Poipu is awesome... definitely the best side of the island in terms of weather. Brenneckes is great for lunch or dinner. What hotel are you staying at? That area took at direct hit from a hurricane in 1992 and was basically destroyed. There is a hotel on the east side that still remains just as shell from that hurricane. But there is no evidence of the damage now on the south side. 4 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea is an easy drive. But need to plan for a 3 hour drive to Napali from there because its stop and go traffic the entire way. 3 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_convergence_zone Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Great tips, thanks everyone! Staying at Koloa Landing. I have a 3 year old so honestly half the trip is going to be spent in the pool since that's what she'll like. I'll definitely get up to Waimea Canyon...ideally I'll get a morning to go running up there since it looks like there are a number of decent trails. My wife gets sea sick so can't do boating unfortunately. Was planning on renting e-bikes since the kiddo likes riding on the back seat. I bookmarked Brennecke's...any other food recs? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawniganLake Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, iFred said: When I lived in Philly, I’d regularly drive two hours to a Safeway in Delaware to get one. When that store closed, I drove to DC. That said, given that most Canadians think that semitransparent water color paint passed off as coffee at Tim’s is better than anything you’d find at a Starbucks or that a Timbit is somehow a food group, I’m not surprised. Such a shame that for a nation with a disproportionately high number of Michelin star’d restaurants and even with the Quebecois pulling most of the culinary weight, Tim Hortons is considered “good Canadian fare”. McDonald’s has better coffee than Tim’s. To my knowledge McDonalds actually took over Tim’s original coffee blend supplier years ago. McDonalds coffee in Canada is what Tim’s coffee used to be. I don’t know anybody that thinks Tim’s is good. Just convenient and fast. I do like their bacon grilled cheese though. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even love Tim's Timposting during the Jesseist of cold seasons. The only off topic stuff I'll draw a line at are politics, religion, and baseball. The latter two are standard fare across the internet, but I generally hate baseball, hate the people who enjoy baseball, and actively do what I can to get the Mariners to relocate to Florida or Arizona.

MossMan Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 So I don’t get in trouble by the forum hall monitor Jesse…I won’t talk about vacations and how fun and relaxing it was when on the honeymoon to Kauai back in 2012. Laying pool side or beach side, and taking a few drives around to different places on the island. I also won’t talk about my mini vacations that I love to take each summer to Entiat, or other places in Eastern Wa to enjoy the dry heat while boating and jetsking. I also won’t talk about going back to Mexico to enjoy the warm beaches. Or even just hanging out at the family lake house. Nope not going to talk about how nice it is to enjoy the sun and warmth…Nope…Not going to talk about it… Can’t wait to get back on the water!! 2 2 1 1 Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border.

Seems like most of Poipu is doing pretty good now. Last time I was there was in 2015 and it was pretty nice. Stayed in the Marriott there. I will say there are Chickens and Roosters everywhere on the Island because the hurricane destroyed all the coops and chickens are basically top of the food chain there as there are no bears or cougars or anything like that. 4 Quote 2024 Warm Season Stats Number of 80+ days - 1 Number of 85+ days - 1 (warmest so far - 85) Number of 90+ days - 0 Number of 95+ days - 0 Number of 60+ lows - 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
