We saw everything on the top half of our list, and we're running out of time. Instead of rushing to see everything else, we just decided to relax and enjoy the rest of the time we have left on the island. Afterall, if we see everything this time around, then it won't give me much reason to come back, soon, right?
Hands down, my favorite photo from the trip. Our last night in Kauai, and this is the last shot I took of this magical place. With all its imperfections, it couldn't be any more perfect. This picture, and Kauai itself.
Day 4, 5 and 6 was like this:
Day 4
- Breakfast at Poipu Tropical Burgers - won't be going back
- Decided, for day 4, we'll stay local. Stay on Poipu beach, spend time at the pool
- Spouting Horn
- Bought the kid's 2011 ornament
- Poipu Beach - the kid LOVED it
- Ate Puka Dog for lunch
- Pool at the hotel
- Farmer's market - bought more fruit!
- Dinner at Merriman's - the husband liked it, I didn't
- Husband picked a banana from a tree for the kid
Day 5
- Breakfast at our room balcony - mango, caimito, papaya, pomelo, and star fruit, before we hit the road for some coffee and breakfast sandwiches
- Banana Joes - STRIKE 1. No ripe papaya means no smoothies.
- Guava Plantation - STRIKE 2 and replaced with a cafe. How sad is that?
- Beach by St. Regis in Princeville - STRIKE 3. No parking available.
- Anini beach - a great consolation for all those disappointment
- More bird chasing
- Dinner at Oasis. Best meal so far.
- Awesome sunset
- Finally, pointing out a sugar cane plant, still in the ground, to the husband and resisted every urge to just start hacking at the plant so he can have a taste of what its like fresh versus sitting in the refrigerator for days.
Day 6
- Last day...
- Breakfast at Kalaheo Cafe & Coffee company. We decided it was the best breakfast place we've been to on the island. No fuss.
- Back to Poipu beach and the pool where I discovered that my kid has no fear and complete trust on me and her dad, and wished I was the same...
- More Puka dogs
- More Papalani gelato. No, they still didn't have the sour cream flavor, and I was ok with that
- Drive to the airport for our flight out
- And, that was that.
I want to go back...

The story of the sour cream gelato., originally uploaded by gealouxy.
She kept on wanting to swim away even though the water was way over her head. There were a few times when she jumped from the edge of the pool, she went under, and when her dad pulled her out, she screamed, "Again, Daddy, again!".
I just hope that her daddy will always be there to catch her when she falls, or pull her up when she's down.
