Sailing the Na Pali coast - anniversary - 2006

Kaua'i - "The Garden Isle"

Welcome to Kaua'i - the oldest of the Hawaiian islands...and my absolute favorite place on earth (so far.) Kaua'i was forged from the sea by volcanic activity...like all the Hawaiian islands. Though there are no active volcanoes on Kaua'i, the topographical nature of the island shows its history. If you were to think of the "paradise" theme of Hawai'i, Kaua'i is the perfect representative for all the islands. I eagerly await another visit to this heaven on earth. Here I am sailing the Na Pali coast in 2006.

Land of endless beauty

Sunrise in paradise - 2006

Kaua'i truly is one of the most heavenly destinations you could ever experience. The sights, smells, & passion of this island will capture your heart & soul forever. Everywhere you go, there is something unique and beautiful to add to your memories.

You want scenery? You've got scenery!!

Wailua Falls - Kaua'i - 2006

If you want endless scenic beauty, Kaua'i will knock your socks off! I don't know what's more beautiful: The Na Pali coast? Waimea Canyon? The endless choice of heavenly beaches? The abundant marine life? The foliage & fauna? The waterfalls? If nature is what you need to rejuvenate your mind, body, & soul...visit Kaua'i...you won't regret it. Actually, you won't want to go home. :-)

Pros and Cons

Pros:Everything, everything, everything!!!
Cons:What cons?? - ...maybe a bit pricy...but well worth it!!
In a nutshell:The closest I've ever been to heaven
