Once again, we had a lovely time on the Garden Isle, although it was a bit warmer than we recall it being on past trips. We are more frequently here in October or November, and August was a bit. . . swampy. But even so, the Trade Winds kept us cool in the condo most …
Today, our last full day on Kaua’i, was fairly laid back, but also came with a few errands to run. I had contemplated using this as our scooter make-up day, but in the end was pretty glad we didn’t since I’m not sure we would have had time for our various acquisition runs. We started …
In 2014, we took the Drive and Hike version of the East and North Shore tour offered by Kauai Photo Tours. We were so happy with the experience that we booked another tour with them for this trip, this time for the South Shore. These tours are led by a professional photographer who drives a …

Here’s a taste of the spectacular sunrise photos from this morning; more are at the end of this post. We spent another day today with a pooch from the Kaua’i Humane Society. We were running a bit behind getting there and, having seen how things worked a few days ago, I knew we couldn’t be …

Sunrise! Today was a BIG DAY! You may recall me waxing poetic about the Alaka’i Swamp Trail back in my 2014 post and how I was so excited that day to have actually made it past the Pihea Trail and a ways onto the Alaka’i Swamp Trail. That was a good day, but I knew …

Made it up for sunrise again today. Although it wasn’t raining at that point, the clouds in the sky were a sign of things yet to come. Today was supposed to be the day we were going to ride mopeds around the back roads of the Kapa’a area. I have spent several hours poring over …
It’s a rare day on Kaua’i that doesn’t include much in the way of photos, but today was a very low-key day. We started the day with a drive over to the North Shore to go to the Hanalei Art & Farmer’s Market. The art portion was fairly small, but we did get a few …
Finally made it to the shore for sunrise this morning! I must finally be feeling better. Today was a brand new activity for us, even though we spent it visiting a few places we’ve been before. Today we took a dog from the Kaua’i Humane Society out for a field trip! What a seriously great …
Uggh, still sick. Got up for sunrise, but couldn’t make myself head down to the shore. That’s okay, it was fine, but it wasn’t a particularly spectacular sunrise anyway. After a piece of dry toast, I laid down and went back to sleep for another hour and a half. That was definitely the right call. …
Rain was coming down pretty hard when I got up this morning for the sunrise, but it stopped just in time for me to head out to the shore. Unfortunately, the sunrise was pretty much a non-event, with far too many clouds on the horizon to allow much to be seen. We had other plans …
