During the last week of October, we spent a relaxing vacation in beautiful Kauai. It is such a beautiful island that is less commercialized than the other Hawaiian islands, which really appealed to us. Back in February, we attended a charity event and Mike won the grand prize that evening, which was a week-stay at the Marriott Kauai property (talk about luck!). Flights to Hawaii aren't as expensive from California given they're just 5 hours away, so it was great planning a vacation not having to pay for the hotel and with few other expenses!
We spent seven days in Kauai, five of which we literally laid on the beach ALL day enjoying the sunshine, ocean breeze, crystal-blue water, palm trees swaying overhead, and reading many books. We rented a car and spent one day touring the north side of the island, and spent the following day taking in the sights of the other side of the island via catamaran. Below are a few pictures we took of our travels. Oh, how we love you Hawaii!
