 4/28/2009 - Kauai, Hawaii - The final days on Kauai included breakfasts on the lanai, sunrise on the beach, and hanging by the huge pool at Waipoli Beach Spa and Resort. Fun in the sun sliding on the waterslides, relaxing in the lazy river and chilling out in the resort hot tubs. The resort also hosted a new visitor another Hawaiian monk seal who decided to hangout at the beach right in front of the resort, apparently one of the largest ones spotted in some time. We did some shopping at the Coconut Marketplace and also had lunch at our favorite little fastfood spot TC's Island Grill. We then did some more exploration of Kauai starting in the east going to Wailua Falls which was impressive with a rainbow at the base of the falls. We then headed back southwest to Waimea driving up to Waimea Canyon Lookout. The return trip was definitely worth it as Waimea Canyon offered fantastic views. On the way down from the canyon we stopped and had some nice views of the island of Ni'ihau. We then drove as far west as the regular road would take us then headed back to the east side stopping at some unexplored beaches with Lydgate Beach being the nicest. Finally off to the Lihue Airport to catch the long flight back to the mainland from Kauai to Los Angeles to Chicago and finally back to Rochester. Another sad Aloha to Hawaii til next time. Part 1
