kaua'i...constant beauty!





We saw so many amazing things in Kaua'i. On Thursday evening we treated ourselves to a boat trip to the Na Pali Coast....it was a sunset cruise. Dinner was served, delicious drinks at the bar and the crew were very accommodating. Three very nice young men...taking care of a crowd of about 30 people, of which 8 were our group of ladies. As the Captain steered the boat, the two crew members tended the passengers....assisted by carrying drinks, steadying us as we walked about the decks( the sea were rough that evening) and even took care of the few seasick tourists.Fortunately I had remembered to take the sea sickness pill. I often succumb to Mal De Mer, but I evaded it this trip and had a wonderful time.

I take back everything bad I ever said about "buttcracks". Kaua'i seems to have a completely different variety then the ones seen in Kansas City! I photographed it, of course, for purely scientific and educational reasons! Enjoy!!

PS this is one of the crew members! He didn't mind!!

Goodbye...Kaua'i..it makes me sad to leave!



Our bags are packed, we are ready to go....leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again...

Wrong..I have a goal... coming back in one year to hike the trails and pack in to areas only accessible by foot or kayak..my training plan for the next year is under development. There are two of us that are planning and possibly a third coming in by kayak....will keep you posted ..anyone else interested??
