This morning we woke up in the port of Nawiliwili, Kaua’i. At this port, the ship ties up to the pier so our days of tendering are over. We decided to have one last “leisurely” breakfast in the Club restaurant. It was good as always and then we headed to the pier to meet our tour. Today’s tour was apparently very popular as there were multiple buses. They took the first 18 of us who arrived early to a small bus and we got to leave first (ahead of the other buses). Our bus driver Marilyn is a fulltime school bus [View Full Entry]

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 Het [View Full Entry]

Approximately 13 months ago, I had my first Kalalau experience over a long July 4th weekend. Since then I have spent seven months backpacking in South America and seen many amazingly beautiful things, but all that has only convinced me further that Kalalau is perhaps the most beautiful place on the planet. Throughout my recent travels abroad, I have looked forward to my next Kalalau journey. Anticipating minimal employment and ideal summer weather, I dreamt of a week long camping trip, but little did I know I'd be thrown right into a relatively busy work schedule. Finally, a date was pic [View Full Entry]

In 2007 I went camping with my wife, Caroline, a French-Canadian Montrealer who is totally in love with Hawaii. I am too, and our dream is to one day buy ourselves out of all the noise and buy a large plot of land in Hawaii and live quietly and harmoniously with nature. We have visited Maui twice, Oahu and the Big Island some time ago, so now it was time for Kauai. The moment we landed, it definitely felt different from the other Hawaiian islands. It just felt a little quieter and definitely a lot more green and moist. We also [View Full Entry]

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 [View Full Entry]

We headed to the airport with Jay and caught our flights with no problems. Then we waited a bit for Dean and Catherine, and after getting a bit worried Jay went looking for them, and rolled up in a massive Jeep Wrangler! They had been upgraded! We all jumped in, went to Safeway and met Ally at our hostel. Dean had already warned me that the hostel was a bit rough…we didn’t really know what that meant until we got in. It was mostly ok, a bit shabby in bits, but it was right across from the ocean, and there [View Full Entry]

5/4/2009 Leaving this Thursday for Kaua'i. This was a last minute change from a trip to the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. I was looking forward to some snorkeling in Cozumel and Playa Del Carmen; however, the Swine Flu became a little to real for us, so now it's Hawaii. We are staying at the Wyndham Ka'eo Kai Resort in Princeville. Trip Report Wyndham Ka'eo Kai Resort: The front desk was a little difficult to find because it still has the old hotel name on it. There is a small banner type of sign on the road that says Wyndham, that's [View Full Entry]

Doesn't it sound hardcore? Well, it wasn't so bad... We're alive... and so is the four year old kid we also saw clambering over the cliffs, so no need to worry! The pictures speak for themselves, so we'll let them do most of the talking... To sum it up: it was 25 miles (40kms) of cliff-side hiking through dense jungle, over sheer, rocky cliffs, and to a semi-permanent "hippie-colony" where naked people let it alllll hang out - a great hike, spread over four days. We were a little worried about it - The Kalalau Trail along the Na Pali coast [View Full Entry]
