Getting caught up. More Kauai and then Maui

We’ve either been very rushed every morning or being very lazy. So, let me catch you up.

Our Kauai hotel is making it very difficult to be us.
More around the hotel.
Hello Pacific. 🌊
We had registered for some local hula, ukulele and lei making lessons. There is no evidence of the hula lessons 😜
We used ti leaves and made a rope out of them for the leis.
We then added plumeria to our finished rope. It was really fun.
I have fully embraced the caftan life.
A little stroll around Kauai.
The Pacific never disappoints.
We relaxed in a hammock.
A friendly reminder of vacation mode.
End of the stroll.
We made a feline friend that used this tree as a scratching post and would also follow us to our room. We loved Kauai and will be back to explore more.
We landed in Maui and were told to eat at Monkey Pod for lunch while our room gets ready. These are their award winning Mai Tais. They were yummy.
The food was pretty great too.
So many wild chickens.
Went to a suggested spot to see turtles.
We found two! We also watched one of them slowly shimmy back into the ocean
We decided to do a Luau in Lahania.
Fine. A selfie.
The view was horrible here too.
I actually didn’t grab too many pictures. The show was too good and I couldn’t take my eyes off the dancers.
Sunsets are stupid.
So hypnotic!
Just so darn beautiful to watch.
The next morning was snorkeling in Maui!!!
Happy woman holding an urchin in her happy place.
This was a beginner’s class and our instructor kicked us out on a paddle board.
Mom was not quite ready for fins but she hung in there and saw the fishies!
Look at mom go!
Hello fun little sea creature.
Last-minute Target run and I guess I came all the way to Hawaii for a Salem, MA t-shirt.
Now, I will just share some of the flora from around our condo
A lizard 🐊 it would have this bright red flap of skin come out from its neck but didn’t want to show the camera.
Meow meow on Maui.

We’re now heading to the Big Island. Two nights in Kona and five in Hilo. Not too much planned but we are on volcano watch.
