I’m staying at the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki and I love the view here. Every morning, I wake up and see this from my window. Lovely huh? And that was taken with an iPhone! I did edited it using PS Mobile, a bit to give it more interest. :) It looks like a miniature paradise huh?
Flying in a small plane over Kauai has to be one the most adventurous things I’ve ever done, not to mention my favorite activity (so far) in Kauai! The view from above was amazingly breath-taking!
My husband and I did a drive around the island yesterday, and hiked up to a few parts of Kauai… but seeing it from above puts it in a whole new perspective! I can’t say it enough.. it’s simply amazing!
It rained a lot yesterday, which is why we booked the flight for today. I’m so glad we did because we saw waterfalls everywhere!
We came prepared with cameras of course, and got the most amazing photos from up above. You can see all the beautiful coastlines and beaches, as well as the vast vegetation and discover the hidden world on the mountainous tops of Kauai. Hundreds of different bird species live up here and the wettest place in the exists here as well.
If you ever get the chance to come to Kauai, I highly recommend a plane ride above the island. The best time is on a clear afternoon, right after a few days of rainfall. It’s such a wonderful treat for your eyes!
We flew on AirVentures and had such a fabulous time. The staff is really nice and helpful, and they make sure they take a photo of you with the plane before taking off, and that you’re comfortable on the flight.
More photos from the SLR, Canon Powershot, and the iPhone 3Gs when I get back.
I had a great time at the [RE]Think Hawaii Tweetup tonight. It was geektastic! Christine Lu and the ReThink Hawaii Crew put together an amazing event. I had the opportunity to meet so many fantastic geeks there that I hope to see again soon.

After mochi-making, Ed dropped us off at the car rental place, and we went around, exploring what the island has to offer.
Dinner at Zenshu sounded really good! We ordered Sushi platter, which had 6 of the freshest sushi of the day, and the Halloween Roll, which was perfect because it was Halloween! For dessert, we had green tea ice cream. Yum.
I give this place 5 out of 5 stars! Great service, delicious food, and great deals.
I got a special treat today. Actually, I MADE a special treat today! Happy Hearts Mochi was kind enough to teach Nerd’s Eye View, Albert, Ed, and I, how to make mochi from scratch! That’s not something I’ve done in Hawaii before!
It was so much fun and somewhat messy at the same time. We made the peanut butter and beans mochi. And got to taste the pumpkin, strawberry, and haupia (coconut) ones. The strawberry ones were definitely my favorite!
Renee, thanks so much for teaching us the ways of Happy Hearts Mochi! We’ll be back soon!
p.s. Don’t worry, we ate all the ones we made. So you’re only going to buy the professional ones made by Happy Hearts Mochi. ;)
