Wow, really enjoying! Great job so far Benjie. Incredible story with your hike, too funny and scary! Love the text screenshot. Glad you made it back safely. Wish I had known that Poi'pu has seals at specific times, good tip.

I'd love to take the hike from that direction just to see and photograph that area.

Yep. Nothing better then mingling with the locals to find out about daily unpublished activities and sights.

Fantastic TR, makes me wanna go back to Kauai all over again, no matter how many times I've been there

Couldn't agree more. Although I'm partial to TBI, Kauai is a close second!

Am I a terrible human being if I burst out laughing when I saw this ;D?

Great TR and great pictures, looking forward to the rest.

Sorry, me too  ;D

Awesome pictures and really enjoying this TR!

Great TR so far! Having never been to Hawaii yet, reading all these TR's just makes me so antsy, I have to start planning a trip already.

Stop hanging out so much on DDF and get yourself over there.  :P

Oh please. That's nothing compared to my younger years when me and my friend were meeting up in San Juan for a little mini-vacation. I was in Costa Rica. He was in Puerto Rico. #Fail

Point proven.

Wow, just found this TR! Looks like you had a great time so far. It's our next HI destination after having been to Maui and TBI recently. Looking forward to the rest.

Indeed. I should take a page out of your book and let my wife relax at the pool all day while I go hiking.

I know my wife would be fine with that. I can't stand hanging out by the pool and she hates hiking.

Worked best for us considering that I really wanted to do some hiking and adventurous activities while she didn't and this was a compromise we both highly enjoyed.

Why not? Whats the issue in splitting a half day among one another doing different things?
