Kauai

Me and M.G. in Kauai
Kauai is ridiculous. This island is straight out of Lost and Jurassic Park. Anyone who is planning on going should immediately book a room at the Grand Hyatt. We spent every day exploring the salt water lagoons, the warm pools that twist around the tropical grounds & the grand entrance that looks right out to the ocean. We never wanted to leave the resort but if you do leave, book a cruise down the Na Pali Coast with Blue Dolphin (free food and drinks the entire time) and the crew makes stops for snorkeling under the mountains and to see the hundreds of dolphins that swarm the boat. And did I mention free Mai Tai drinks? M.G. boarded with sea turtles and I watched a monk seal come to the beach by our room to sun for the whole afternoon.
