Island Hopping ✈️ HNL 🔜 LIH - Kauai, Hawaii 🏖️

After arriving in HNL from my redeye flight from PPG (Pago Pago, American Samoa)…I quickly hopped on a commuter flight with Hawaiian Airlines over to LIH, Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii.

Next I was spending 3.5 days on the beautiful island of Kauai.

First, I stopped off for some much needed breakfast at the Tip Top Motel Cafe, a restaurant/diner recommended to me by my mom’s friend.
I got a Denver Omelette which was ham, onions and green peppers. The total was just under $23 including tax and tip.

After fueling up, I looked around for some little nicknack souvenirs like keychains, magnets and postcards as memories of Kauai. This was difficult as I couldn’t find many souvenir stores that catered to these types of items.
And while at Island Treats and Gift Shop, I got
Myself a bubblegum shaved ice for $10. It was okay, but reflecting back it needed much more syrup to make it more flavorful.

I checked out ABC Stores next to Island Treats and unfortunately found nothing there.
Lastly, I tried Gift of Kauai and bought 4 postcards for $5. I guess I’ll take what I could get.

Had to make a stop at Walmart because I had nowhere to sleep! Yes it’s true, lol. Since lodging was so expensive in Kauai, (and btw, they didn’t even offer hostels), I decided to camp out on the island. And so Walmart was ideal for buying a 1 person tent for $33, 2 pillows for $10 and a blanket for $16. That’s a great deal for sleeping outdoors underneath the stars.
Best and most important of all was one of the campgrounds had showers available.
Lol, so Walmart turned out to be a success.
Continuing on…

I needed to stop at the Kauai Visitors Bureau to ask some last minute questions about the sights and attractions I was exploring. The lady inside was helpful and got me on the right track for what I wanted to accomplish while here.

Finally, it was onto some sightseeing. First up was Wailua Falls, a quick roadside stop to witness two side by side cascading waterfalls. It was okay for 15 minutes and then it was time to move on to the next activity, which was hiking…

Located about 15 miles outside downtown Lihue, I spent the last portion of my first day in Kauai on Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail that offered some terrific glances of the island’s coastline. The surroundings were colorful with tones of orange and green and really got me into the Hawaiian spirit.

And that’s all from my day traveling from Honolulu to Kauai and the days activities. I spent a few more days in Kauai which I did Vlog about and will come out in future dates.

Thanks for coming along in this one. Appreciate ya’ll
