Lokelani Garden Cottage, in Kapaa on Kauai - Affordable Paradise
On my search for places and events to go when we’re in Hawaii I discovered the event planner of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB). On that page you may select a time frame, one ore more islands and several categories and voila: you get a list of events taking place.
For our Trip to Paradise I stored four queries in our bookmarks and our wiki pages:
After that I signed up for a account at the HVCB, signed up for some newsletters and added some events to my list (hey HVCB wouldn’t it be cool to have everybody a public link to his very own “My Hawaii”?).
I found a bunch of new websites to add them to our Hawaii 2010 bookmarks :-)

Thanks Martin!
We started our Trip to Paradise on the island of Kaua’i (actually we had a one night stop at Ohana Airport Hotel, Honolulu). After we had arrived on Kaua’i on 4/24/10 our first stop was at Ahukini State Recreational Pier:
Ahukini Pier is situated at mouth of the Hanamaulu Stream. It consists of a cement pier with a wooden walkway located where the stream meets the Pacific Ocean.
Ahukini Pier is an excellent place for pole fishing and crab netting. The site also offers opportunities for viewing the scenery of Hanama’ulu Bay. Hanama’ulu Bay is a State Fishery Management Area (FMA) and therefore strict regulations on spear fishing and net fishing apply to the area.
We enjoyed some wonderful moments before we continued to Kapa’a. And, of course, I took some pictures :-)
The pier is only some few minutes away from Lihue Airport. The exact location is on the Flickr map.
We will post additional articles with information on our trip and pictures on an unregular frequency so stay tuned…
