PCWalton1 Posted May 9, 2017 Author #251 Share Posted May 9, 2017 trying to finish as wifi didn't cooperate last night. We headed to a beach just north of Kapaa. There was a rain cloud hanging out there but that didn't stop us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted May 9, 2017 Author #252 Share Posted May 9, 2017 After this we headed up by the Kilauea Lighthouse where there is a bird sanctuary. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetrail Posted May 9, 2017 #253 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Beautifully carved sliding doors mark the entrance into the State Dining Room. The room features a crimson theme with floor-to-ceiling windows, koa wood furnishings, elegant Bohemian crystal and Paris porcelain, and a massive floral carpet.

PCWalton1 Posted May 9, 2017 Author #255 Share Posted May 9, 2017 This is where we stopped for lunch. we had some Philippine style pork adobo. Pretty good but Marie makes better, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted May 9, 2017 Author #256 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It;s amazing how many waterfalls there are on this island. Probably has to due with the over 100 inches of rain they get here on the north shore, There is a valley here that gets more than 400 inches each year, We traveled to another beach along the north shore.

PCWalton1 Posted May 9, 2017 Author #258 Share Posted May 9, 2017 We made a quick stop near a taro field which usually make for a good photo shot. We made one last stop back near Kapaa before ending. We had a great time and our guide Matt was entertaining and informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a question that someone may know here......Have heard there is NO casino when cruising the islands? Soooo on your entire cruise how many nights are you able to gamble???/.....K.O.:confused: Every night the ship is not in port on RCI. They sail outside the 3-mile limit, and the casinos are open. So this is a 12-night cruise with 2 overnights = 10 nights open casinos. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji33] Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk On Serenade and Radiance pre-Voom we used to take our laptop to the atrium to post pictures to FB. It was the only spot that we had a strong enough connection. We would have a drink, upload pics and listen to the piano player. Now that they have Voom ;) you might want to try the same approach. Looking forward to the rest of your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy_trees Posted May 9, 2017 #269 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Sorry to hear Radiance's voom is still a PITA. It was bad last year in Alaska, was really hoping they'd got the kinks out this year. Weird thing was, while most of us had trouble, some people could FaceTime from their phones and iPads just fine. Never did figure out how they got so lucky.

PCWalton1 Posted May 9, 2017 Author #270 Share Posted May 9, 2017 We drove out to Waimea Canyon then on out to the end of the road.

PCWalton1 Posted May 10, 2017 Author #272 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hello, today we took the rental car up to Waimea Canyon and then continued out to the end of Highway 550 on the west coast. The day started nice with beautiful weather so the drive over was pleasant On the way up we stopped to take pictures of unique formations and a waterfall. Does this look like someone you know? ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted May 10, 2017 Author #273 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We arrived at the lookout and thankfully there was only one tour bus there (though two more arrived as we were departing). I think it is a requirement by law to post at least three pictures of the local chicken residents. Woman wouldn't move, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted May 10, 2017 Author #275 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We then headed out to Pu'u O Kila Lookout at the end of the highway, The idea was to take pictures of Kalalau Valley. As described "Clouds permitting, the views of Kalalau Valley are superb at this location and you can venture right up to the edge of the valley". So this is what we anticipated seeing: Yeah right. As we pulled up there was indicators it was not to be. Possibly it was the fog bank we drove through for the last half mile . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
