A Saturday in Hanalei….

Posted at June 19, 2010

Grandpa Mike & the Boys

My family has a pretty ‘typical Saturday’… the morning starts at Java Kai, the local Hanalei coffee shop where mom gets her morning espresso and the boys get the usual, Kauai Waffle (home-made waffles with fresh fruit, whip cream, toasted coconut and macadamia nuts). Next stop on the list, the Hanalei Farmer’s Market… heheheee, my favorite! We walk the rows & load up on organic salad mixes, sprouts, apple bananas, mangoes, papayas, white pineapple, lychee... wheewww, all that shopping, hot sun and thirsty mouths lead us straight to the last fruit stand, the Acai Lady!!

About Kauai

Posted at April 16, 2009

If you’ve ever visited Kauai, then you most certainly can’t wait to come back. If this is your first time visiting the Island, then no doubt you are filled with anticipation and excitement.

The oldest and 4th largest island in the Hawaiian chain, Kauai is a lush paradise fondly known as the “Garden Island”. One of the least populated Hawaiian islands, and famous for its raw and breathtaking beauty, Kauai has a variety of climates and stunning geological features ranging from desert to rain forest, a mini-Grand Canyon, waterfall laden cliffs and coastlines and the largest white sand beaches in the state. Whether you experience Kauai by land, air or sea or the comfort of your chaise lounge on your lanai in one of our luxury Kauai Vacation Rentals, Kauai has something to offer everyone.

Be prepared to unwind and decompress from frenetic city life, the only crowds you’ll experience on Kauai are the throng of locals and visitors at the weekly outdoor farmer’s markets. December through April each year the Humpback Whales make their migration to our warm Hawaiian waters to mate and give birth. Many coastal areas of Kauai offer ideal vantage points to observe these “gentle giants” as well as dolphins and turtles as they frolic in the ocean.

Our Kauai Vacation Blog is the perfect place to visit often or subscribe by email – to learn more about all that Kauai has to offer for your next Hawaiian vacation.
