suggestions for last day activities prior to red-eye flight?

Aloha, we%26#39;ll be on Kauai mid-March and returning on Alaska Airlines red-eye to Seattle. Any suggestions as to how to fill our last day? What should we do with our luggage? Will it be safe to leave it in our trunk? Thanks so much for your help. I%26#39;ve really enjoyed reading this forum as we%26#39;ve been planning this trip! Maloha

suggestions for last day activities prior to red-eye flight?

Aloha, elliottsonpender,

I got what I thought was a great idea from the man we are renting a home through in Princeville. He suggested buying a one day membership at the Princeville Country Club (I think it%26#39;s around $25-$30). We will have access to their pool, showers, spa, gym, golf, restaurant, etc. up until we leave for the airport. If we choose to leave and go to a beach, we will still have a place to get cleaned up before leaving.

Just remember that the spa does not include being able to use the Princeville Hotel%26#39;s pool. A lot of people think you can go to the hotel and use those facilities. It basically gives you access to their gym, showers, lap pool. Anyone can use the golf course and restaurant. Also check with the spa as they are remodeling and moving to the hotel.

First of all check with the place you are staying and see if they do a late check out policy. If you can get it extended a few hours that would even be nice. Then go have lunch, go for a drive somewhere you haven%26#39;t been (suitcases are fine in the trunk), do some last minute shopping, visit the museum and go to Dukes for dinner. You could even drop you luggage off before dinner as Dukes is close to the airport.

Another idea is there are showers at many beaches. Get that extra day of tanning in, shower and then go to Dukes or Portofino for dinner.

Your luggage is probably safe except at remote trail heads or remote beaches. We do have some petty theft so don%26#39;t push it.

The spa idea is a good one. Might also call the Marriot to see what the deal is re their day spa. I know they have a separate pool up on the bluff but unsure what other amenities you can use. They are right at the airport so very convenient. And the beach is good for swimming.

jebett, does the Princeville Country Club not have their own pool? I must have misunderstood what the man told me. Is the Princeville Country Club connected to the Princeville Hotel in some way? I was unaware of that and never thought about going to the hotel%26#39;s pool.

I am on the same page as Elliott with Alaska Airlines- we have to check out of our place at noon, but we don%26#39;t fly until 10:30pm!

Ask if your host will give you a late check out, but it may depend on when the next guest arrives. We%26#39;re crossing our fingers that that have a late arrival time!!

we have arranged a late check-out well ahead of time, for a fee. it is worth it to have the day to enjoy and still allow time for final packing, showers, and a leisurely dinner....you can actually feel more like it is another one of your vacation days, instead of just ';day to go home';. well worth the fee!!!

The Princeville Country club has their own pool. The facility is just off the main highway about 1 mile south of the main entrance to P-ville proper.

check it out. you can see the pool

it%26#39;s actually east. In those areas Kuhio Hwy runs basically from east to west along the northern top of the island.

The pool at the spa is a lap pool, right Dave? I haven%26#39;t been there in ages. It%26#39;s not really a country club. It is located where the Prince course is about a mile before the main entrance to the Princeville community. I mentioned the differences to the pool because when people hear ';the pool at Princeville'; they assume it%26#39;s the infinity pool at the hotel. There have been many posts on here asking if you buy a spa pass does that entitle you to spend the day at the pool at the hotel and that is a no! Last I heard they are moving the spa from the golf course to the main hotel. Not sure when that will take place. They are doing it because guests don%26#39;t like driving to the golf course for their spa treatments. Makes sense to me.

That $30 pass might cost you a lot more if you do the spa treatments like massages, facials etc.

';Ask if your host will give you a late check out, but it may depend on when the next guest arrives. We%26#39;re crossing our fingers that that have a late arrival time!!';

It usually doesn%26#39;t depend on if the next guests are arriving late. It depends on if anyone is arriving that day at all. If I don%26#39;t have someone checking in the day someone leaves I will offer them a 1/2 off daily rate for stays up to 5 pm. Anything past that time and I feel a guest should pay for the entire day. If you leave by 5pm then it gives you time to do last minute shopping and have dinner near the airport. It sure makes the trip more enjoyable not to have to pack up early.
