The first photo is on the balcony of our condo. It was perfectly secluded, yet near the beach. We loved it! This little bay of beach was where Gilligan's Island was filmed. Ever heard of that sitcom? Well, it was popular when Dad and I were kids. And I never dreamed we would actually stay on that very bay/and island!
The second photo is the beach that is VERY FAMOUS! This is where Nicole was captured by the sleeper wave. Looks peaceful, huh? Guess she was there in the winter when the waves were just unpredictable. We laid a lei in memory of her survival!
The last two photos were of a hike that we took that is unaccessible by car....you drive to a certain point on the island and the road stops. Then to continue it must be on foot. We were determined to make it to the beach....so we practically RAN to make it before the sunset. Getting caught on the mountain in the dark would have been a fatal mistake. We just barely made it out in time. Dad was hauling. I kept thinking, "doesn't he know he is 57 years old?" I was barely keeping up with him!

Noel is like that too. I always think I'm in better shape than him except when we really need to get going (like in the airport when we barely have enough time to make a connection). Then I can barely keep up!
It's true that it's amazing Colie survived that sleeper wave. When she's a grandma telling her grandkids that story I bet they won't believe her.
Kuaui is BEAUTIFUL! That is at the top of my list of places I need to go.
