The brochure clearly states that we will be arriving in Kauai at 4:00pm on Sunday. Imagine my surprise upon awaking Sunday morning and looking out the window, and seeing that we are pulling into port. When asking the Purser about this, I was told that they put a later time in the brochure in case we encounter problems enroute to our destination (10 hours?) I didn't buy it. My guess is that the brochure contains a typographical error. But since we're here already, I'd better get my day planned! I spent the morning inspecting the Marriott Hotel, which was located within walking distance of the ship. If anyone is looking for a place to stay on Kauai, I highly recommend the Marriott, it's beautiful! I decided to sign up for the afternoon excursion to the Fern Grotto. This shore excursion was okay but it turned out to be the least of my favorites throughout the week.  I decided to spend my second day on Kauai visiting Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. It is 10 miles long, one mile wide and 3,400 feet deep and it's totally awesome! We'll be leaving Kauai at 5:30pm. This is a beautiful, lush island, unlike any place I've ever visited. I'll definitely return some day! Interested in becoming a travel agent? Follow this link to find out more. Home Based Travel Agent
