February 8th - Kauai

Flew over to Kauai from Maui. Picked up a car and the sightseeing began.

Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. Each island has its' own
distinct personality and landscape.

Spent this day on the South Shore, driving West until running out of road.

No visit to Kauai is complete without a visit to Waimea Canyon State Park,
so that was the first and primary destination today. The falls and colors
here are breathtaking. The 3,000 foot deep gorge is ten miles long, a mile
wide and is known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific".

Stopped at Kekaha Beach to watch the powerful surf. The rip currents here
make it unsafe for swimming, but it has a great beach.

Stopped at The Spouting Horn - a dual lava tube that breathes air and makes
a booming sound through one tube, while the other shoots up a spray of
water.

Ended the day watching some Hawaiian dancers while having dinner in Poipu.
