Flight Around Kaua’i Today

We are currently waiting for a flight around the island of Kaua’i. We
decided we are a little tired with all the driving and such we have been
doing. I’ll get some pictures posted tonight from yesterday and today’s
activities. We were exhausted yesterday and went to bed about 9pm….

Torch Lighting Ceremony

The Hilton Kauai Beach Resort does a nice "Torch Lighting Ceremony" at 6pm that lasts about a half hour. It includes traditional Polynesian dances and flaming sword dancer.

Hilton Kauai Beach Resort

This is a view out our hotel room at the Hilton Kauai Beach Resort on Kauai, just north of Lihue. We have a ground floor room right on the "lagoon".

We are both exhausted, so we think we will cut back a little on the exploring of
Kauai, and maybe take a helicopter ride around the island tomorrow after our free breakfast buffet. Just have to wait and see….

Landing at Lihue, Kauai…..

Short flight…. This is the first sight of land we saw, the southeast Kauai Coast.

Then we passed the cruise ship docking area, just a couple miles from the airport.
