Known also as the "Garden Isle", Kauai lies 105 miles across the Kaua'i Channel, northwest of Oahu. This island is also the site of Waimea Canyon State Park.

Tomorrow, Michael and I will be flying to Kauai, the oldest island in the main Hawaiian chain. We'll be arriving Saturday evening, and leaving Wednesday evening for a Thursday morning return to Phoenix. I intend to blog each day we are there, so those of you who read these posts online will be kept up-to-date on our adventures. I expect limited email access and almost non-existent snail mail access so be warned. Out cellphones will work in most areas, but we do intend to do some hiking and kayaking so if you don't get us, please leave a message. In any case, I thought it would be appropriate today to post a little background information.
