Who wouldn't want to go to Elfland? If you and your family are vacationing on Kauai this month, the Montessori School in Kapaa is holding a special event December 19-23 for children ages 5-12.  Because sometimes you just can't spend the whole day at the beach. From 8am–3pm at "Elfland," children can make gifts, cards, wrapping paper and decorations for...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/12/calling-all-elves/feed/ 0 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/10/pot-pie-on-kauai-new-bakery-opens-in-lihue/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/10/pot-pie-on-kauai-new-bakery-opens-in-lihue/#comments Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:54:46 +0000 Debra http://www.jeanandabbott.com/?p=7387
Kauai's very popular purveyor of fresh pies - The Right Slice Bakery -  now has a retail location in the Puhi Industrial Park in Lihue. They just had their grand opening (sorry, you missed the pie-eating contest), but you can pick up fresh pies daily from 11-6, or enjoy a slice and a cup of coffee there. The Right Slice...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/10/pot-pie-on-kauai-new-bakery-opens-in-lihue/feed/ 0 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/08/martha-stewarts-kauai-honeymoon-pick/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/08/martha-stewarts-kauai-honeymoon-pick/#comments Wed, 10 Aug 2011 21:13:21 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://www.jeanandabbott.com/?p=7101
What more can I say? If Martha likes it, you're gonna love it. One of our favorite Kauai vacation rentals, the Hawaiian Romantic Cottage was a recent pick in Martha Stewart Weddings. A secluded retreat on an ocean bluff with a private path to the beach, this northshore gem at Anini Beach is perfect for a wedding, a honeymoon -...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/08/martha-stewarts-kauai-honeymoon-pick/feed/ 0 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/07/the-perfect-kauai-vacation-rental/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/07/the-perfect-kauai-vacation-rental/#comments Wed, 13 Jul 2011 02:47:11 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://www.jeanandabbott.com/?p=6973
When I say, "you won't want to leave," I really mean you won't want to leave this spectacular new Kauai vacation rental on the bluffs above Anini Beach. It's not just the infinity pool, where you can do laps under azure skies while gazing on forever... or the quiet, secluded location (yet close to everything: dining, shops, golf, beaches)… or...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/07/the-perfect-kauai-vacation-rental/feed/ 0 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/05/kauai-weddings-and-hanalei-by-moonlight/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/05/kauai-weddings-and-hanalei-by-moonlight/#comments Mon, 16 May 2011 17:24:08 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://www.jeanandabbott.com/?p=6594
Could there be a more idyllic place to say, "I do" than Hanalei Bay, Kauai? We don't think so, and legions of happy brides agree. Must have something to do with kissing under a rainbow, or a waterfall, or seeing Hanalei by moonlight…? If you are looking for an awesome wedding photographer, Sara Wall's exquisite work has to be seen...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/05/kauai-weddings-and-hanalei-by-moonlight/feed/ 0 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/04/paint-kauais-gardens/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/04/paint-kauais-gardens/#comments Wed, 06 Apr 2011 01:20:22 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://www.jeanandabbott.com/?p=6450
Release your inner plein air April 17 at this special Kauai art event at the National Tropical Botanical Garden’s Southshore Visitor Center.

Towering kamani trees, swaying palms, a sprawling front lawn… the Kauai beachfront homes at Hale O’ Naue are an escape to “old Hawaii.” With views of Bali Hai—made famous in the movie South Pacific —these two luxury air-conditioned vacation homes are just steps from world-renowned Tunnels Beach, a few miles from the Kalalau trailhead (the beginning of the Na Pali...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/03/kauai-beachfront-rentals-hawaii-airfare-sale/feed/ 0 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/12/babymoons-brand-new-excuse-for-a-kauai-vacation/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/12/babymoons-brand-new-excuse-for-a-kauai-vacation/#comments Sun, 26 Dec 2010 19:07:18 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://www.jeanandabbott.com/?p=5721
Babymoon? Huh? What's a babymoon? After hearing the word pop up several times I did a little checking. Evidently “babymoons” are the hottest new travel trend—“pre-baby” vacations—to give prospective parents time to relax and reconnect before birth—or “post-baby” getaways to give the new family time to bond. Of course, I’m in favor of any excuse for a vacation (especially on...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/12/babymoons-brand-new-excuse-for-a-kauai-vacation/feed/ 2 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/12/baby-its-kinda-cold-outside/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/12/baby-its-kinda-cold-outside/#comments Fri, 10 Dec 2010 23:44:05 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://www.jeanandabbott.com/?p=5604
Well, actually, it’s about 75 degrees, but it might dip all the way down to 67 tonight! If you’re considering booking a winter vacation on Kauai, your best bet for consistently sunny weather is on the south shore. Like Hale Kai, a quaint two bedroom beachfront cottage with spectacular views of the Poipu coastline. Hale Kai means “ocean house”—and this...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/12/baby-its-kinda-cold-outside/feed/ 1 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/11/heavenly-anini-bluff-vacation-rental/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/11/heavenly-anini-bluff-vacation-rental/#comments Tue, 09 Nov 2010 03:53:05 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://abbott.app7.net/?p=5005
People say if there's a heaven on Earth it must be Kauai, and this Anini Bluff vacation rental is nothing short of celestial.  Located above Anini Beach, this is such a great location - the ocean views are awesome, and it's safe, quiet, and just minutes from the great beaches and all the amenities of Princeville and the north shore....]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/11/heavenly-anini-bluff-vacation-rental/feed/ 0
