Our second day here. I like it - the ocean, the uncrowded beaches. (Locals say there are much less tourists due to the economy.)
The weather is absolutely perfect!
It is pretty nice to be able to go when others can't. Plus, I didn't refinance anything to do it.
Financially, it is not a cheap trip.
And not because of airfare (cheap) or food (close to NY prices, so I am not as shocked by it as others.
The most expensive part of our trip is active sports.
We are taking a surfing lesson tomorrow morning, than going for a 3 hour private horse ride in the afternoon (the one where you gallop and canter, not the one where you walk nose to tail with a bunch of people - I can't stand that).
Wed, Thur, Fri - scuba diving.
Don't know what we'll do Sat. and Sun. yet, but I'm sure it will be something. So for 2 people it adds up to more than hotel costs.
But if I just wanted to lay next to the beach in a nice hotel, I could have found one much closer than Hawaii.
Taking advantage of what the island has to offer is important.
Aloha from Kauai!

Just stay out of the shops and you'll be fine.
