Sun, Fun, and Breezy Palms in Nawiliwili

Ursula and I have spent some time over the years here in the Crown Princess’ next port of call — Nawiliwili on the island of Kauaʻi.  Indeed, you can read more on this island on by previous articles listed at the end of this one.

Crown Princess in Nawiliwili

We arrived on October 25, 2015, the morning after the Crown Princess departed Lahaina, Maui.  The Nawiliwili Beach Park is home to a previous non-cruise destination, the beautiful Kaua’i Marriott, where we stayed some twenty years ago when we traveled here with Ursula’s father and his girlfriend.  This past trip was when we also discovered that delightfully decadent Kimo’s Original Hulu Pie at Duke’s Kauai.  You’ll see more on both of these destinations on Wednesday.  Until then, let me just whet your appetite with a description on that desert — whipped cream atop toasted macadamia nuts, afloat on hot fudge over macadamia nut ice cream nestled in a chocolate cookie crust.  And the gardens inside the Marriott hold a lot of wonders, such as beautiful tropical birds and these gold fish:
