After my two weeks assisting the HNL transition, it was off to Lihue, Kaua'i.
What a difference! HNL was busy and kind of hectic, whereas LIH was laid back and kinda easygoing. I haven't been back to Kaua'i since I was a young kid. I remember it was the first place that I could see my breath. This time I was a tourist. I went to the "mall", Kukui Grove. I drove the winding road up to Waimea Canyon, saw the sunset by the Spouting Horn, along with other touristy sights. Ate local food at Hamura Saimin and Macadamia Nut pancakes with Coconut syrup at Tip Top Cafe. And chickens, chickens, and more chickens everywhere you go.
