Kauai like legends of old, holds the siren song for many travelers with her lush tropical splendor that assault all the senses. Her 'aina' (land), her natural surroundings has many secrets and lessons for us, and along with that splendor and beauty is also a dark side that is an exacting teacher in its own right.   Many times those areas...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/07/you-say-kipu-i-say-kapu/feed/ 0 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/07/hanalei-fun-sandcastles-and-swimming-july-30/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2011/07/hanalei-fun-sandcastles-and-swimming-july-30/#comments Fri, 22 Jul 2011 20:06:10 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://www.jeanandabbott.com/?p=7037

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...]]> http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/06/a-saturday-in-hanalei/feed/ 0 http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/02/snorkel-bob-foundation-protecting-our-ocean/ http://www.jeanandabbott.com/2010/02/snorkel-bob-foundation-protecting-our-ocean/#comments Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:10:53 +0000 Shelah Jean Abubo http://www.jeanandabbottblog.com/?p=770

Nestled at the base of a sheer cliff just north of Kilauea, Secret Beach is well off the beaten track for good reason. You must hike down (and back up!) a rocky trail which zigzags through trees, gullies, and brush. You can drive only to the trail’s beginning at the top of the cliff.
