I got back last night from a 5-day trip to Kauai with my daughter Shannon. She invited me to join her just 2 days before we left last week. Kauai was the only Hawaiian island I hadn’t visited. She was able to find us good airfares and had points to pay for our hotel. We had a wonderful time seeing much of the island by car, horseback and swift boat. Here are a few pictures.

First sunrise

We had our own private trail ride around a very beautiful part of Kauai

Taro fields

Kilauea Point Lighthouse


Turtles come ashore to certain beaches at night. Sometimes numbering 80 or more.

We went on a boat ride, went snorkeling and saw beautiful scenery.

Saw lots of spinner dolphins, some with young ones still following their moms.


All good things must come to an end. Last morning and sunrise.

I so want to go back! Wonderful photos, Sandi! Love the turtles.

What a great spur of the moment trip. Glad you had such a good time.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I absolutely love everything, but especially the turtles.

I have never been to any of the Hawaiian islands, so I guess I really need to get busy and go. Beautiful pictures!!

Wow! What an awesome trip! Love the beautiful photos! I would love to go horseback riding there (or anywhere). The turtles are so cool!

Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful surprise trip! Horseback riding, snorkeling and beautiful scenery. I worry so much before a trip I'm sometimes to tired to go, being surprised would be perfect. So were you inspired to do some landscape painting?

I think I might have been BJ. There’s so much beauty there one can’t come away without being inspired in their own way. Anyone who hasn’t been to the Hawaiian Islands or it’s been too long since your last trip there: if you can, I highly recommend that you go for it. Life is too short.

That's the only state I haven't been to. I'm hoping it's in my cards yet!

Sandi, thanks so much for the beautiful post. A nice respite from a dreary world. ((Hugs))

Beautiful pictures. Makes me want to go back, was there years ago.

I spent my first wedding anniversary on the beautiful island of Kauai! So glad you got to go, great photos.
