Annual Kauai Trip

[slip]

They said it would take 2.5 to 3 years to do all 150 units.

 

[slip]

They are working on the K building now.

Sounded like the F building was the next one to be done.

I have a nice picture of the huge walk in shower but it's on my other machine.
I'll have to post that later.

 

[slip]

I think I only have one more.

 

[slip]

Here it is.

Nice pictures. Looks like Pono Kai is really trying to step up.

Now, what is a "huge walking shower?" :hysterical:

It moves so fast, it makes it hard to get in. Darn auto correct.:hysterical:

I pictured you outdoors in the pouring rain, wrapped in a big shower curtain...

Fresh Fish Market in Lihue

Hi, We also love our Pono Kai unit and can't wait to get back there. When we visited last we were talking to some of the locals that fish in front of the Pono Kai. We ask where we could buy fresh fish on the island and they recommended the market/ wholesaler that they actually sell their catch to. It is located in the commercial district of Lihue, very close to the Enterprise car rental lot if you know where that is.

Garden Isle Seafood Kauai
2976 Aukele Street A-3
808-245-4848

They have a big selection that changes daily depending on the catch that day. There were about 20 varieties on the list when we were there. They open very early and close in the very early afternoon so call for their hours, they can also tell you what fish they have in stock if you are looking for something in particular. The best, freshest fish we have ever had. Great on the Pono Kai BBQ

No problem on the pictures, glad you enjoy them.

Thanks for the tip on the fish. This is the second time we got our car from
Enterprise so we know where it is.

We just got back from hiking the Wai Koa Loop by the Kilauea mini golf. We did
The whole loop. It was about 5 miles. The dam was beautiful at the half way
Point.

After that we went up to the General Store in the Princeville Center for pizza.
First time we went there. It was pretty good and we have a smack for later.

Here's the dam.

Another dam picture. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

And another.

Hi Jeff - Exactly where is the start of this hike? Is it something you have to pay for?

 

[slip]

It's a freebie. Just past the lighthouse turnoff going north, they'll be the mini
Golf course on your left. Turn into the mini golf and go in like your playing mini
Golf but tell him you want to sign the waver to hike the loop. You sign the
WBer on his iPad and he tells you where it starts and gives you a map.

When you turn into the mini golf, you'll have to go right to get in his parking lot.
If you go straight, you'll see the parking down there and that's where you start.

When I get home I can scan the loop map and put it on here. If you take the
Section to the left you can do it in two hours, it's a little shorter but if you do the
Loop plan on three hours. It was rainy up there today but the trail is like a road
In some spots so it was still fine. I'll post a picture of the worst spots and there
Was still a dry way around. Also, besides a couple places at the start and end,
It's pretty flat but it is down hill a bit to the dam. It really is pretty there.

 

[slip]

This was one of the worst spots but to the left was a horse trail that was dry to
Get around it.

 

[DeniseM]

That sounds great!

 

[slip]

I hope these pictures are coming out OK, it's hard to tell doing everything from
My iPad.

 

[DeniseM]

The pictures are beautiful!

 

[slip]

I'm glad they're showing up good. I had to plug in my iPad and switch over to my
Kindle Fire so i'll put a couple more on later. There's some stone steps that leads up
To a Buddha. I was trying to upload those when I saw my low battery.

There is only one bathroom and it's by a dog park in there. It's a portapotty. The
Whole thing is on private property so just stay on the trail. It was in Hawaii magazine
And the owners set up the trail.

My DW just sent me a picture of the map they give you. I'll put it up in a minute.

 

[slip]

Here it is. I'm glad we went on a cloudy, rainy type day. Some of this is out in the
Open and it probably can get really hot otherwise.
