Welcome to Kauai!

Aloha! And thanks for joining us on our travelblog to Kauai. You will want to start here and scroll down, as the pictures are (more or less) presented in chronological order from the top of the blog to the bottom (unlike most blogs, which are bottom up).

Our family, in spite of brief illnesses among the 4 of us, had a wonderful time on Hawaii's Garden Isle. We managed to snorkel, sail, eat lots of food, play at the beach, and simply enjoyed the beauty of this island.

It certainly won't be our last visit!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this virtual vacation!

Opaekaa Falls, just a couple of miles from the beach.


The Wailua River valley. On the left side is the field on which Indiana Jones ran escaping the villagers in the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The village in the right hand side was used in the Dustin Hoffman film, Outbreak; it was the village that was destroyed due to the ebola outbreak.
