Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.

Dream.

Discover.

Hanakapi'ai Falls, Kauai

Well, I haven't been keeping up with the blog very well the last month or so, but here is a video Nick shot of the waterfall we hiked to on the NaPali Coast in Kauai last weekend. It was about 8 miles there and back and the scenery was spectacular. The hike was fairly tough: very up and down and VERY wet - our boots are still covered in red mud! I had a muddy bum when we finished too after I preferred to do one steep downhill sitting down rather than risk slipping and going over the edge! I will upload more photos soon...
