Description & Facts: Aloha, I'm Michele. You can visit me at my site www.travelgoddess.org. Kauai has been my home for nine years. Allow me to share with you my insiders scoop. I live in Lihue which is on the East Side. Kauai, also known as the Garden Island, is on the list of the world's most spectacular islands. It's raw beauty and natural environment offers all the elements: moody rainforests, emerald valleys, swaying palm trees, golden sunsets, sparkling waterfalls, and did I mention....some of the most spectacular beaches you'll find anywhere! -- You don't just come to Kauai; you absorb it with every sense. Options abound here: there are water sports; miles of trails through rainforests and along ocean cliffs for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders; and golf options that range from championship links to funky local courses where chickens roam the greens and balls wind up embedded in coconut trees. Need to relax and heal stressed nerves? Here you'll find miles of sandy beaches, perfect for lingering and meditating, with an endless supply of laid-back, lazy ways to spend your days that end with the sun sinking into the Pacific amid a blaze of glorious tropical color. My blog will entice you, just have a look. I include pictures and videos creating the possibilities of a perfect vacation on this island Oasis. I am lucky to live in Hawaii. Share with me your thoughts and dreams of this most spectacular place on earth. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
