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

Aloooooooha! This is the first and last hello you will get from Hawai'i, and we apologize to everyone for not posting anything sooner! Kate and I are awaiting a lovely steak dinner her parents have prepared for tonight's "Last Supper." Don't worry, we've addressed Kate's vegaterian needs as well.... The days since I've been here have been absolutely amazing! Lots of beach everyday! We played tennis the first day I was here and Kate and I totally wooped Megan and Ali in a doubles match 6 games to 2...sorry girls, your sister taught me to play a tight game of tennis. New Years came and we all had our fare share of spirits, before and after the amazing fireworks display over the Pacific Ocean in front of the Sheraton in Poi'pu. On the second last day ... read more

I made it to Kauai a few days ago. Spent much of Thurday settling in. Had to go to the storeroom and get the bike running. Started up with no problems. Took it for a ride to recharge the battery and had breakfast at the Tip Top. Not much changes there. Jackassed all my stuff back and forth to the condo in Poipu. Only a few yards from the beach. Not much of a room but thats fine. Bought the rental car back, took a cab to Puhi, got on the bike and cruised home. I thought about that only a few days before I was in the Bahamas. Traded one ocean for the other. But, of course, I injured my foot right away. I always seem to do something to them here. This time it ... read more

Am dritten und leider letzten Tag auf Kauai haben wir ein "Zipline" Abenteuer unternommen. Für alle die sich wundern was das genau ist: Schaut euch einfach die Bilder an! =) War ein Riesenspass und kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!! Uebrigens ist hier auch ein video vom Ziplining! Die Qualität ist allerdings sehr schlecht. Nach unzähligen, stundenlangen Versuchen das Video auf einigermaßen erträgliche Qualität zu bringen habe ich aufgegeben! Sorry!! Die gute Nachricht ist, dass ich das Video auch auf YouTube geladen habe, da ist die Qualität etwas besser. Einfach auf www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT0tRSi9ZaQ gehen und Video anschauen! =) ===================================================================================================================== On the third and unfortunately last day on Kauai we did a "Zipline" Adventure! For everyone who's wondering what that is: Just check out... read more
