I wholeheartedly agree. But, in an it's about me moment, I'm supposed to arrive in Kauai for a 10 day run starting on 3/25. Rented a cottage in Hanalei.
Can anyone lend any insight into the likelihood we'll be able to snorkel and see anything? The concept was to have my kids get to snorkel for their first time. Is that gonna happen? I realize my vacation plans are insignificant compared to what's happening there but any thoughts about the appropriateness of going on this trip are appreciated.
The highway is open to the north shore, but it is one lane, shared. It is apparently going to be like that for some time to come (I heard months).
As for snorkeling, it usually takes about two weeks after the heavy rains stop for the water (and visibility) to return to near normal. So if the heavy rains are over, you may be okay. If they continue, well, maybe not.
