Starting My Kauai Vacation

[slip]

After the tour we went to get another Boba and then headed west. We stopped at Port Allen and got some cookies and chocolate. Then headed to glass beach. The road is getting one bad spot again. On the right side at the top but I was still able to make it down there with my car. Really crowded so we didn’t get out.

After that we went to Hanapepe and stopped for a sandwich at midnight Bear bakery. They have good sandwiches. Then we headed back. Friends came over to check out our unit with the new renovations.

Out BBQing now, baked potatoes and ribeyes.

Grove Farm Museum was great. I love that history stuff. Two hours and easy walking. The house was beautiful.

That's the sort of Old Hawaii family home where I imagined my Koa wood clock would have hung.

It would definitely fit right in. Maybe you can stop at the lumber yard and try to convince the guy to cut you a piece? Or maybe you’ll get a different guy who will just offer to cut it for you.

I always say these are the biggest green onions I’ve ever seen.

I had planned to drop by there and see what's up. I was told before that they get it whenever, without any sort of schedule. Maybe with all the flooding, somebody cut up a felled tree. Won't hurt to check.

I took some pictures of the SunSail Cabana while I packed it away.

This is the t-bar that goes in the fabric that is beloved at on end. The pole that slides into the metal pole that goes into the sand screws into here.

How it looks when it’s not in the fabric.

The metal pole and the main sail part.

These are the back ends. They have like an open bag that you scoop sand into so they stay put. We keep a small scoop in the bag.

That’s about it. I can have it set up in about 5 minutes.

Lunch at Midnight Bear in Hanapepe town. Grilled Procecuto and cheese and Pesto and cheese.

You find the coolest places to eat!

Enjoying our last full day. A shower this morning and supposed to clear off soon. We are droppuoff the totes soon to get that out of the way.

DW wants to go to Java Kai for a Funky Monkey. After that we may head up north one last time but we’ll see.

DW loves the Haupia Pies at McDonald's and they had them in Kapaa starting today so we had to stop.

Fish Tacos at Coconuts in Kapaa for dinner tonight. We even made Happy Hour.

Tropical Dreams Liliko’i Cheesecake Ice Cream for desert.

I can’t retire yet either.
Our list for next time still has plenty but next trip is only a week here. We have a week on Maui first.

If you need to extend that Pono Kai time for 2019, I still have a couple of weeks available...

I wish I could stay three weeks. DW’s work won’t let her take that much at once.

Just made it on my last flight , Chicago to Madison. Got a couple more posts for this thread before I close out the vacation.

Glad everyone enjoyed it.

I have just arisen from the dead after the long trip home. I have a few more pictures and a post about the trip home to do to finish this up. Then I can start watching Dave's thread.
First I have to go get my dog from the sitters.

Welcome home, Jeff. You have given me some mighty big shoes to fill.

Your on Maui, it will be easy.

Your in trouble now, I figured our how to do the video. So now you get to see me fumble around and look stupid doing these videos.

This one was a test. I shot this three years ago while walking back from Sam's ocean view, now the beach walk. I have to upload them first then I'll be able to post.

Our surprise visitor on our lanai the first morning.

Here’s the new video of the renovated Pono Kai units that my wife made for me.

Yep per cart, $60 and the cart holds two people. It leaves from the Makai Grill at the golf course and you can grab drinks there. I posted the link in a post above. It was about two hours in the cart and making stops along the way. It was fun and anyone can do it.

Anyone? Looks like fun. Thanks for the link.
