Today we moved to The Cliffs on the North side. One of the main reasons for this trip, is to be here for the calm north side beaches this time of year. I guess that's good in theory, but not when you have hurricanes barreling down on you! Anyway, we could have stayed in one of the Wyndham resorts in Princeville, but we had a week to use with Trading Places, so when the Cliffs came available in a lofted unit (3rd floor---no little feet running around above us!), I took it. Turns out I could have gotten any of the Wyndham resorts for 50% off and free upgrades on a couple of them, but the exchange was done. RCI says The Cliffs is a Gold Crown resort, so that was encouraging.
So we were up relatively early---for us---and packing our stuff out to the car. At least it's a lot less stressful travelling from one part of the island to another then to fly to another island! We had to be out of Kauai Beach Villas by 10, but knew we might not get into The Cliffs until 4, so didn't plan on any snorkeling---luggage in the car and no beach towels pretty well insured that---not to mention Hurricane Lester.
On our way, we stopped at Kealia beach to check out the high surf.
