I think I have refused to finish this blog post about Hawaii because that would actually be admitting that my trip came to an end. Which it sadly did. We had such a great time and it is hard to believe how quickly it went by!
The last day of the trip we decided to go on a helicopter tour. We debated between that and a Napali Coast tour but decided a coast tour might be to choppy and rough for me. We went with Safari Helicopter Tours and the owner of the company was our pilot. There were 2 other couples on the chopper besides us.
The tour was breathtaking. Amazing aerial views of the island, especially of the Napali Coast. These shots aren't the clearest because they are taken through the helicopter window. The tour lasted about 45 minutes. It was amazing to cover the whole island in such a short period of time.
The rest of the day we spent hanging out around the pool. I think one of the hardest things about Hawaii is that the flights out of there are only red eyes. Our flight didn't leave until 9 o'clock that night, but we had to check out of our hotel at 11:00 am. Makes it tough to know what to do for the day. We didn't want to get into the ocean, because then we wouldn't have had any where to shower. I think if we would have planned it better we would have down Waimea Canyon after the tour so we wouldn't have had to feel like we were just sitting at the hotel on the beach. We did manage to hit Kauai Pasta again before we left.
It was a much needed vacation and I am so grateful we got to go! One last little hoorah before the next little munchkin joins our family.
