2 Weeks in Hawaii Part 3 -Kauai

Heather and; I enjoy the leis Kirk got us at the airport in Honolulu.
(This is supposed to be the last picture)
It was fun to watch the rain falling in the distance; within 5 minutes, it was raining on us.
Here is the Kilauea Lighthouse on the North shore of Kauai.
Amazing scenery, wouldn't you agree?
We took a paved pathway from our condo area down to the private beach.
This was the view on the way down.



Kirk snorkeled here and saw many beautiful fish.



We paddled up to the sand and parked our kayak here. We found a cabana to use and stayed here for a few hours. We ate snacks and Kirk and I floated in the warm water. What a beautiful spot!
We kayaked up the Hanalei River to Hanalei Bay. Here we are going out to the bay.
This is one of MANY sunset pictures that we took from our patio.

This is what is known as the "Bali Hai" beach. This is where they filmed parts of the musical "South Pacific".


We rented a one-bedroom condo that had just been remodeled. It had granite counters and new appliances. We found it through Lynn Luttrell's friends at Remax Kauai. It is Pali Ke Kua #118.
Our condo on the North Shore was in Princeville. It was ocean front with a 270 degree ocean view. Here is a view from inside the livingroom.
Here are Lynn and I at church on Sunday. They attend Anahola Baptist Church. Lynn grew up at Granada and went to Kauai as a teacher for one term. She married Phil and they have been there for 32 years!
We spent a day at Phil & Lynn Luttrell's home in Lihue, Kauai. He works with Child Evangelism and she owns and is principal of Olelo Christian School. Kirk spray painted many desks while I organized her school files and mailing lists. Little Joey has been adopted by them and really took to Kirk. He followed him around all day, showing him his bugs and other interests. Kirk enjoyed his company. He came and sat by Kirk & I at church the following Sunday.

What a beautiful trip! I'm so glad you put pictures up - I've been checking hoping you would! Did you help at the camp on Kauai also?

We originally wanted to help at camp, but our free airline ticket date did not fit that time frame. So, we just helped them after they came home from camp. Lynn was doing her 64th load of laundry when we arrived!!!
