Kauai is amazing. Now, while I am all for adventure, there is something to said for just a good old vacation. The island is beautiful, people are friendly, there’s plenty to do. It looks like Snookie and Lynn may be coming back as soon as January. I’d note that as a positive review. Yesterday, we got up early to have time to drive to the North Shore and still be back for the Zip-line we had arranged. There was a little gnashing of teeth about why we had to be up so early, but in the end we got on our way. The North Shore of Kauai is where all the exterior scenes for the first two seasons of Lost were filmed. It’s also where Hanalei from “Puff the Magic Dragon” is located. Also the home of narrow two-lane roads and one-lane bridges. Have to say that I did experience a little “Ruin Fatigue” You know, once you’ve seen 10 incredible sets of ruins, they begin to seem, well, tedious. Apparently happens with beaches too.
The zip-line was great as I’m sure Kelley will tell you. We’ve got a Helicopter ride to day and are going to an Art-walk tonight.
Oh, we also hit Ono-char Burgers (just between us it was the point of our North Shore trip) that everyone says are the best burgers on the island. That doesn’t bode well for the other burgers on the island. They were “okay.” Although I did enjoy the sign that said, “Yes, Ono means fish, but it also means good. These burgers are beef, not fish! No Refunds.” Apparently everything in Hawaiian means multiple things.
