Woah, I am really behind on our posts! Lots of things have happened since the wedding. After we got back from the wedding our friend Greg asked us if we wanted to do a weekend trip.Unfortunately he said we could not go to Fiji. Greg and Steve have known each-other since college and have been good friends since. He recently go his fixed-wing pilot license. He was nice enough to let me pick the island that we would go to. I was quite nervous because we flew in a Cessna a small 4 passenger plane. It was quite nice to not have to go through the usual hassles of flying. No travel size items needed. We flew over the island and got amazing views!
The following morning we visited the Waimea Canyon. It is the biggest canyon in the Pacific. It had breathtaking views! We also had the most amazing dinner at the hukilau lanai. It was seriously the best prime-rib, and Caesar salad ever. We all rated it among the top 3 meals of our lives. We were too busy eating to document any of the delicious food.
That afternoon we headed to the south shore of Kauai. A great resort town called Poipu. We are still having a dilemma on how to properly pronounce that name. We went to a really nice beach and had a puka dog. If you follow the food network you will know what I mean by a puka dog :).
Near Kauai there is a small island called Niihau. Niihau is known as the forbidden island. It only has about 130 inhabitants, primarily of Hawaiian descent. We never thought we would get the opportunity to see it. It was such an amazing experience. Greg was nice enough to take time to fly us over it after I said how much I wished I could see it.
The weekend was truly amazing. We highly recommend Kauai to anyone. It is so lush. People were so sweet and the food was amazing. We cannot wait to return to Kauai.
Until next time!
xoxo,
Ingrid
