Every day is "Friday!" in Kauai



There's no place like Hanalei, Kauai for getting away from it all. Peter, Jaime, Lauren and I spent ten days celebrating Lauren and Peter's MBA graduation, new career opportunities for Jaime, and partying in anticipation of new jobs starting later in July. It was great to see the Montgomery and Parks familys, and generally get some R&R away from the busy world of work and school.

Fun things we did:
Yummy eats:
  • Duane's Ono Char Burger - a must for post-flight lunching, but don't be in a rush
  • Hukilau Lanai - our first night of vacation, after airport pick-ups
  • Duke's barefoot bar for a yummy lunch and drinks straight out of a pineapple
  • Tropical Taco and BYO beers for a casual lunch in Hanalei
  • Kauai Grill at the St. Regis - our fancy night out
  • Pau Hana Pizza in Kilauea - my favorite lunch of the trip; smoked Ono pizza...SO good
  • Waimea Brewing Company for an all-appetizer dinner, hoo-aah!
  • Olympic Cafe in Kapa'a - a full bar and a lunch of humungous proportions, everything a hiker could want
  • Kountry Kitchen in Kapa'a for top-tier, greasy spoon breakfast; our goodbye to paradise

The beginnings of an unofficial soundtrack:
Sung by the mixing spoon brigade, in a kitchen or Charger near you...
