Brandon's Hawaii Report

Day 1 (April 19)

We arrived at Honolulu 11:45 Hawaiian time, waited 4 hours, then finally arrived in Kauai. We took the shuttle bus to car rental on way to Outrigger Hotel, Lae Nani We saw lots of palm trees, coconut trees, and wild chickens with lots of chicks and roosters everywhere.

We went to the Coconut Market Place and had dinner at TC's Grill. I had a New York steak with fries. After all that traveling, I was really tired and went right to sleep!

I learned that in Hawaii, to some people, the wild chickens are pests, but no one has the heart or will to kill them, so they run free! At the crack of dawn, they make a lot of noise, cocka doodle dooing!

Day 2 (April 20)

After breakfast, we went swimming at the back of the hotel. First, we went to the enclosed, lava rock pool and we saw tonnes of tropical fish. I think I saw a type of butterfly fish. After, we went to the ocean part and went "current racing". We went to the wave area where the current came across the beach and swept you along by your bottom.

I learned that you can get easily sunburned because Abegail and Dad, got sunburned! So try to take a break and put on plenty of sun screen, at least, every two hours.

Day 3 (April 21)

Today, we went sight seeing to the Waimea Canyon. It was spectacular! I saw red dirt, the kind they used to stain clothing, called the "Red Dirt" Shirt. I have a hat stained by red dirt, if you are not convinced. I also have a picture of me in a big big big Aloha shirt ... I mean really big!!!

I learned that you have to spend your money wisely because you can run out of money fast! So make sure you take your time and shop very carefully and look for the best deals. Since you are on Vacation, you should take your time.


So that's it for now ... Aloha!
