All things Hawaii

MY Fantasy Island… Kauai, Hawaii

The view from the hotel parking lot. I could definitely wake up to this everyday.

Posting pics of Hawaiian food the other day stirred up memories of my trip to Hawaii. I remember talking to different people in Hawaii as I began reserving this and that. One woman told me that I was a lemurian. I had no idea what that was but, after she told me, I wanted to reach through the phone and hug her. So here are my pics of Hawaii … just incase someone is thinking about going. 😉

Great Mexican Restaurant in Kauai 😄 I had the BEST shrimp cocktail here that I’ve ever tasted and the staff was great!
Our view from the Mexican restaurant. Now tell me, can you get a view like this anywhere else in the U.S.?
The mini mall near the Ashton where they have AWESOME shaved ice!
The gigantic shaved ice at the mini mall near the hotel. I told you!
