Our trip to Kauai, June 2006:
Taking advantage of the cheap airfares being offered by all the major inter-island airlines,
4 IfA-ers and 10 of the REU summer students took the June long weekend to travel to Kauai.
Beaching, hiking, and camping were enjoyed by all. Below are the pictures that I took of our weekend.

The composites were made by hand, so they're not very smooth, but they get the point across.
