Kauai
2007

home | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 | Day 8

Well, the day started off with a little bit of excitement. The town car we had ordered did not show up (!) and so we had to call a cab. Luckily there was one five minutes away and it being 4:15 am there was very little traffic and we got the airport by 4:45 and it was no problem making our 6 am flight. Whew...

We arrived in Kauai around 1 pm and by 3 we had retrieved our rental car, checked in and swam in the ocean. Nice. We had to walk down the beach a bit to find a safe swimming spot as the shore right next to the resort is kinda rocky and it did not look too safe to jump in. So once we got out of the water we walked back along the road and shopped for food as our unit has a kitchenette. We had a couple of Coronas in the sun and I feel _exactly_ like the guy in the Corona ads.

While Shelley made dinner I crashed hard on the bed... I guess 2.5 hours of sleep 18 hours ago is not enough for Martin.

Now the full moon is reflecting on the ocean and there are torches lit on the resort grounds and it's exactly like I imagined it would be. You can hear the ocean and I'm in heaven. Add a rogue wireless network to the mix and all is good.

Martin: 45 minutes in the sun did nothing to deaden the glare from my pale skin.
