Oh we're going to a Hukilau...

Aloha... wahine here!
Today was such a perfect day! We started out the day with Starbucks on the beach watching the sea turtles ride the waves in to catch some breakfast on the reefs. They are so entertaining to watch! I had been whining that Rocco got to dive with them and I hadn't even seen one yet from the beach so I was so excited to finally see them!

After breakfast, we headed out to the North Shore where we were going to go snorkeling at Tunnels Beach. Once we left the south side of the island and headed north, we ran into a HUGE tropical rain storm. We were of course cruising down the road in our jeep with the top down and by the time we pulled over and quickly put the top back up, we were SOAKED!!! For those who haven't witnessed the rain in Kauai, you know what I am talking about. It literally comes down in sheets! It was hilarious though, we were cracking up!!! Luckily all of our stuff was hidden under our beach chairs and we had towels to dry off with... Even though the rain falls are usually short lived (and of course its still in the 80's) we figured we would be safer heading back to where we know it is sunny and dry. We ended up back at Poipu Beach and I am glad we did because we had so much fun snorkeling! The fish were loving the fish food we bought, in fact one that kept following Rocco around eventually bit his finger, drawing blood even! Of course it was Rocco's fault because he thought it would be a good idea to hand feed them! It was worth the laugh though! Of course my main concern that Jaws was going to smell the blood from miles away and come eat us for lunch so I kept my eyes peeled!

After the time spent at the beach, we headed back to the condo and get ready for our Luau!!! We had been looking forward to going the whole trip. We had so much fun! The food was fab and the entertainment was awesome! Rocco splurged on our tickets and bought the "Golden Circle" seats which was WELL worth it! We sat right up front, had Mai Tai's coming faster than we could set them down, and had first dibs on the food! Then of course even had all the honeymooners up on stage and had us dance to the "Hawaiian Wedding Song." Good times! Luckily the guy at our table grabbed our camera and took some pictures of us.

After the Luau, we took a walk on the beach and then headed back to the condo for our last night on this beautiful island. :(

Here are some pics! Enjoy!
