Day 6 – Smith Family Luau and Central Kauai

   “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the […]

Day 5 – Ha’ena State Park and North Kauai

Day 3 – Kilauea and Hanalei Bay

It was a nice service with familiar songs and a good message from Revelation 22 by Pastor Steve Rex. Quote of the morning was, “There is nothing better here than what will be with God.” Very true, even […]

We walked over and enjoyed some fire dancing, street vendors and some burgers and […]

Day 1 – Pre-Kauai
