Just drove into Madison, Wi and ate some dinner. Time to relax and get ready
For the long trip tomorrow. Used miles for this trip and got some pretty good
Flights. we go from Madison to Denver and Denver to Honolulu. After that the
Short flight to Lihue. Should be there 6pm Hawaii time. Boy, are we both ready.

Have fun!! I hope you do frequent posts about your time in Kauai!!! Hearing about others travels only makes me more excited about our first trip to Oahu and Kauai!!!Dave

Kauai is our favorite island. More nature, fewer people.

Yep, I'll try to post daily and add some pictures. Let me know if anyone has
Any questions and we can try to find out for you.

It's still green and beautiful. This week in Poipu we had rain, sun, rain, sun, rain, sun every day and plenty of rainbows. Have a safe trip.

Can't wait for the sun. We had warmer temperatures in Wisconsin but no sun
And it was still cold with all the wind. I don't mind a little rain either.

DW came down with the flu today and she just got to sleep now. Hopefully she
Can get some rest because tomorrow is a long day. I had what she has last week
And it wasn't fun.

17 days and its our turn for Kauai, can't wait. On March 2nd I fly from Africa to New Orleans from work, and the 8th New Orleans to Kauai. Keep us up to date on happenings

DW is a real trooper. She's feeling a little better. I had the same thing last week
And I don't know if I could have made it. First leg to Denver.

Just got back from two weeks at MAW. Had an awesome visit. Great weather, few clouds and good temps.
Veggies and fruit are all pretty much still in season. Mangos (as Denise? noted) are not local--wouldn't buy. Rainfall amount seemed low when we were on the Napali trail. Flowers are still nice though. The grocery (food saver?) at Princeville is really wonderful now. We were in there a while back; didn't seem near as nice/stocked. Also, the Safeway at Lihue is really pushing to compete with Costco: they had pretty good prices and tons of selections. Got some great deals on Kauai Shrimp. If you haven't had them--try them. Heads on sautéed or grilled. Better than mud-bugs and the best shrimp we've had.

I got a really nasty cold while I was there for about 3days.... I found that the Koloa Rum Mai-Tais (Costco, mix with 1/4 Orange/Mango/Guava juice for perfect taste and strength; splash with dark rum float and fresh pineapple if desired) will definitely burn the cold right out of you. Or at least make you forget!

have a great time.

We made it right on time. DW feels much better but I'm surprised she made it
After how she felt last night. Luggage came in on the flight after so we got the
Car and came back and it was there. DW unpacked and I went down to The
Noodle House and brought home dinner. She thought some Saimin might help
Her out. It's one of her favorites.

Picking up the tote tomorrow and then some grocery shopping. Maybe Ono's for
Breakfast we'll see. I'll post some pictures of the new SeaWall on the path. It
Looks great.

Wow, slept like a rock and up at 5am, no jet lag. DW is back to normal, she
Usually gets up that early. It's about an hour early for me but we can enjoy the
Sunrise on our first day.

DW told me to post on TUG that if anyone is on Kauai for the next couple of
Weeks and wants to skydive, send me a pm. She signed up but they need two
People to go up so hopefully we'll get one more person. No, my feet are always
Going to be firmly planted on the ground.

Just a couple of days ago I was telling DW that I crossed sky diving off my bucket list a long time ago.

I'm with you Art. I'm still in the pursuit of the perfect Mai Tai.

The county did a great job on the SeaWall by the bike path. They even made
The small beach area pretty nice.

Here's a picture from our living room. That first one was from our lanai.

Breakfast at the Oylimpic in Kapaa.

That was actually me suggesting the Mai Tai's. But, nice pictures.

It is a long list my friend but we'll squeeze you on.

Just got back from picking up the tote and some grocery shopping. Just watching
Some locals fishing at the new fixed up beach in front of our lanai. We still want
To go down and book our whale watching tour. We want to book it early in case
It gets cancelled with high swells.

He is staying in Kapa'a - East Island.

You are staying in Princeville - North Island, about 45 min. to an hour north, depending on traffic.
