Day 304/Day 10 – Part 2

The Spouting Horn!  This is a lava tube through the rocks, that the water rushes into and the spouts upwards as a geyser. They say there used to be a much bigger one just around the corner, but a plantation owner blew it up because the salt water spray wasn’t good for his pineapple crop. […]

Day 304/Day 10 – Part 1

A bit of the previous evening that deserves to be seen… A then can we start the day with a rainbow!  (Photo by the DLW) We headed south today to Poipu Beach to see if there were actually turtles there as reported.  The landscape changes dramatically from what we have up north in Princeville. The […]

Day 303/Day 9

A quick run up the road past Hanalei.  This is the overlook! We use this overlook a lot.  Several of the photos on the Blog are from it.  This is looking down the beach before where our beach photos are taken. There is a large cave near the end of the road.  People wade around […]

Day 302/Day 8

A beautiful morning to take out the trash! Oh, and the wildlife, too!  In the Unit.  Well, it is the first one we have seen in Hawai’i, so I guess we are lucky!  The man with the Raid can said they get into rental cars (and ruined a lot of them over the pandemic while […]

Day 230/Day 6 – Part 1

A quick run to the Princeville Foodland last night…this was the checkout line.  Only two cashiers on the job.  I think the building could use a refresh…like a whole new building! We went to the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge this morning.  It is the northern most point of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands.  We have […]

Day 298/Day4 (and a few more!)

My morning office and breakfast bar! (Cellphone panorama with Yvonne DeCarlo!) It was rainy today.  We headed up to Hanalei, and looked at the views through the misty rain… It looks like a Christmas ornament…have to up our game this year… From the beach: distant mountains and the surf.  All in the rain. W headed […]

Day 297/Day 3 – Part 3

It was a quiet afternoon.  Although we are beside a main road, it isn’t too noisy. And then there are the chickens.  No one should ever go hungry on Kaua’i if they can catch a chicken!  They are everywhere.  This one is out on our Lanai.  They like to crow and cackle all night long!

Day 297/Day 3 – Part 1

We drove up to Hanalei and the end of the road.  The park there is now reservation only but there is a shuttle bus you can take from Hanalei to miss out on the fun of one lane bridges! Here is a view with a cruise ship (maybe the one we were on back in […]

Day 296/Day 2

We stopped for “Breakfast Strombolis” the next morning on the way back to Lihue.  Pretty good, and a half is huge! You eat with the birds in Hawai’i.  I had forgotten how noisy it can be, even without the roosters running free here! We headed back to Princeville after hitting Costco and Walmart for some […]

Day 288
