The Menehune Fish Pond was located not far from our hotel. The Menehune were 'little people' like fairies and like fairies it was said had magical powers.

Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands and thus the most weathered. The Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali Coast are good examples of the extreme weathering found.

View to left is Princeville, a modern community of golf courses, equestrian trails and the filthy rich.  Our stay on Kauai (pronounced cow-i-ee) will include a full blow Luau at the prestigious Plantation Hotel. 
They have teams of Clydesdales (big horses) pulling large carriages stocked full of people around a very large former colonial estate. All quite impressive, I hope the luau is as impressive.
Somethings that may sound funny may be good to eat. Pee Pee is a steak and Pu Pu is an appetizer platter. 

There is no public transportation on Kauai so a rental car is a must.
Be very careful of eating at what looks like a normal stateside 'fast food' restaurant. We found several using signs and menus such as Arby's and McDonalds, weren't. I don't know if they enforce infringement.

Of our three Aerial Tours the ride with Papillion Helicopters on our fifth day bore fruit. Clouds did obscure the summit and the polarized canopy of the cockpit had an effect on some shots, but most came out great. I was able to shoot 21 rolls of film in the 1 3/4 hour flight.
