 | Beautiful Wailua River |   |  |
 |  | ||
 |  on February 3, 2004 |
The Wailua River meanders through a beautiful rain forest on the east side of the island. The river is a popular kayak trip. You can also take a barge trip to Fern Grotto. Hard to see, but you just might be able to make out the barge about to go round the bend in the river. |

Meet very nice and wonderful people along the trail from Germany, Russia, Canada, France, United States and the Phillipines. In the evenings we shared the maginificent sunsets together. After the sun set, we shared our food, travel experiences and jokes around a big camp fire at night. |

| Fields of dreams............... | | |

 |  on February 22, 2003 |
This is my field of dreams... The best memory was the ride and stories we got from the helicopter pilot. He said the number one revenue for Hawaii is what? (he posed the question) We all thought it would be tourism... So, as we flew above the fields below, he said, "No, it is marijuana" These are the fields below us. He obviously was joking. |

| Kauai - the Garden Island | | |
| | ||
 |  on September 9, 2004 |
Kauai is the oldest island of the hawaiian archipel. This is the perfect island for hikkers and people who like the nature. Did you know that the wettest point on earth is in Kauai? Visit the Waimea Canyon (Gran Canyon of the Pacific) or go hiking on the Na'pali Coast on the east coast of Kauai you can find beautiful watherfalls |

| Do something dirty! | | |
| | ||
 |  on September 21, 2002 |
There is so much to do, but the one thing I had the most fun doing was the ATV drive. Their motto is "Do something dirty." It was just what we wanted! We drove for miles on private property with many waterfalls on the drive. You race through the mud and love it!. They also provided all the clothing so you could return home clean, but who wants that??? :) The vegetation is amazing! The vast green is something I wish I could have everywhere. The people of Kauai were the kindest and most welcoming. I guess I just miss everything. :) |

| Free Maps and Ideas | | |
| | ||
 |  on March 17, 2006 |
You can find this magazine in bins located throughout the Lihu`e Airport. They're free so be sure to get one. It provides good maps of the island's cities as well as good ideas to keep you busy during your stay. Admittedly, some of the things listed seem a little hokey, but overall, it's a good item to have on-hand. If you want to get one before you arrive, you can order them from their website. This will cost you a few dollars, however. Return to my Kaua`i page. Return to my main Hawai`i page. |

| I wahi kope nau? Will you have some coffee? | | |
| | ||
 |  on June 6, 2006 |
My favorite thing about Kaua'i is the coffee or "kope" that is grown there. Everytime we travel to the islands we always return with a boatload of coffee. Kaua'i coffee is "ono" which means delicious. Koloa, Kaua'i is the largest coffee growing region in the United States, with over 4,000 acres of rich volcanic soil that once grew sugar cane . Coffee has been grown on Kaua'i since 1836 which makes it the oldest growing region of the Hawai'ian Islands. With the perfect growing conditions of soil, rainfall and sunshine it is no wonder that Kaua'i grows some of the best coffee in the world. Kaua'i Kope (coffee) is the best as far as my taste buds are concerned so relax and don't "wiki wiki" hurry grab a cup of hot or iced coffee and watch the world go by. |

| Like all the islands, Kauai is... | | |
| | ||
 |  on August 25, 2002 |
Like all the islands, Kauai is blessed with beautiful beaches but it is perhaps the lushest and least developed island as well. It's real highlight, however, is a fantastic trail network and with the great South Pacific weather can be a hikers paradise. Unfortunately for us, Iniki had most of the hikes off limits by the National Guard and though we attempted some anyway, it was pretty much useless, too much of the trails were unnavigatable mudslides. We did manage to get to the bottom of Wailua Falls though we had to use a rope which someone had fixed there to get down and back up. |

The best internet cafe on the south side of the island is in Koloa at the Country Store. The town has much charm and is worth a stop. |

The vibrant colors are among my fondest memories of Kauai. Brilliant emerald green rain forests and azure blue of the ocean and sky leave no doubt as to why this island is called the "Garden Island". |
