Kauai Getaway: Trip Planning

A few months ago, there was a great deal for flights to Hawaii.  So after getting Dan's buy in, I booked our first trip to the island of Kauai for November.  We have previously been to Maui and Oahu, so this would mark off Hawaiian island number 3.  :)

We heard from friends that Kauai was very beautiful, scenic, and much more relaxing and quiet compared to Maui or Oahu.  And it had been a solid 3 months since our last trip on a plane.  It seemed like forever (but not really).  So we were really excited to check it out, get some R&R, and just soak it all in.

We wanted to explore the full island, so we split our stay--2 nights at the Sheraton in the South and 2 nights at the St. Regis in the North.

For this trip, we actually didn't plan much--our plan was to relax and enjoy the beautiful island.

Beautiful Hanalei Bay

Here's how we'll break down our 5 day, 4 night trip:

    1. We're slowly writing the reports :) Yup, will definitely include our food reports, although I would have to say both my husband and I were a bit disappointed with the food scene in Kauai :p
