The second step in our honeymoon planning was to choose an island on which to stay. Our choices:
All of the islands are beautiful and would be amazing to visit, BUT some of these islands are some of the most popular vacation spots. Meaning, there would be a bazillion people and it would be geared towards tourists. This is not our idea of perfect vacations. So we thought about what we'd like to see the most.
From our research and speaking with people who have visited many of the islands, we decided we wanted to see the volcano the most, but we'd settle for the hundreds of waterfalls on Kauai. I looked up the different timeshares available and their proximity to the volcano. There was only one. Vacation Internationale Sea Montain - 5 minutes from the black sand beach, Farmer's Market ~20 minutes, close to the volcano, great reviews. Why wouldn't we want to stay there?
It turns out we are not the only people wanting to stay there. The resort was booked up for 2 years. Sad face :(. So we got on the waiting list. We also put ourselves on the wait list for resorts in Kauai. It seemed like every few days my mom was getting calls and emails for available condos in Kauai. They were all for Princeville. This was not the most ideal location so we kept turning them down. It got to a point where we were afraid of not getting a place to stay at all. So we took an offer with good dates. It had a full kitchen and the reviews for the resort were great. The pictures on the resort were beautiful.
So my peeps, do you know why this area of Kauai is famous? 10 points to the one who can tell me what musical/movie is played here.
South Pacific
The musical movie was filmed on the beach just down the road from the resort. Remember the song Bali Hai? Yeah, that's right!
I am super stoked about this trip. The mister says it has yet to hit him, but he will be giddy for it as time approaches.
