Last couple days in Kauai

Well I finally was able to go kayaking for a couple hours, the next to the last day in Kauai! It was in the bay area where we were staying.

Our last day on the island was Fri 6/10/06. We relaxed at the Marriott Beach Club in Lihue where we were staying. It's situated in this secluded bay that reminded us of the resort we stayed at in St. Lucia on our honeymoon. We hung out at the beach which was nice, but it was very hot. Then we swam in the pool which is the largest area pool in Hawaii. It's tremendous; there are 5 large gazebos covering the 5 jacuzzis!

We then walked around the grounds for a bit. They have beautiful gardens in the open air interior area, interspersed with pavillions covering large Japanese art work and statues. There are some posh shopping stores as well. In the morning, they feed the Koi located in the interior Japanese ponds. There are Ne-Ne and other geese and ducks lounging nearby!

At night, we attended the Luau at the Smith Tropical Paradise in Wailua. We didn't attend the dinner part of it, but saw the performance in the ampitheatre. It was a nice show, with dancers representing Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand (Maori), Philippines, Japan and China. There was also a Samoan fire dancer.

All in all a nice stay on the Garden Isle. We hope to return soon.
