Hawaii - Part II

Without further ado, below are some photos from Hawaii. My beginner photog skills couldn't come close to capturing the beauty of the two amazing islands we visited (Kauai and Maui), but hope you can use a little imagination to envision this paradise of a place. This is a random collection of photos from our different activities, places we visited and hotels (which were AMAZING). There are still so many more photos to edit, so stay tuned for more.

Welcome Kauai.

We were lucky enough to land at Lihue Airport and make the 40-minute drive to Princeville as the sun set. What a breathtaking drive through winding roads, cliffs and the most curious assortment of plants, trees and flowers. Because it receives a great deal of rain, Kauai is able to sustain many different kinds of plants. Below are a few snapshots of our drive to Princeville.

These Aspen-like trees stand tall against the blue sky and are complimented by many, many other kinds of beautiful tall trees.

Welcome to Princeville!! What a perfect welcoming into Princeville, a semi-private collection of homes and resorts.

One of the best and worst parts of traveling West is jet lag will get the best of you at night, but it lends for some bright and early mornings leaving plenty of time for fun adventures, activities or pool-side drinking (yes please!). I did a sunrise photo shoot the first morning which was one of my favorite parts of the trip.

Makai Golf Course

Just a few random pics from my big day riding in a golf cart. Who says you can't have fun on a golf course even if you're not golfing. :)

This was a mystical little path that I found intriguing...hey I was riding in a golf cart with nothing to do...wouldn't this seem intriguing to you too? :)

I decided to practice my macro (close up) photography. This was kind of a fun random shot!

And look at these cute little guys! Ducks, geese and chicken roam freely on Kauai.

Welcome to Maui.

My absolute favorite part of Maui was the hotel. The Wailea Four Seasons is AHHmazing. Besides the celeb spotting and delish meals we indulged in, the property is just incredibly relaxing and over the top.

Tiki torches decorate the property and each evening there's a hula torch lighting ceremony. A male and female hula dancer perform a ritual to light the torches. Unfortunately we missed it both nights, but we heard it was definitely worth grabbing a drink at the open-air lobby bar and watching.

The fabulous Four Seasons pool - I just love this place!
