Back from Kauai.
Ahhh… can a girl ask for a more relaxing vacation? I went to Kauai knowing very little about it, but after a week on this ambrosial island I can see why people love Hawaii. I’m continuing to upload photos to Flickr, so keep checking there for more in the next few days. Here are a few highlights:
Moloa'a Beach
The beaches… ah, the North shore won for me! Lumahai, Ha’ena, and Moloa’a were sublime lozenges of sand with sparkling clear turquoise water. I could spend a long time being a beach bum, roaming from one to another…
Moloa'a Sunrise Fruit Stand
Fresh fruit was everywhere… I grew up eating lots of fruit, so the abundant pineapple, papaya, apple bananas and coconut made me very happy. Along with Angeline’s lomi massage, I was in heaven 
Walking in Allerton Garden
The gardens… Allerton Garden down in the southern National Tropical Botanical Garden, along with its more primal sister Limahuli Garden in the north, kept me enchanted for many hours.
Waimea Canyon
Waimea Canyon… the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” was truly stellar, especially by helicopter (thank you, Mike from Blue Hawaiian)!
Na Pali Coast
The Na Pali coast was breathtaking. It had dazzingly remote beaches, towering mountain cliffs and endless miles of blue, blue water… mmm, Kauai. I’ll be back.
