Monday

Rob and I had breakfast at the same place this morning but we got downgraded on our view of the koi pond. Booo! After breakfast, Rob and I went to the gym. Rob did his normal workout and I did a fitness class. After the gym, Justin, I mean Tom, picked us up at the hotel to do more site seeing. This time Kathy and Michael decided to do their own thing. Below are some of the highlights from our day.

First stop was at the Wailmea Falls. It was neat because we were at the same level as the top of the falls.



Next we drove through the "Coco Palms" hotel where Rob's dad stayed when he was in his 20's. The movie Blue Hawaii with Elvis Presley was filmed at this hotel. The hotel is not running anymore and is in pretty bad shape. They are planning on demolishing it and putting in a park.




After visiting the hotel, we ate at Scotty's. Scotty's is an ocean front casual restaurant. The backside of the restaruant has garage doors so during business they are up so half the restaurant is outside and you can see the view of the ocean.






Next we made a stop at the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge where they had a lot of birds (Jen would have LOVED this place), a lighthouse and pretty views. Oh, and a great sign.








We stopped at a beach where they seem to not welcome guests with open arms. We stayed inside the car.




We made a last stop to see another waterfall.





Goodbye Kauai!

Rob's new red-footed boobies (or whatever) must have been the highlight of this day. So did you see Elvis? I think I may have seen him at the In-n-Out Burger today here in Long Beach. Unless he's in Hawaii. Fun trip! Love the pics.
