Winter Vacation in Kauai!

It's our first winter without high school basketball, so we get to do a winter vacation to Kauai!  We flew from Boston where Don was working to Lihue for ten days in the sun.  Well, the weather didn't really cooperate and we ended up with more cloudy/rainy days than sunny.

The first few nights we stayed at one of our favorite Marriott's.  We love the pool and access to the beach and Duke's restaurant.

We moved to Princeville on the north shore and enjoyed a week at the Cliff's.  A rainy weekend kept us in to relax and watch all the football and basketball games on tv.  As the weather cleared up we headed to some of our favorite beaches - Tunnels, Hanalei Bay, and Hideaways.

Tunnels Beach

Tunnels Beach

Our favorite - shave ice from the Wishing Well in Hanaeli

Hideaways Beach - It was a CHALLENGE to get down to it this year.  Slippery muddy path from all the rain we've been having.

We took a day long tour of the island.  It was informative and fun.

We finished up the week on the Hanalei Bay beach.
