My homeaway from home


By now you might wonder where exactly I am staying. This is Allerton House, located on a white sand beach where turtle nest. Gentle waves lap up at the shore and Lotus flowers blow in the pond. The home is surrounded by carved statues of Greek origin.

Sadly, I am not staying here.

Dino Eggs


Does this tree look familiar? The next time Jurassic Park comes on tv, compare this photo to the scene in the movie where they find the dino eggs. Yes, that's right, this is the same tree.
Many movies are filmed on the island of Kauai. The thick, green forests, or perhaps I should say, the native forests overrun by invasive plant species, can provide a lush backdrop to just about any film. We had lunch on the beach where 6 days/7 nights was filmed. Stood on the plateau used in South Pacific and hunted for dino eggs in the Allerton Gardens.
