No need to hate me Kal. I will still come home with a near zero bank balance, courtesy of my 12 year old granddaughter and her best friend going over there with me. Damn, women start shopping at an early age!

Thanks for sharing the great pix -- and the advice! Hanalei looks beautiful.

Songdoc,
Ahem...It's TERRIBLE...I repeat, Terrible. Those pictures are deceiving.
Have fun deciding.

My wife and I stayed at one of the cliff cottages in Lihue one time, thinking that the central location would make it easier to go north or south on any given day. It turned out that it was harder because no matter which way we headed, we ran into either Kapaa or ("southside") Lihue traffic--or both. Now we either stay in the north so that we can monitor the weather immediately and head south if necessary, or split our stay between the north and the south, which cuts down on road travel--and traffic tie-ups--considerably. The half-day we lose in making the move from one area to the other is more than compensated by the time we save by avoiding the Kapaa and Lihue traffic snarls.

:-? Hmmmmmm.....

TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC!

That's why I'm going to Maui! There's no traffic on Maui!
