Hawaii

This is a late post, but I wanted to share with everyone some beautiful pictures from our trip to Hawaii. We went from May 30 through June 6. When we arrived at the airport and e-checked in we realized we were a day late (we were supposed to leave on the 29th and I thought the 29th was Friday-which was actually the 30th) Not a good start. The good thing though we were able to update our tickets and get on the next available flight. There was a delay from Boise to San Fran, but other than that no problems. We did miss our 1st night in Honolulu and Pearl Harbor because our connecting flight was that night to our island of Kauai. We loved every minute of our vacation. We bought a book that told us where to go and what to see, eat, etc...don't always believe the books. But we snorkeled, body surfed, took a helicopter ride, catamarran ride, hiked, and ziplined. We loved our condo and can't wait to return. The best food was Scotty's barbeque. Loved our summer vacation.



On the catamarran in and out of the tunnels. During the winter the water is so high they can't boat in to the crevices. This is also the part of the island that you can only see by boat or flight.


Waiting for the boat (This was also our last day on the island. Our flight out was 6:00 p.m. and so after we were done we were wet and sandy with no place to change or shower. It was a long ride home.)




Our helicopter ride was so fun. It was cold and drizzling a little and we had no doors. This is something Perry has always wanted to do and it was worth every dollar.
On the helicopter (I couldn't believe how many canyons were on this little island.)
On the zipline.







The peacocks were beautiful. This is on the shuttle ride at the Smith's Plantation right before the luau.

The roosters are everywhere on the island.

At the luau.
