I’m finally getting a chance to write my review of the St. Regis Princeville Resort. Life got busy after my trip to Hawaii, but better late than never. Hawaii was truly the trip of a lifetime made even better by my stay at the St. Regis. My only complaint was that I missed George Clooney filming "The Descendants" at the hotel. Maybe I will run into him next time I’m in Kauai.

A Delta agent quickly escorted a man in a business suit down the jet bridge stairway into the Porsche. It happened so quickly the only thing I could confirm was that the man wasn’t Richard Anderson (Delta CEO). I figured this was the only reasonable explanation for a luxury car whisking away someone ...
On my third day in Kauai I thought it would be an awesome idea to hike the north coast unreachable by car. I read a great guidebook “The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook,” by Andrew Doughty that outlined the various trails on the island. The Kalalau Trail running for 11 miles along with north coast looked the most appealing. You drive north on Highway 56 through Ha’ena State Park until the road ends. The trail starts there.

Hawaii Vacation: Day 2
I didn’t arrive at my hotel until midnight on Sunday so I couldn’t see what was around me until early the next morning. My hotel, St. Regis Princeville, was a 45-minute drive north from Lihue airport. Nothing says welcome to Hawaii like dangerous curves and terrain with no streetlights and heavy rain.
Once I woke up and looked outside there was a true appreciation for this place (and Starwood’s Free Getaway ...
