Goals

We booked our 7 day trip for Kauai last week and we will on the plane the Monday after the Iditarod (March 8th) and home the following Monday.

The Warhammer Tournament at Brimfrost will be the weekend after we return and there will actually be some degree of points for a painted army. My strength is in painting rather than being a good general, so I now have my goal. 2 months, 2K worth of dwarfs. It's doable. Sprint through painting an army in the next 8 weeks and then run off to a tropical honeymoon. Go!

The best Hawaii guidebooks are the Revealed series. There's one per island. It's really all you need and the newest edition is only a year old.

Sadly, the "Garden Isle" is probably the one I know the least about except that it is supposed to be the most beautiful (as if the other islands aren't). That said, I can recommend:

- JoJo's Shave Ice on Pokole Rd in Waimea (you want the one that looks like this picture - NOT the colorful one on the main highway - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vj0IbK7KtBTpKJdcU7d0bQ?select=kWpPazGZXZPrqjyYROOunA )
- Roy's Poipu Bar & Grill in Koloa
- Shrimp Station in Waimea
- Barking Sands Beach because the sand really barks (you've actually seen a hula about it)
- helicopter tour of the Na Pali Coast
