Hawaiian Vacation

Good times at the beach....

No need for entertainment, just relax...

This is the first beach we went to on the firt day! Lovely!!

I waited a while for this shot...this is Secret beach

The Napali Coast

Just get a look at that jungle...cool!

This is about my favorite view in Hawaii, really jaggad raw jungle coast line.

In the thick of it...

Trail Head

First view from above of the beach after 2 miles of jungle walking.

Tough Road

There is a price to get this close to beauty....and we wore the wrong shoes....
Isn't this gorgeous!? This is the first 2 mile beach.

The trail was trecherous and muddy at times...

I had to bribe Leslie with anything I could think of to get to the end of the 8 miles that day. We were wearing reef shoes, not such a good choice for this trail. Live and learn:)

Waterfalls

We finally made it to the waterfall...four miles there, and then 4 back, but worth every step. Those of you who know my Kauai miracle story in 1999, this is the waterfall that I was sitting in front of when a flash flood hit while my back was turned while trying to reset my dislocated arm. No rain at all that day and the falls were nice and normal size.

These are those same falls, with me swimming under them, so you can imagine how tall they really are. The water was hitting quite hard, so exhilerating! That was one of my highlights of the whole trip :)

This is another fall we canoed and hiked to, that's what gave me the courage to do the other larger one....we did this first....super fun. After we did, a bunch of people got the nerve up and followed us. We are such trend setters!

More Water Fall Shots

On a hike...lots of mosquito's here:~
Off the side of the road

It was getting dark, but still time for one more waterfall!

We canoed and hiked back to this one and it's the one we swam under in the above post.

Out and About

There's dinner....yummy pig

It is possible to get too much sun, had to take a break in the shade.

Very interesting dish of food which is a result of a mixture
of cultures in Hawaii. Man it was sure tasty.

What a view

Random Shots

This is what I picture when I think of the Garden Island of Kauai

You can never get too much of the beach

great folage, just the side of the road. It's so beautiful everywhere you look you
start taking it for granted.

Gotta snorkel in Hawaii or why go?

Hawaiian Shave Ice

Nothing beats true Hawaiian shave ice with ice cream in the bottom!
We tried all we could find, and none let us down.

My only regret is that I only got to get 4 the whole trip:(

Next time I'll have to get 2 a day:)

Napali By Boat

This coast is in many movies such as King Kong and all these points are spectacular...the guide said it was like the 12th wonder of the world. This is the 11 mile beach with water fall. I hiked this back in 1999 and it was the best hike of my life...gorgeous!
A look up the coast
