Episode #7 features another island (last week was Marco Island in Florida), but this week we're heading west to the island of Kauai in Hawaii. Joining me as my guest today is author and adventurer, Heidi Siefkas. Originally from small-town Wisconsin, she now lives in Kauai and also calls the Midwest and South Florida home. Heidi’s books include When All Balls Drop and With New Eyes. Currently, Heidi is writing her third book, Cubicle to Cuba, which features a humorous collection of stories about her travels to Cuba, Peru, New Zealand, Italy, and other far-flung places.

Known as the garden isle, Kauai is a different experience than the much of the rest of Hawaii, but beaches and active outdoor adventure are still plentiful. Some recommendation that Heidi makes include:

  • Sunday Brunch at Gaylord's
  • Kauai Beer Company on Rice Street - Food Truck Night on Thursday
  • Rob's Good Times Grill on Rice Street
  • Sunshine Market at Lihue Vidinha Stadium on Fridays
  • Sunset at Lihue Lighthouse or Poipu Beach House
  • Kayak to Kipu Kai (only one on the secluded beach seen in The Descendants) or Wailua River (kayak and hike to secret falls)
  • Hike Nualolo Trail in Waimea Canyon + Picnic Sunset at Kalalau Lookout
  • Surf lesson at Black Pot in Hanalei Bay and Barracuda for Tapas
  • Rent bike and do Kapa'a bike path

You can connect with Heidi on your favorite social media platforms:  Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, Instagram, and YouTube.

Be sure to join us next week when we continue talking about islands, this time the Galapagos.
