Kauai, Why Not?

One of the benefits of being Intel expats in Dalian is that Intel will provide two "home" leaves to the U.S. each year. The other leaves have been used to return home to visit friends and family, but with our assignment coming to an end in just a few short weeks, we thought what better way to use a home leave than to travel to Hawaii. It's the U.S. right, so kind of like our home? After our honeymoon in Maui last year we thought we couldn't go wrong. 

After little consideration of which island to travel to, we decided on Kauai where spent one week on the garden isle. We had a great time. I've definitely fallen in love with Hawaii, great weather, nice people, great food, spectacular sights and adventure. What's not to love?
