We were lucky enough to go to Hawaii recently for 9 days!! The island of Kauaui was the perfect paradise. It was so lush and green in some areas, like a tropical rain forest and so sandy and blue at the beach. It was the best of everything. We went with two other couples, our best friends, Cam and Michelle and Brandon and Cassie. Brandon and Cassie have been there several times and we were so fortunate that we didn't have to search around for anything since they guided us around to the best spots....THANKS BRANDON AND CASSIE! We also had the opportunity to stay in a beautifully decorated house just steps from the beach....yeah, I could hear the waves from my bedroom. It was so relaxing, snorkeling, boat rides, laying out, swimming and jumping off waterfalls...and the food, mmmmmmmm. It was an overall tropical paradise experience.
