Peace and tranquility return to Kauai
And all is quiet here in Kauai.
The joyful faces as they experience the wonders of Kauai.
We had fun. Lot’s of sea and sand. Joyful squeals from the teens at each new adventure.
Josh takes on Kauai.
Megan calls Kauai her own.
We all had the greatest adventure. On their first few days here Chris and I showed our guests the Kauai highlights. Then they used our car the cruise the island for family adventures on their own, while we played golf, all were happy. We sampled Hawaiian delights like shave ice at Jo-Jo’s.
yummy
Our favorite #2 tropical rainbow shave ice with macadamia nut ice cream, simply the best.
The swinging bridge in Waimea.
They liked the swinging bridge and enjoyed the view, but the all time favorite was swinging on the rope at Kipu falls.
Megan flies through the air, with the greatest of ease.
We made new friends and got close to nature.
Monk seal rests after a long swim.
Megan makes friends with the locals.
We met a really nice man and his daughter that were so nice and allowed Megan to join them for a horse romp on the beach.
Riders on the sand, Megan and friends.
Post card moments in Kauai.
Riding at the edge of the surf in Kekaha.
Riding in style.
Ready to snorkel.
Snorkeling with the "Birds in Paradise" overhead.
There is always time to rest and relax with a good book.
Sunset at Waimea pier.
All of the activities on this entry were absolutely free except for the cost of the shave ice, which was a delicious bargain at $4.50 with macadamia ice cream or $3.00 without. We splurged for the ice cream and it was worth it.
Another lovely sunset at Salt Pond Park.

Hi! I saw on another site that you stayed at the Kalaheo plantation. I couldn’t find a blog entry about it, but I did enjoy all of your photographs. 🙂
My husband and I are going to Kaui in Oct/Nov and we are staying at the marriott Beach club in Lihue. Being a frugalista myself, I need to find a place for us to stay the four nights after our free stay at my in-laws timeshare runs out and before we take our ff trip home.
I was hoping to stay on a different part of the island for the last four nights and we will have a car. Any recommendations? I considered the YMCA on the North Shore, but my husband said no–he had a notsogreat experience at a hostel in Bar Harbor. 🙂 Thanks!

How inexpensively were you wanting to travel? You can easily get lodging for 4 days in Lihue for $75 a night. You could contact Aloha Estates but I would wait until it’s almost time to go to contact them as they may not want to give you a bargain rate until the last minute. If there is a vacancy you can get a bargain. Busy season in Kauai doesn’t really start till Christmas week so you should be able to find something reasonable. To find the best bargain, use craigslist.
