Kauai: Part 1 of 2.
Less grass skirts, more hula dancing.

Having a timeshare in exotic parts of the world has its perks. One, you would never need to deal with sleeping in a forest and turning into a bear's lunch. Two, the locals will not hold you ransom for 500,000 in Monopoly money. And lastly, there's nothing like fresh towels every morning to take home (you're a liar if you've never sneaked one into your suitcase!).

This year, my family and I decided to take a vacation to Kauai, Hawaii. This being my second time there, but first with my family. It's been years since we've taken one as a whole--between work, living in different parts of the country, and Occupying ALL the Wall Streets--so this was a vacation I couldn't miss.

I was expecting to be lei'd as soon as I stepped off, but I can't complain.

Spending half a day in an airplane, this was the first real meal of assorted poke.

Chickens run wild here, much like pigeons of urban dwellings.

Kauai is known for being one of the--if not--wettest place on Earth. I thought your mother was, but guess not.

I found my echo here.

One of many beaches.

A little private beach action never hurt anyone. Except when you get sunburned.

Results of said sunburn.

Hiking up and across many trails. Walking barefoot is not recommended.

A dip in the clear waters. Thankfully nobody could tell if I was peeing or not.

A three hour hike later, we arrive at the Mother Nature taking a piss.

Stick a stamp on this and send it away!

Strategically placed branches make for great photo props.

Flower power!

I'm going bannaners!

Reaching higher elevation.

So many deaths, so little time.

Snapped this photo mere seconds before I slipped and rode my butt the whole way down to where my brother is. Weee!

Fresh from the Fish Market. Prepared daily, they call this "Laulau." Am I a cannibal for eating this?!

Have you been to Hawaii?

No haven't been there, these pics make me jealous. I hope one day to make it there. :)

I was in Hawaii, but not this island. Is Kauai worthy of my travels?

@fLiPgUy31O - SLOWLY ROLLING OUT THE POSTS! (roll out!)
@Thatslifekid - It's not that expensive. Though the flight will make your butt numb!
@Roadlesstaken - It is, if you like the outdoors. Video coming tomorrow will answer all your questions!

@CaKaLusa - 1.I've been to Australia and New Zealand.... THAT flight will make your butt numb. At this point I'd rather apply those $$$ to my student loans.

Nice pics... after a 3 hour hike, I would have just planted myself at the bottom of the waterfalls.

The picture of the lighthouse is really pretty.

Wow those pics are gorgeous I have always wanted to go to hawaii maybe in a year or two I can go. I want to go to a place like this, one that's not huge city but full of nature and small beaches, has some tourists but not a lot, not like huge hotels and stuff but small local places... this looks like the ideal place to go. Thanks for sharing the pics!
