Hawaii Day 6

This was the day we transferred islands from Maui to Kauai. We had to take a small turboprop airplane, but the flight was only an hour. Once landing on Kauai we had a small wait for our luggage. After that we quickly got our rental car and head up to Princeville on the north end of the island. The weather was a little cloudy but that's normal for this end of the island. Although last time we were here we didn't have clouds except for the last day. Oh well.

We had to do battle with the less than competent hotel staffer named Henrick. He was pretty stupid. We were told before arriving that we would be put on a high floor (which is important at this hotel otherwise you are pretty much right next to the pool). He told us, "I see you are on the 4th floor, but we have up graded you to a room on the second floor." Excuse me? That is not an upgrade, Henrick. Eventually, we got to talk to somebody else who quickly looked at the computer and told us there was a room on the 7th floor. So we took it.

That night we went to the Hanalei Dolphin for some great sushi! This place loves to put tempura flakes on all their rolls, but they were still good.

  1. Every once in a while you run into a real dope. Or worse yet someone who is just trying to make your life miserable. The only thing you can really do is go over his head.

  2. we humored him and looked at the second floor room. When we came back up we were lucky and just started talking to another staff member who took care of us.
