Kauai

I've been meaning to do this post for awhile. I had the most fabulous vacation... just the way that vacations were intended... in a beautiful, relaxing scenery... with about one thing to do each day, and all the rest of the time spent relaxing. Normally, when I take vacations they are just as busy or even more busy than real life and cause stress, so that when you come home, you need a vacation from your vacation. With this trip to Kauai (especially since I left the day after the marathon) I had every intention to keep my activities to a basic minimum... read, relax, and play at the beach... and that's just what I did. It's the only vacation I've had where at the end of the trip I wasn't ready to go home. I'd love to go back again some day...

Here are the major things I did while I was in Kauai
  • drive to visit all the cities on the island
  • two hikes (Na Pali coast and Shipwreck Hike)
  • catamaran sailing trip (to the Na Pali coast and back)
  • visit the "blowhole" (a place where the structure of the rocks and the intensity of the surf create a natural blowhole, similar to a whales)
  • boogie board at Brennecke Beach
  • lots of eating out
Here are some pictures from the trip...

Great post. I was hoping you'd do one on Kauai. I'm so glad you got to go and I'm glad you actually got to enjoy and relax on your vacation. I hope to go back one day too... without the kids (that might make it more relaxing... but it was still awesome, even with the kids.) :)
