Islands in the sun

All mine and Jenn's lodgings are finally booked. On Maui we're staying in a condo in south Kihei, right across from the beach.

It's the Kihei Kai Nani. Should be nice. It's also very reasonably priced for Hawaii.

As for Kauai, I booked a room at the Islander on the Beach. I reserved an oceanfront room, which from the overhead picture looks like it's an awesome view.

I really have to give a recommendation for the guidebook that Matt (Julie's brother-in-law) suggested to me. The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook:Kauai Revealed, it's proven very useful, and it had reviews of all the hotels/condos that I was considering. I also got the Maui Revealed Guidebook.

Depending on the availability of internet access, I should be updating here with pictures and stories while I'm on the islands, so it'll be like you're right there with us. Except you won't be. Ha.
