Breakfast in the room
A rainy morning
7:25 am pick up at our front desk to Lihue and Sunshine Helicopters
Had ABC coffee with the other 4 passengers. One couple (Alyssa and Jason) were honeymooners who just had their wedding in Connecticut (with over 2 feet of snow, road closures and power outages). Luckily for them their wedding reception venue had backup generators. Too funny. They were fun.
Our 8:30 am tour was cancelled due to cloud and rain all over the island. SADNESS!
We rebooked the 1:30 pm tour (crossing our fingers that the rain would stop). The honeymooners re-booked for 1:30 pm as well (and we found out later they "whipped" up to the North Coast and back. They had limited time on Kauai. They were off to Maui on Saturday.
We browsed around the Lihue shops.
Investigated the Golden Princess Cruise ship that had just landed (town was about to get really busy)
We walked the supposed 15 minute journey to "The Mall". 30 minutes later (with a few rain drops included for free) we got to K-mart. Shopped around there for quite a bit (we had dry time to kill).
Caught the free K-Mart shuttle back to "our" cruise ship.
Checked in with Sunshine Helicopters and they had cancelled the 11:30 am flight. Still hoping the 1:30 pm tour was a go.
Checked out the Kalapaki Beach (In nice dry sunny weather)
Had lunch at Duke's Barefoot Bar (Still sunny!)
Shopped (while it poured). Tom gets an Aloha Shirt and Sharon gets a sun dress
Returned to Sunshine Helicopters (in sunny, dry weather). The Helicopter ride is a go!
AMAZING, SPECTACULAR trip over the island. Mountains, Beaches, Waterfalls, Canyons, Craters, Rainbows. WOW, WOW, WOW.
They shuttled us back to our lodging.
Caught the tail end of a free hula show at The Coconut Marketplace just across from our lodging.
Dinner at the Kauai Coast Resort (the Hukilau Lanai Restaurant)
Prime Rib YUM Wally's Salad YUM
