While we were on Kauai, we took a day trip to Hanalei. Along the way, we stopped and spent time at Anini Beach. But, before heading down to the beach, we walked Anini Beach Road. There’s very little traffic on Anini Beach Road once you get past the county park. Also, the further you go, the fewer […]

One of the last things we did on Kauai was visit Ahukini Landing. Typically, Ahukini Landing is glossed over in the guidebooks. And, even though it’s only a couple of miles from our condo, an old fishing pier that had been removed never quite seemed interesting enough to warrant a visit. At least, not until we were talking to […]

These photos were taken by Hawaii writer Laurie Hanan. We begin with a few rodeo shots, then move on to polo, which turns out to be big in Hawaii. As you would most likely guess, horses aren’t native to the islands. They were first brought there in 1803 when a mare and her foal were […]

One of the things I love about featuring photos from others is that I get to see parts of Hawaii I’ve never seen before. This week, Kay Hadashi returns with a trip to parts of Hawaii Volcanos National Park she took while researching “Orchids and Ice.” When you get to the photo of the steam […]

When is it okay to lie? That’s a question writer Laurie Hanan has contemplated since she was a child. For this interview, the author of the Louise Golden mystery series talked…

This week’s Friday Fotos are going to cover a lot of ground on Kauai and we’ll wind up at “Ambrose’s”, which is a tiny store in Kapa’a that seems to never be open. We’ve been going to Kauai for about twenty-five years and the store has been there for as long as I can remember. […]

On Kauai, there are plenty of rocky shores. This week, we’re taking a look at those down in the Poipu areas. In fact, we’ve even got Spouting Horn spouting. Do you know the legend about why there’s a rhythmic moaning at Spouting Horn? It seems a little Hawaiian boy named Liko was chased into the […]

When Hurricane Iniki struck in 1992, thousands of chickens around the island of Kauai were inadvertently released from their cages. Birds that had once been a source of food suddenly became a source of aggravation. Over the years their numbers have grown and chickens now, in a sense, rule the roost on Kauai. Fortunately, there are also […]

What a ride! As you’re climbing up the mountain to Skyline Queenstown, there are times when it looks like you’re heading straight into the side of the mountain. Those of us with our backs to the mountain were treated to a gorgeous view of the lake and valley, but the ones facing the mountain had […]
