What to do when winter weather is getting you down. You can go to New Zealand, or to the South West US, or you can go to Hawaii.

We stayed an extra day after a hiking oriented Elderhostel in Hawaii in February 2008.

We kayaked up the Wailua river then hiked to Secret Falls where I indulged a fantasy and swam across a pool to stand behind a waterfall. Another couple who had extended their stay joined me. Hubby passed on the swim and took pictures instead.

You definitely have the right idea! Great photos & looks like lots & lots of fun!!!
We did the same kayak trip and shower! It was the summer of 2002...I can't believe it's been that long ago. But, we had a blast slipping around on the muddy trails and finally reaching the falls for a good soaking. I love your photos! Brings back memories.
Great fun and adventure! When I think of fantasy, I'd like it to be a "fountain of youth'!
P.S. It will be partly sunny and cloud till the weekend.
I love this so refreshing and fun!
Happy WW.
It looks like you had a great time and a wonderful trip. You hubby is really enjoying the waterfall.
What an adventure!
Refreshing shower :)
Oh...this southwest resident would love to visit Hawaii ;^)
Great shots. That looks like a great place to be this time of year.
Beautiful!
I live in the Waterfall capital of the world apparently. Look us up, Hamilton Ontario Canada.
What fun, great pictures! I can almost hear the roar of the water falling and you guys laughing.
Perfect getaway, Martha! I love the waterfall pic. I did that once in the Grand Canyon.
Wonderful water shots - makes one happy :)

You're a very busy woman! This water fall is just stunning maybe I'll see it myself one day!
What a wonderful collection of photos, Martha. You must have had a fantastic time. Tell hubby he did a great job!
Ooh, ooh wonderful!
Thank you for this much needed escape. What a joy it must have been, makes one glad to read about the happiness.
Please have a wonderful Thursday you all.
Looks fun to me! Nice pix.

What a beautiful waterfall, and great shot of standing behind the wall of water.
So fun. You've had a lot of great Elderhostel adventures. We're contemplating an adventure this summer or next. Of course, adventures happen every day.
