My Team Going To Kauai Hawai And Discuss Your Experience How To Spend Time With Beautiful Scenes
what's up everybody before we jump into the details of this blog I want to say one thing creating blogs about places like this is always an internal battle for me on one hand I want to showcase how beautiful this world is and help you guys travel deeper while on the other hand by doing so I am inevitably adding to the tourist population of these destinations and I'm especially sensitive to this when talking about the Hawaiian Islands a place and people with such incredible history and pride and the primary reason why I decide to press on and click upload is with the hope that you guys are different out of all of the blog that you can read while planning your trip to Kauai or Hawaii as its properly known this blog will help form the narrative of what it should mean to travel here so if you take just one thing away from reading this beyond the trail maps and restaurant names let it be this respect show respect to the people who call this place home show respect to nature by taking out what you bring in and show respect to local culture and laws just because you're on vacation doesn't mean you're immune to being a decent human to me the Hawaiian Islands I like the hot girls in high school you want to get to know them you want to tell everybody about them but they would be just happy being left alone but if you're kind and respectful they may just give you a glimpse of their beauty they're proud and loyal to
their true friends because they've been burned before I want this blog to be a guide on how to talk to them and make a
good impression for us regular guys all right with all that being said let's dive into it this past December I took
my mother on a vacation to Hawaii she was freezing in upstate New York and we were a long overdue for a mother-son
adventure together it was her first time to Hawaii and my first time on the garden island now one thing to know
about my mother she's not normal her perfect vacation is a packed schedule of activities and excitement wonder where I got it from we didn't stay in a resort nor did we spend much time laying on a beach so if that's your thing this blog
won't be much help I planned a trip to maximize our 10 days on the island balling on a budget and it all started on the east side of kawaii in Kapaa we have made it to our little humble abode here in Kauai ballin on a budget Maui think oh we got a couple of beds surfboard we got the ocean right there first things first breakfast and there's no better place for that in town than at the Country Kitchen everything's good with the macadamia nut french toast with coconut syrup is on another level and from there it's straight to one of our most anticipated activities of the entire trip so who are here with blue Hawaiian helicopters just reading for our flight this is my first helicopter for her first helicopter flight my first
helicopter flight 90% excited 10% nervous what would you say I'm Li yeah five percent five percent most I'm just
getting ready they're getting geared up gassed up we're taking off over ten days we splurged on three excursions and this 50-minute helicopter ride over the island was definitely well worth stretching the budget for from the Waimea Canyon and Jurassic Falls to the unbelievable Napali Coast and pristine turquoise blue waters of Hanalei Bay the views up here are just insane checked off a massive bang on our bucket list how do you feel oh my gosh that was awesome that was just too cool for words I was very cool Thank You Blue Hawaiian appreciate it that was amazing good
morning from ke ala hele maka light-rail today renting some bikes our coconut coasters are Nivelle cruising let's go for a
little more low-key sightseeing we grab bikes back in Kapaa in total it's a nice and easy eight miles on a paved pathway
along the coconut coast we passed by plenty of surf spots safe swimming areas and even some old pineapple plantation era landmarks it's a good laid-back way to spend a few hours in between hikes and when hunger strikes my favorite lunch spot of the entire trip was this unsuspecting shop right in town called ponal market it was recommended to us by a local friend and they serve up some Hawaiian favorites like Lau Lau chicken long rice and of course polka we just found this little spot outside the porno market we've got the Hawaiian special plate we have bouquet we have Lau Lau rice and I believe in roaming which is like a salsa with salmon inside and also show you salmon po ke which looks and smells incredible so show you just means soy oh my gosh guys ridiculous let's try the traditional good tuna Wow
both is always incredible and as we're doing it mom's filming right now I'm gonna give mom a chance to try this but
first I got to get into the fork not allow allowed pork here I love this pork patty deliciousness the salmon and the tuna both really clean lightly seasoned that is so good hmm all right camera way mom you can you know good refueled afternoon activity options on the east side are virtually endless
we check out the wailua falls from above but decide not to track down the clothes trail to its base instead we hit the nearby 18-hole Waialua Golf Course with a few locals I'm out got a couple of on the field get out of here
hitting through look at this course on the ocean with the palm trees all around golf and town the next day we pile into the back of a covered utility truck to get another unique perspective of the islands history and today we are off into the backwoods of kawaii and we're going down tubing down the old ditches of the sugar plantations in the bamboo were with koa Eve backcountry adventures get in the details now grab it a to jump in the water let's go and in 1870 a series of ditches and tunnels were hand dug by Chinese laborers to deliver water from the rain forest down into the sugarcane fields near Lihue today most of Hawaii's sugar production has left for countries with more lucrative labor laws leaving this private property to become an eco-friendly lazy river but before things get too leisurely it's about time we climb a mountain alright next on the list of exploration is the sleeping giant trail just a short little hike up to the top so we can get a view of Kapaa it's a little bit muddy but we're used to that I'm weirded upward one important thing to note about hiking here in December is that it's inevitably muddy rain comes and goes quickly so you usually can just wait out the rain fall right on the trail it's legal but mom and I will trade mud for crowds any day and we cruise up at a quick clip to beat the sunset
