KAUAI!!!!

Aloha!!! From the Garden Isle....

I am having serious technical issues trying to blog pictures! I dont know if it is the wireless connection that is slow...or whether the whole island is just slow. Anyhow, I will have to deal with the pictures when we get back to the mainland.  For now this picture will have to do!  This is the Na'pali coastline of Kauai! Before we arrived in Kauai I had read about this coastline and how it is the MUST see of the island. However, it is unaccessible by road. So you either hike (11 miles in and 11 miles out) or kayak (16 miles one way) or helitour.  It is truly spectacular. We have seen it from the air (helicopter tour). We have seen it from high above (driving up canyon and then hiking) and we have seen it from the coastline (we did a one mile sampling of the eleven mile trail).  The views of this area are so amazing.  As we drive along the island...I just cant stop looking around....it is like a postcard every where you look! Im so glad we rented a convertible so I could take pictures along the way. SO BEAUTIFUL!!! The beaches have been amazing and the weather is perfect! We are trying to soak in the sun, because rumor has it there is snow in the forecast in Calgary! Anyhow...just wanted to let our babysitters know we are doing fine...and survived the helicopter tour!  Thank you SOOOOO much Kristin and the Dahls for having our kids!! And for everyone else who is having them for dinner and to the zoo!! Many Mahalo's!!!
