The blowhole? But yea, I have to agree.. Kauai is amazing! I'm assuming the 6k is after travel itineraries, rental cars and hotels? If so you should be good unless you are going to party hard. Money wise it's not comparable to Vegas unless you are a gambler... Miami is similar though. If you guys are into chillin on the beach 6k will easily cover food and going out... Places like Michele's will test you though... It will cost you like $200 for a 2 person dinner assuming you don't drink up the bar lol... And make sure you make all dinner reservations like a month in advance because a lot of the good restaurants are in town and are flooded with tourists

Me and the wife did the shark encounter at sealife park last month... It was cool (they only had hammerhead sharks at the time) it was like 99 bucks regular price but military tickets from our were like 80 bucks each ... But I decided it was safer than open sea lol. I suggest looking at the almanac for sunset times on the days you want to have dinner at places like top of Waikiki etc... Book it for 20-30 mins prior to sunset so you can dine and watch the sunset... also you might want to check out Roy's .. Their food is amazing!

And afterwards he pulls out a MacBook.. Burns all unedited photos to disc on the spot! I will throw a pic or 2 from our shoot up (unedited versions) so you can see his work?. Best part is he will meet you anywhere on island... And if you call him he is super helpful in finding the right spot! He will be shooting my car in late January as well (once I return from Afghanistan)

Yea, he is a super cool dude.. He was real good with my kids too which was a plus! There should be plenty of surfers out since you are coming during the peak swell months!

So my car got started yesterday and it sounded a lot healthier than before. Don't know why but it sounded a lot more solid. But as everything, it just ran for a couple of minutes and then it got flooded with gas. Tuning here we go. I get back at the end of August. hopefully i can ride the car before i leave again and enjoy it. Hopefully i dont put a rod out of the side when tuning. lol

I did that one with my parents last September, and am taking my sister in 2 weeks. It's the best of the two, since you get more time in the water. Not likely to see a great white, though. They are very rare here.
I have some awesome pics and video from the last trip. Lemme see if I can upload them somewhere...
