Welcome to Kauai the Garden Island

                               

After leaving the Big Island we jetted over to Kauai. It takes 1 1/2 hours to get there from the BI. We flew from the southern most island in the archipelago to the northernmost island. When visiting Hawaii it is a must to see 2 islands! Everyone we met during our stay on the BI said we would love Kauai...we'll see!

Once we arrived at Lihue International Airport we headed over to Dollar to get our car. After much debate we decided that we would upgrade to the Jeep, if it was available, on this island. We ended up with a brand new red Jeep Wrangler, it was AWESOME!! Off to the resort we go. Driving from Lihue south towards the Koloa area to our resort, the Grand Hyatt Kauai. We drove through the tunnel of trees. Eucalyptus trees form a beautiful canopy over they highway covering the first section of road towards Po 'ipu. When we got to the resort we were greeted with some beautiful orchid and kukui nut leis. After we got all settled into our room we ate dinner at Tidepools restaurant.
