We took some time to drive around and see some places we hadn't gone to in the past. The road to Kilauea lighthouse was being worked on so we thought we would visit the other lighthouse.

There are some great views there and you can drive right up to it. It makes for a nice stop if your in the area.

After all our trips to Kauai, we finally made our first trip to Dukes. It is a staple for many people during their visits and I don't know why it took us so long to try it out. Great place and we will be bringing friends during our next trip.

The remodel has started and you are going to love the changes. You can check out the model unit when your there, it's unit F102. They were working in the K building during our visit in February. Sounded like they would then move to the G building then on to the A building. During that time they will also be doing a few units at a time in the F building.

Let me know what you think of the updates. It will take them about three years to complete all the units.

Here's another thing that most people do on their first trip so after many years we took the Fern Grotto tour. We'll worth it for $20. You do have to walk a bit when you get to the Grotto but it's a very easy walk.

While walking back to the Pono Kai from Sam's OceanView we saw this Hawaiian Monk Seal and I was able to get some quick video and pictures.

Sam's opened up in the old OceanWalk building. We love this location. It's a short walk from the Pono Kai just up the Coastal Path. The view is great and we love to stop in for lunch. It's not cheap but not too expensive either. Happy hour and specials are good.
