Need Kaua'i Vacation Advice!

[Veronica]

Thanks Kim.

We stayed in Lihue, since it was central. I thought next time we'd stay in Poipu for the snorkeling. Since we tend to go in the winter, there's less surf worries in the south I think.

Give me the tickets and you won't be faced with these nerve racking decisions

How did I miss this thread???

When I want to Kauai - eeks, 10 years ago, now - I rented a car and kind of drove myself around - doing some short hikes in the Canyon and checking out the sights. I was there only a few days, and ended up meeting someone and going mountainbiking (and excercise in futility - the tire kept gunking up with red mud and stopping me cold every 20 feet when there was too much to pass through the fork!).

I did do one "touristy" thing - and that was take the Captain Zodiac boat ride around the Na Pali coast. It was spectacular. And the really cool thing was that they had a hydrophone on board, so we cut the engine of our boat and drifted and put the 'phone in to listen for whales. It wasn't prime whale season, but there were a few critters around that we could hear. Was very neat.

Have fun when you go and take lots of pictures!

AMAZING photos, V! Thanks so much and sorry it took me so long to get back to you. We are preparing for a trip and I've been insanely busy between that and end-of-the-school-year stuff for all the kids.

Kim, we're staying in Poipu at the Sheraton. It's right on a nice beach, I guess. Regina, the boat trip sounds cool! We're thinking of doing a bunch of stuff and need to make some decisions when we get back from our camping trip.

Thanks again, you wonderful women!!
