Kauai 2015 Day 8

Well a couple of very chatty roosters have deemed it unnecessary for me to sleep anymore. Someone should introduce them to the owners of Chicken in a Barrel lol. Oh well, I just got to see a beautiful full moon over the water. My camera wouldn't focus though, too dark. Yesterday was our transition day from Poipu to Princeville. We were up early getting packed and organized and were out the door shortly after nine. We had a bit of shopping to do. We stopped in Koloa to get our son a ukulele at Larrys and some shirts from Crazy Shirts. We had a quick stop at Costco again then off North we headed. We couldn't check in to HBR until 2 so we took our time stopping at Kilauea Lighthouse. Beautiful spot.

We also stopped at two different overlooks after the lighthouse.

We found our way to Hanalei Bay Resort, got checked in, found our room, opened the blinds and there was this amazing view. 

Its beautiful and we couldn't be happier with our room choice.  We got unpacked and explored a bit then went for a quick swim to cool down. We grilled some steaks, then settled on our lanai to watch the sunset. We're lucky with the location of our room. It's prime viewing for sunset. There was even someone playing the ukulele at the fire pit below us :) Here's our first sunset from HBR.

I'm going to try to figure out the interval shooting on my camera and do a time lapse video of the sunset.  Today's plans include a morning by the pool followed by golf at the Makai Course. We get discounted rates as guests at HBR.
