Aloha!

From Kauai....

First time here. Most people say Kauai is their favorite of the Hawaiian Islands. After 4 days, it comes in 2nd to Maui to me, but still pretty close to perfection nonetheless.

Some of the highlights since Shannon and I arrived Thursday afternoon, staying at the Sheraton at Poipu Beach.
The beach... Gorgeous.
Green & flowers everywhere. So serene.
Chickens. Yes, I said chickens. They roam the streets. And the stores. And the pool area. Crazy.
The Beach House restaurant (seems to be recommend by everyone who has been to Kauai).
The ice cream pie at The Dolphin. Combo of banana, coconut & macadamia nuts on an Oreo crust. Wow.
Waimea Canyon. 30 minute drive for an amazing, colorful view.
The Shrimp Station on the way to Waimea Canyon. Coconut shrimp. Thai shrimp. Channeling Forest Gump!

Sunshine, ocean air, great food, relaxation... Now off to Maui in a few hours.
Mahalo!
