Hawaii; Kauai- Luau Kalamaku and other Adventures

In short, the Luau was so much fun!! Yeah there was some things I enjoyed ( purple sweet potatoes) and other things not so much (Poi, ewww.) But it truly was a celebration feast. It started to rain on our festivities, but it was a fine mist again. The Luau took place in this huge open canapy style tent. And there were THOUSANDS of people here to get their grub on! :) We did discover the Mai Tai. But don't turn me into my bishop...they were virgin. ;) Before the Luau we got to tour the plantation by train ride and we saw the papaya, mango trees, banana trees, among other tropical vegetation. I was starting to feel a little bit better thanks to my Benadryl. I got a lei again, but it was killing me...it rubbed right against my burn. I hurt so bad! But at least I looked cute! LOL. :) Andrea looked like a little wahine, and poor Nancy joined me in my sunburnedness, I am sorry...if that's not a word, well it is now! After the train tour..it was like an open flea market outside to buy stuff. I ended up buying this beautiful picture of Waimea Canyon, that was painted by a local artist. They had food things, lots of handmade jewlery, local Hawaiian culture knick knacks..but you know us tourists are suckers for all that stuff. I tried to be good! Especially when my fundange was coming to an end. One thing is for sure on cruises, you are ALWAYS doing something, you come home needing a vacation from the vacation. Enjoy my pics...the official cruise photo at the Luau coming soon! Thats all for now....
