Five Amazing Sights - Kauai, Hawaii

I have a few sights to share from our trip to the island of Kauai, Hawaii!

Yes, that's why its' been so quiet here - between the trip, the 4th of July holiday, catching back up at work and my photo hard drive crapping out, I've been too busy to blog. No worries on the hard drive - I had a full back up of all my files. More on that in a later blog post. I know you would rather see photos of Kauai instead of hearing about file back ups (but seriously, if you haven't backed up your files / photos, please DO IT NOW!).

1. The southern part of Kauai - the Poipu Beach area. This beach is called Shipwreck's beach and was great for boogie boarding.

2. Hule'ia Stream, where you can kayak or SUP downstream, flanked by the Hau’pu Mountains

3. The Kilauea Lighthouse - on the north east side of the island

4. The Waimea Canyon - dubbed the Grand Canyon of Hawaii

5. The Na Pali Coast - a truly amazing and magical place, only accessible by boat, foot (difficult hike) or helicopter. The background setting of several Hollywood films.

All photos were taken with my iPhone 6. Once I get my hard drive situation stabilized, I'll be able to get the photos off my big camera and write up proper blog posts on our amazing adventure!

  11. Fabulous reason to not be blogging - stinks about the hard drive but I'm sure you'll be up and running in no time. So, so many years since I was to Hawaii but I still remember how incredibly beautiful the island of Kauai was.
