Kilauea Point: Kaua'i northernmost point and home to thousand of seabirds. (right) An island specialty – Mai Tai cocktail. Yum!

Hanalei Valley on the North Shore not far from where we were staying. This is where the state's taro crop is grown.

Mmmm??? Are those chickens I see.

Well we’re back from beautiful Kaua’i and what an amazing place! I plan to post the highlights over the next 7 days that will reflect our 7 day visit.

Hawai’i isn’t just a beautiful place to lay down your beach towel it’s also an incredibly interesting place geographically and historically.

1. The Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated island chain in the world.
   
2. The center of Kaua’i is the rainiest spot on earth with an average of 440 inches of rain per year.
   
3. There are no snakes!
   
4. Kaua’i consists of 553 sq miles of beach, rain forest, desert, mountains and plains.
   
5. Kaua’i is the oldest island of the Hawaiian chain.
