Saturday, June 15- Sunday, June 16 (*until we meet again) Saturday was our last last day, though for all practical purposes I considered Friday our last real day. However! Our flight was not until 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening, so technically we still had a big chunk of the day to enjoy. The evening/ overnight flight… Continue reading Days 16-17: A Hui Hou* Hawaii! Final adventures + home.
And just like that, two weeks after the whole whirlwind of Asher's Thursday night graduation and then boarding a plane Friday morning, here we were, somehow waking up to our last full day in Kauai! Hard to believe. Two weeks generally feels like my sweet spot for travel. By Friday, I didn't feel like I… Continue reading Day 15: Last full day- soaking it all up
Thursday, June 13 These last two days, Thursday and Friday, were designed to be pretty go-with-the-flow. Main objective: explore + enjoy. One thing on my personal "wants" list was to walk to that pretty 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay for coffee/ tea at that pretty coffee shop one morning. I enjoy walking at home in the… Continue reading Day 14: awesome day! Morning walk, Hideaway Beach, mini-golf, Tunnels, pizza + sunset views
Wednesday, June 12 Wednesday was the first morning we woke up to overcast skies! Looking out, it was crazy how we couldn't even see the mountains - which normally were clear as day. Oh, well. It was still warm and pleasant outside. Also, if it had to be cloudy on one of our excursion days,… Continue reading Day 13: Mountain tubing, Makauwahi cave, Wailua Falls, Lava Lava Beach Club
Tuesday, June 11 Since we had a long, full day Monday, and more plans in the south of Kauai on Wednesday, the plan for Tuesday was to just basically do whatever we wanted (on the north shore near the condo). No plans, just a wing-it day. We took a slow morning (the usual- coffee, tea,… Continue reading Day 12: Relax day/ Queen’s Bath/ pretend luxury…
Monday, June 10 Monday was our first “excursion day” on Kauai! We were staying on the north shore, but had booked a private plane tour out of Lihue and also wanted to take advantage of being more on the south shore to also visit Waimea Canyon. Here, for a little reference, here’s a map: Airport… Continue reading Day 11: Airplane tour + Waimea Canyon (aka “The one where someone throws up” 😆)
Sunday, June 9 Sunday was our first full day on Kauai. When planning the trip, I had organized two paid, scheduled “excursions” for our week in Kauai, which I strategically placed on Monday and Wednesday. (Both located on the south side of the island, which is an hour+ drive away.) I figured after our travel… Continue reading Day 10: Beach adventures in Kauai
Saturday, June 8 Saturday = time to move on!! As I said before, our time on Oahu was incredible. But we were also all excited to see how beautiful Kauai would compare! Our flight was at 12:40, which I intentionally chose midday so we didn’t have to race out the door in the morning. (And… Continue reading Day 9: Oahu > Kauai!
GRATEFUL KAE
