2003 - Kauai trip 2, Dad's first Kauai visit: Kalalau Trail; resort scuba dive; South Pacific Dinner Show; Waimea Canyon
In
2001 we took our 1st trip to Kauai and fell in love with the little
island. Since we owned an every other year week in Pahio Kauai Beach
Villas there, in 2002 we went to The Big Island. With 2 trips to Oahu, 1
to Kauai, and 1 to The Big Island since 1999, we were anxious to get
back to Kauai in 2003. But this time we knew 1 week wasn't going to be
long enough. So I rented another week in our resort complex and we went
back for our 2nd Kauai vacation for 2 wonderful weeks.
My Dad even joined us for one of those weeks. He even went to the "owners' update" with us. Of course it's a sales presentation, but with a reward of BOGOF activities and such, we usually don't mind going to them. This time, Dad even volunteered to buy a resale week in a 2 bed/2 bath EOY unit in our name if we'd let him tag along with us. We couldn't pass up that offer, so now we had 1 week every year---2 bedroom in even years and 1 bedroom in odd years. Thus our ownership in Pahio started to grow!
Now on to my blog of our vacation:

Now on to my blog of our vacation:
3-9-2003 A day on the South shore---
3-10-2003 north to Kilauea and beyond---
3-11-2003 more north shore---
3-12-2003 Kalalau hike and Kee snorkel---
3-13-2003 Tunnels---
3-14-2003 East side---
3-15-2003 Spouting Horn sunset goodbye---
We used one of our rewards from the owners' update to go to the South Pacific dinner show that was held at Kauai Beach Resort (the hotel sharing the grounds with Kauai Beach Villas). I was rather disappointed in the audio. It wasn't as clear as I would have liked it to be. But it was a popular show and ran for many many years. But I did enjoy the italian themed buffet dinner that came with the show.
Thus ended our 4th trip to Hawaii and our 2nd trip to Kauai. We're hooked!
