Day 305/Day11 – Part 1

Sunday, October 30, 2022

It started out a bit rainy.  But we had been passing by this nice looking mini-golf that apparently had, of all things, a “fire show” one Wednesday nights…we got two tickets! Then we ran down to Ka’paa, but we decided to explore a bit and ran through the actual town, not just the touristy bits.  […]

Day 304/Day 10 – Part 4

Thursday, October 27, 2022

The long, wet road home! We drove around after lunch, and about when we headed back to the beach at Poipu it started to sprinkle…but we saw a rainbow! Rain in Poipu… “There’s a Giant Leek in the Street!” (Classical reference…go ahead and ask.  I dare you!) Then the sun broke out, we found a […]

Day 304/Day 10 – Part 3

Thursday, October 27, 2022

We were driving along minding our own business when what should appear, but the Kaua’i Coffee Company fields and Gift Shop!  We really like their coffee, so stop we did! Coffee Beans…3100 acres, >4,000,000 coffee bean bushes! What else might they have there? Why of course, a giant tin chicken! Here is the Dailylife Wife […]

Day 304/Day 10 – Part 2

Thursday, October 27, 2022

The Spouting Horn!  This is a lava tube through the rocks, that the water rushes into and the spouts upwards as a geyser. They say there used to be a much bigger one just around the corner, but a plantation owner blew it up because the salt water spray wasn’t good for his pineapple crop. […]

Day 304/Day 10 – Part 1

Thursday, October 27, 2022

A bit of the previous evening that deserves to be seen… A then can we start the day with a rainbow!  (Photo by the DLW) We headed south today to Poipu Beach to see if there were actually turtles there as reported.  The landscape changes dramatically from what we have up north in Princeville. The […]

Day 303/Day 9

Thursday, October 27, 2022

A quick run up the road past Hanalei.  This is the overlook! We use this overlook a lot.  Several of the photos on the Blog are from it.  This is looking down the beach before where our beach photos are taken. There is a large cave near the end of the road.  People wade around […]

Day 302/Day 8

Monday, October 24, 2022

A beautiful morning to take out the trash! Oh, and the wildlife, too!  In the Unit.  Well, it is the first one we have seen in Hawai’i, so I guess we are lucky!  The man with the Raid can said they get into rental cars (and ruined a lot of them over the pandemic while […]

Day 301/Day 7

Monday, October 24, 2022

We wandered down to Ka’paa for a little shopping at Safeway and a fabric store.  A slow day overall. Lunch by the beach! While there wasn’t much railroad activity in Hawai’i, there was some.  Here is a railroad trestle left right in the middle of Ka’paa!  Mainly it was plantation trains here, to get the […]

Day 230/Day6 – Part 2

Monday, October 24, 2022

From Kilauea Point NWR we went down to Anini Beach.  They even allow camping there…with a reservation. From there is was back to Hanalei and lunch.  Despite  looking “healthy” this thing (which tasted pretty good) has 36 Grams of carbs and lots of calories. We ate at the L&L BBQ counter.  This is a hamburger […]

Day 230/Day 6 – Part 1

Monday, October 24, 2022

A quick run to the Princeville Foodland last night…this was the checkout line.  Only two cashiers on the job.  I think the building could use a refresh…like a whole new building! We went to the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge this morning.  It is the northern most point of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands.  We have […]
