The above image is our view from Shearwater, unit #201. Love this place.

This is the view when we look to the left of the lanai. Not bad either.

Brian, I couldn't remember how to do it. I finally figured it out. Takes me a while.

You have a beautiful view, Cindy. Please, post the other two pictures too of the coast. :) You practically live in Hawaii as you were just recently there.

And we go again in October, if you can believe it. We are spoiled. We are here with Rick's stepmom, Helen. She is 89 next month and still loves to fly with us to the islands, but only once per year.

How close is this from a beach?

When we were in Kauai, we tried to visit the KBV, where several TUGgers own, to see the view they have from there because it looks so beautiful from the pictures I have seen but we didn't find it the first time. We ended up at a hotel and they said that it wasn't there but I thought that it was next to a hotel resort?

The second time we tried, it started raining so hard that we went back to the KBC. We also tried twice to go to Princeville but the bridge was closed because of torrential rains so we didn't make it that year. This was in September 2014.

Here is a view and movie we had at the MOC, Lahaina Villas on our way checking out. We saw this two years on a row but they may do the race more often?

It's a drive to a beach. Tunnels is a bit of a drive north, and the other beach, the one below the Westin (Anini?) is a distance as well; although we can see the Westin perfectly from here. Rick didn't even bring his snorkel gear this time.

iconnections - KBV is 2 miles north of the airport next to the Aqua Kauai Beach Hotel. You can't see it from the highway because it has a long driveway, but it has a distinctive entrance with a rock wall and the US and Hawaiian flags and Tiki Torches.

At the end of the driveway, the hotel is straight ahead and the timeshare is to the left, but the timeshare driveway to the left is gated now. So I would drive straight ahead and park in the covered hotel parking, walk through the hotel lobby (which is lovely) and straight through to the beach. The timeshares are just to the left of the hotel sand pool, and you can access them from a sidewalk that goes to the left from the hotel pool area, or by walking left on the beach.

Denise, we stopped at the hotel and asked them about your timeshare resort but the person didn't seem to understand me or was new. We will try again one day and also to see Shearwater.

The hotel and timeshare are not affiliated, so it's possible, that she was confused if you asked about their timeshares.

View from deck at the Rushes in Door County Wisconsin
I love Door County - haven't been there in years - used to go there regularly when I lived in Chicago and my girl-friend's mom had a gift shop in Bailey's Harbor.
Enjoyed the Fish Boils too and the cherry pie made with local cherries. If you're there now, enjoy.

I was going to say it looks like a Colorado river to me. Our view from the deck at Twin Rivers is much like that.
