SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14th

KAUAI
Our flight over the Island

KOLOA AND PO'IPU
We had time before registering into the hotel so we took a ride out to the south east end of Kauai. Jay used to work and live in this area.

Tree Tunnel/eucalyptus or swamp mahogany trees

We drove towards Koloa and Po'ipu when we drove through this isle of trees. This was at the end so the beautiful vines entwined with the trees doesn't show up in this picture, it was very impressive.

The Hyatt is where Jay worked for three years.

THE CHICKENS & ROOSTERS

Mama Hen and her chicks

An Islander told us that when Hurricane Iniki came through it released all the domestic chickens and they could not round them back up. The Island is now over run by chickens and roosters. They are protected by the government so if a person wanted to make dinner out of one of these little creatures they would have to be on this persons property before they could give it the ax.

THE LOBBY

John had already gone to the Lobby once before when we first arrived on the Island so when he took me through a side door (it did say Lobby on the door) and down a hallway to the Lobby, I was a little surprised and unimpressed with the entrance, we also got some funny looks from the employees. As I turned around I realized that we had gone through some kind of service door. If he would have gone a little farther he would have come to the steps leading down to a gorgeous Lobby. But his excuse was his back, he still was leaning 90 degrees forward and could only see the floor, as he was trying to find the Lobby he was told to take the first left after the escalators so he took the first door to the left that he could find.

We were on the fourth floor, there were floors below our garden balcony.The hotels own bay with a beach

The hotels weather station

The swimming pool was in front of the bay. Those four column areas were the hot tubs. The pool had an island in the middle of it.

We had fun exploring part of Kauai and getting set up in our beautiful hotel rooms. We each had our own bathroom........that's what I call luxury!
