Alright so I have to give a little more on my Kauai visit from April...
You've seen the grand canyon (aka Waimea canyon)
Venturing further along I came across the Kalalau Lookout at an elevation of 4000ft, supposedly some of the most impressive views of the Na Pali coast which can really only be admired from boat, air or this lookout.
The jagged coastline is green massive and awe inspiring, like fuzzy mossy green fingers reaching out towards the ocean ( I had the priviledge of flying over on a small plane like glider called a micro light which some of you had the pleasure of watching except for all those haters out there....I"m talking to you Ron....LOL )
So here are some pics from the lookout which was covered in dense cloud cover, I took a pic of a pic that gives you the idea of what it should or could have looked like, instead I saw an impressive yet hidden visage of the coastline...very cold and wet up here, this is actually one of the few places in all of hawaii that can have a frost...I saw a picture of frost on shed and someone had written with their finger 29* for the temperature.
overall it was still very much worth the ride, I have heard that conditions can change very quickly up here, that is why I recieved many a warning regarding hiking in these parts and was told that you could visit this spot three times in a day and get an entirely different vantage....my one visit yielded heavy cloud cover, but I escaped before the rains came.....and as they do in hawaii...when the rains come you drive to the leeward coast of any island and sure enough it will be dry......
those pics are next....

I expect video from the shark cage, amigo. I heard the sharks really come quick if you tie a pot roast around your waist.
I also think we deserve a photo diary of your watching the Celtics win the NBA title tonight. I'm sure the streets of whereverthehellyouare will be packed with reveling C's fans.
