hawaii.... someone back at home was planning some extremely exciting future plans. A week after Kim got back from Hawaii... Jamie proposed :) Congrats again girlie! So happy for you! OK well that's all for now. Hope everyone is doing great. Talk soon. Love, Allison... read more

We didn't have to rush as we prepared to leave. Our school bus had to do its morning rounds before it could take us out to the National Tropical Botanical Garden. But we were all gathered a half hour early, for some reason. Getting efficient at this packing stuff, I guess. We sure didn't want to leave the quiet garden-like hotel. But the yellow bus appeared and we loaded our gear, climbed in, and set off. We were not under the time pressures we had been most of the time on Kaua'i. We handled that just fine but it was nice not to hurry. On one of these trips, our driver did an extraordinary job in a situation that looked like a sure accident through no fault of her own. But she did it so well, ... read more

Waimea Canyon is the "Spectacular Beauty" we are to see today. And it is something we are anticipating. But Susan surprises us with a stop in one of the many valleys of Kaua'i. Like on the other older islands, deep valleys reach from inland extinct volcanoes down to the ocean. Through them run rivers of fresh water, rain that gathers in the rain forest areas near the peaks. In this particular valley is a huge fresh fish pond, carefully crafted with lava rock to provide a large reservoir to grow fish for the builders. From the way the river runs, the builders appear to have taken advantage of a big "ox bow" of the river that had switched back on itself. From Susan's telling, this fish pond may have been built by the Marquessans, the earliest ... read more






A Busy Travel Day

We travel today from Maui to Honolulu (2hr lay-over) to Kaua'i. So we start with shuttles to the airport. Our group is too big to fit in one shuttle trip so we make 2 trips. Luckily the airport is not far away. Our flights from Maui to Honolulu and Honolulu to Kaua'i are uneventful and we pick up our baggage and go outside to wait for our bus. Now, Susan has already told us that because of the unavailablty of motorcoaches on Kaua'i, and the fact that some areas where we need to go are too small for coaches, we will be using a school bus - Yes, a yellow school bus. When we see the yellow school bus turn the corner, we all cheer and make many jokes about going back to school and being ... read more

We really needed the free day to rest. It was great for us. Others took full advantage of the suggestions Susan had made to see more sights. We're glad we took it easy. We were much fresher for the flight to Kaua'i with a layover in Honolulu. We were met at the Lihu'e airport by a big yellow bus. Being the oldest of the immediate Hawai'ian chain, kaua'i is also not as developed as Maui, Oahu, and the Big Island. We were glad to have the school bus because it could go places a standard coach could not. Sitting over its back wheels as we did much of the time was not bad, though a coach bus we rode in on Oahu sure reminded us of how rough it had actually been. We picked up lunch ... read more
