Aloha! Jackie and I are missing our snorkeling partners already! This morning Jackie and I said goodby to Carol and her family as they needed to get back to the cold and wind of Washington. Sure wish their visit could have lasted longer as we sure had fun while they were here. I will try to get you caught up on what we have been up to since our last post. Most of Monday was reserved for the luau although Mike, Jackie and I did get a nice snorkel in at Tunnels. We saw a lot of fish and I even managed to see a tako (Hawaiian for octopus). By the time I could get Mike and Jackie's attention he had already found a hole to duck back into. While we were snorkeling Cindi and the rest of the gang did a little more shopping in Hanalei. After our snorkel we gave Mike a brief glimpse of Ke'e beach. It is located at the end of the road on the north shore and only a short distance from Tunnels. After this we all met back at Mike and Cindi's so we could get ready for the luau. On the way to the luau we made a side trip to Opaeka'a Falls. It is located just a short distance from the luau site and well worth the drive. The Smith family puts on a very nice luau and Jackie and I feel it is one of the things you should do if you visit Kauai. The luau is located on 30 acres of very well maintained grounds with enough ponds and flowers to make the before dinner stroll a must do. On Tuesday Jackie and I took Carol on a tour of the island's Coconut Coast. We drove down Papa'a Road so Carol could catch a glimpse of the Hole in the Mountain. Then it was down Aliomanu Road so we could show her the shore line from there. Our next stop was a brief glimpse of Anahola Beach Park, then it was on to Wailua Falls. Our next stop was at Kilohana with a side trip up a little road that goes past the Lutheran Church on the way. After we left Kilohana we gave Carol a tour of the Marriott located at Nawiliwili Harbor. This is a very pretty place and I wish we could have given Carol the full tour but she is just a little bit like her mother and would not let us get her a wheelchair so by the time we arrived here she was pretty tired from all the walking. We did manage to show her the koi ponds and even had a chance to sit on a bench and talk a little story. After we left the Marriott we drove her thru Lydgate Park then it was back to the house with a trip down Kealia Road on the way. We have a short video of our adventures and I will post it later along with a video I promised the other day.
