Kauai - The Garden Isle, even more laid back!

January 4, 2016 - Kapaa, Kauai, Hawaii

Took an island hopper over from Oahu on New Years Day, after saying goodbye to the boys.  Here's Tom on our last sunset there:






We're staying in the largest town on the island of Kauai, the oldest, and furthest Northwest of the larger islands.  Kapaa has a little over 6,000 full time residents, don't know how many vacationers, but a LOT.  There's a cool little lounge/bar/nightclub near our place that serves some excellent bacon wrapped shrimp over a refreshing cole slaw with a molasses drizzle.





Connie and I hiked the East Trail of the Sleeping Giant a couple of days ago, the trailhead is a couple of miles from our condo, so we walked, then took the 1.75 mile hike (1,000 ft vertical) with gorgeous views around the island:






Today we visited the nearby Wailua Falls, which has their very own Pig Greeter!  Fun times.
