And like all good things, our vacation in paradise must come to an end. We made the most of our last day in Kauai. We stayed at the property for the most part and just admired the unbeatable view. Just soaking it all in... Dinner at Makana Terrace, the food and service was excellent! We had an awesome time - thanks to the breathtaking views, spectacular sunsets, and amazing hotel location. We'll be back... Have a great ... View the Post

Our to-do list for this day: drive to Wailua Falls, stop by the Kilauea Lighthouse, and lounge at the hotel. But first, we had to start our day with a breakfast buffet at Joe's favorite spot - the Makana Terrace at St. Regis. Top 5 reasons why Joe loved having breakfast at the Makana Terrace: incredible view of Hanalei Bay and Makana Mountain, great food, guava juice, soothing sound of waves, and the perfect setting to enjoy the moment with wifey ;) Not necessarily in that order.

We started our day early in preparation for our trip to the west side of Kaua'i. We drove to Waimea Canyon aka "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific" and enjoyed the scenic views from the lookout. We attempted to hike one of the trails in the area, but only got halfway. The trail was too muddy and slippery from the rain earlier in the morning. So, we drove to the Kalalau Lookout and was greeted with the spectacular view of the heart of the Kalalau Valley. It was one awesome view! Go around 0900 or ... View the Post

Despite the rain, we decided to go on a Kayak and Snorkel Tour on Hanalei River. So glad we did, we had a great time! Our tour guides talked about Hawaiian history, the mountains - including Puff the Magic Dragon, and taught us some words in Hawaiian (sadly, I can only recall a few.) This picture reminds me of how peaceful and beautiful this place was. Our tour guides entertained us with a few Hawaiian songs during lunchtime. While Joe and the rest of ... View the Post

It was a beautiful day in Princeville! We headed towards Ha'ena State Park and attempted a hike on the Kalalau Trail. On the way, we stopped by a couple of beaches to enjoy the view, get a breath of fresh air, and take photos. Tunnels Beach We probably hiked less than a mile, before heading back. It rained earlier and the trail was slippery and muddy. Needless to say, I chickened out. It was too much for my healing sprained right ankle. We ended up in ... View the Post
