Thank you guys for always being so funny and so helpful and trying to keep things light-hearted. I've gotten tons of information from your posts and had many a chuckle over your comments. Some of us gals need to take a page from your book.

Bill, I am planning a trip to north Kauai in 2007 (I know...I know) and have about five cottages bookmarked. When the time grows closer, I want to compare notes with you as I know you are in the know about this...

crazy...be careful of the path he leads you!! We are going back in 2007..probably November..when are you going?

iceeu2 - I'm looking at March or June of 2007. Do you have any idea where you'll be staying yet? I'll run my research by you too.

crazy,

Cottages? Kauai? Rentals on Kaua'i has become a hobby (sick?) of sorts. I'd be happy to share whatever info I have with you. Let me know. I have my helpful moments, ya know.

We're going in July /August 2007 probably. Maybe a north shore/south shore trip this time. Maybe a BI/Kauai combo, not sure yet.

aloha,

-Bill

I love it that I am not the only one planning our 2007 Hawaii trip!! And we haven't even taken our 2006 one yet to Maui and BI

2007 will be the trip we finally try Kauai (I think) so I'll be looking for rentals or hotels, too!

b'86,

:-? 2007....2007......You may want to check because I thought they were closing for maintenance sometime in 2007.
You think those gorgeous Emerald Mountains are real? Coutresy of Mohawk and Dutch Boy!
I'll check it out for you in 43 more days.
I've been planning our 09-'06 return to Europe since June so....try planning for about 12-14 people!

c4,
We keep wishing we had the nerve to stay at the Waimea Plantation Cottages over on the Westside.
One of thses dayyyyyys.

Kal: Closing for maintenance, huh? Well, we'll be traveling in August, so hopefully it will be done by then. Take a look for us and report back, ok? If you travel each Jan., you should be there twice more before it's our turn!

409 until 2006 but who's counting?

Bill (iamq), Georgia and I will be heading back in 2007 also in July / August I think.....oh wait, now that she is retired from school district, she may want to go another time.

But, if we go when you are there, we will have to do anohter GTG at Happy Talk...........Auntiemarie, you get ready!!

Hey, I'm waaaayyy behind all of you--only looking as far ahead as a year from now, and don't know where to.
Crazy, what a nice post.
Bill, if cottage rental searches are an obsession for you in Kauai, wait'll you get to St John!
Beachgirl, you gotta try Kauai in 2007!! Keep twisting your husband's...arm?
Kal, I don't get the "nerve" re Waimea Plantation Cottages. Too far from the action? Isn't it conveniently close to Waimea Brew Pub? (Or is that what you're afraid of?)

Billyboy..............hold me back, please!

Ladies and gentlemen,
Sorry to rain on your parade, but we are going to Kauai in MAY 2006. LOL.

I still find your posts informative as we still haven't been everywhere yet -- too busy fighting the chickens on the road.

Aloha Crazy4HI,
It is indeed an honor to receive recognition along with the helpful and hilarious Kahuna and iamq!!!

Mucho mahalos and best wishes for your stay on the beautiful GardenIsle.

JohnD as Wally, iamq as Eddie and Kal as The Beaver.....

I have a better idea: Kal, John, Bill - 3 musketeers. And I'll be D'Artagnan!

(hey, I held my tongue for too long! fencing, anyone?)

Larry, Moe and Curley...you decide!!!

Kal, you've surpassed my trio expectation, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk

Hey!!! I resemble that remark.

Otay den, Bill -
Check out these little beauts for me:

Halei Makai Cottages
Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage
Hanalei House

I'm wanting to be near the beach and near town (a nice mountain view never hurts as I'm a mountain girl at heart). I usually go all over an island trying to see everything. Now after multiple trips to the big four (very little time in Oahu, though), I'm ready to take a trip that's all about the relaxation. May get in the car very little...

Faina,
Ooooo, D'Artagnan was always my favorite. So clever...and cute!

Kal,
Me? Eddie? You strike me as the Eddie of our group. I'm more of a Wally. (Actually, I'm really the most like June, if you must know). John is surely the Beav.

I2,
It is hard isn't? I had a slip this morning with the other poster and I semi-regret it now. So, whoa girl!

Crazy,
I'll get back to you in an hour or so.

aloha,

Bill
