Hawaiian Island Hopping! - First stop, the Big Island

Picture
 This IDC adventure was one for the entire family with many of the younger children present. Our first stop, the Hilton Waikoloa Village, was a child's paradise, being more like a theme park than a hotel.  Guests travel the resort aboard mahogany boats that cruise tranquil waterways.  Along with the boat rides, the hotel boasts three swimming pools (two featuring waterfalls & slides, one for adults only); snorkeling or kayaking, Dolphin Quest Learning Lagoon.... 8 tennis courts, well you get the picture.

The Fairmont Orchid Hotel

Bob made arrangements for an incredible dinner at Fairmont Orchid Hotel.  The staff moved table, chairs, candles, rug, highboy, all out on a point facing west for a truly out door experience as we dined and watched the sun set on the Kohala Coast.(www.fairmont.com/Orchid)

Someone's First IDC Experience

Kauai

Picture
Your first thought as you land on the island of Kauai is that you have fallen into a third world county.   Chickens strut in small front yards along small two lane roads.  And then, you start getting a glimpse of the beaches and it is breath-taking. 

We stayed in different hotels.  Some staying at the Sheraton which had a great day camp for children. Others stayed at the Hyatt.  But we all got together for a Catamaran Boat trip around the Napali Coast. 

The helicopter rides were not bad either!
