Day 17: R & R, Hanalei Bay

Day 17: R & R, Hanalei Bay

We spent this day not doing much of anything but relaxing. We did do laundry and some packing to prepare to come home.

One place we did want to get to before leaving though was Hanalei Bay. This is an incredibly beautiful bay that is completely ringed by a beach. We decided to get an early dinner in Hanalei and then hit the beach and settle in to watch the sunset.

After picking up a cream puff at Polynesia Cafe, we drove to the far right of the bay to watch the sunset over the north shore. This area had tons of people camping, which got us thinking that we should come back and CAMP in Kauai next time to save even more money! Haha!


Lots of people keep boats moored in the bay, and they hop on surf boards and paddle out to their boats. This cute little doggie hopped right on the surf board with the woman, and off they went.

Bill also later talked to a guy who told him that there was a big spear fishing tournament coming up that is held in Hanalei Bay. And the guy knew Ray, too, not personally, but because of his spear fishing guns. I guess even in Kauai, they want Ray's spear guns!

So ends the journaling of our vacation. We saw so much and did so much and had an amazing time that I am sure we will never forget, especially since we have this handy journal to help remind us.....

Oh yes, one p.s. We had one more dinner at Roy's in Poipu before flying out. Can't forget Roy's! This time we split the chocolate souffle - a much more sane approach to dining! My opah dish was terrific, as was Bill's food. And then, pleasantly stuffed, it was off to the airport for our very horrible and heinously nightmarish flights home.
