Gidget Goes Hawaiian- Kauai & Aulani 8/2012 TR- 5/24 COMPLETE!!

[Misskitty3]

That is SOOOOO exciting!!! And you will see that my photos of Kauai are NOTHING compared to the beauty that it really is. Where are you staying? Which side of the island?

I am pretty excited! 6 months from today! We really, really like the Big Island but after seeing your pictures.....I think we are going to love Kauai.

We are staying here:http://koloalandingresort.com in Poipu Beach. This will be our first condo vacation and I am looking forward to that too! Lots of room to spread out plus a kitchen!

Hi Ellen! I just found this TR via your CA trip and it is amazing! I'm only to about 1/2 through the trip and I just keep staring at the amazing scenery!

Hi Christine! Thanks for coming over and reading another one of my TRs- I have to say, THIS trip to Hawaii was our favorite- Kauai was so incredible that I cry daily that I am not there but just dreaming of it- I think it is my favorite place on earth. I must have lived there in another life, it just felt...

Kauai is the most beautiful place I have ever been. It is all lush and green. I am constantly trying to figure out how the 4 of us can go back at some point- I think a condo is the way. Very smart! You can save alot making your own sammies and breakfast and even grilling for dinner. We never got to Poipu Beach on this trip, but I know from friends who HAVE been, it is lovely. Next trip I will have to spend a few nights over there- there is a lot more happening than on the north shore- but the north shore has my soul, so I will have to stay there, too! UGH....the resort you are will be staying at looks fabulous!! Please come back and tell us how it was- ALOHA!!!!!!

Thanks for a great HI TR. While I am not staying at Aulani, I will be on Oahu for 3 nights in mid Feb. Just trying to figure out what to do our 2nd full day, I think heading to the turtle beach sounds like fun. But maybe a hike at Diamond Head. We then head to Big Island for 3 nights, then Maui for a week.
I just love all of your food porn pictures, your view from the room and your scuba experience posts. Even made me look up learning how to scuba dive prior to our trip. LOL, now that would be fun to do as winter approaches! Thank you for the very enjoyable read! While I sometimes miss an in progress TR, I do love to read it all in one weekend!

Hi Ellen. I know I'm a little late to this party - like 2 years - lol!! Just have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your report. Tyler ordering the meat pizza made me burst out laughing. Your premature posting made me smile for another reason that I can't post here. Your pictures were fabulous as usual!

We honeymooned on Kauai, and looking at your pictures brought back such wonderful memories. Our wedding was on the first day of the "Blizzard of '96." Remember that? January 6, 1996!! We were lucky to get a flight out at all with all the snow, which is why I think we had extra appreciation for the lushness of Kauai. Every morning, we would stop at Lapperts and get a coffee before setting out on our daily adventures. Loved the north shore and the deserted beaches. Ahhh . . . I want to go back. Kauai is a magical place. Thanks for sharing!!

HAHA- Better late than never! I am not sure I remember that blizzard, but I DO appreciate how incredibly magical Kauai is. My favorite place on earth. I need to figure out how to get back!! Thanks for reading, Jodie!
