Honeymoon in Kauai - March 1-8








hiking to Waimea canyon falls




souting horn & poipu beach


snorkeling w/ underwater camera at Ke'e beach






Polihale state beach



helicopter eco tour in east of entire island




caves in north near Ke'e beach & Tunnels snorkeling beach

hiking in Waimea canyon in southeast interior


Luau botanical gardens

botanical garden at Smith's Luau

We had a great time in Kauai. CT is "Mr. Travel Planner", so we saw just about EVERY inch of the island. We started off in the south, then went west, then east, then north. I think the helicopter eco tour & Luau in the east were the highlights for us.
The north was very lush, the south was more humid, but beautiful. Best food was grassfed beef hamburger at Camphouse grill in Koloa (south) and grilled Mahi Mahi at the Luau.
Also tried Poi & roasted pig. They were ok. Poi is ok if w/ the salmon chutney, and pork was salty. Mai Tai's were good. Sneak up on you. The Luau had a huge Botanical garden & GREAT show after dinner w/ dancers & fire. Got our $$ worth.

All of these were $1-2 per yard. Love a deal.

Misc. fabric she gave me at 75 cents a yard. maybe a sweater-coat?
fushia/wht bucle

I haven't bought any fabric for awhile, so I think I was due. Although my fabric stash is quite big. But, I've been chipping away at the stash making stuff from my favorite new pattern magazine Burda World of Fashion (BWOF).

BWOF Top in red


tried it in a fuzzy red knit fabric. Pleats on collar are a bit different & make a big difference.
