Friday, January 24, 2014 we boarded a plane for Kauai, Hawaii. A friend of ours was gracious enough to invite us along for a mid winter trip to the garden island.
For the most part, the flight was pleasant. A few bumps along the way, but nothing too extreme. Around 2pm Kauai time, we landed and began our adventuring. Actually we went shopping for food to fill the fridge for a week.
Both Debbie and I were badly in need of a trip away. Sometimes when you provide for many people you forget to take care of yourselves.
When the chance came to get away, we took it. No Jeeps this time. Emma is in the hands of a trusted friend and border collie trainer, along and with one of her litter mates, so she is getting a vacation of her own.
Make the jump for more story and pics.
First stop, obligatory umbrella drink. This one was kinda nasty. Maybe we should have waited. So with the weird alcohol/umbrella concoction out of the way, vacation had officially began.
Even though it is winter, flowers are still in bloom. Not as many as you would see in spring, but certainly lot more than you would find in the pacific northwest.
After grabbing a burger at Bubba's Burgers we headed over to the beach to check out how big the waves were. Quite intimidating. Swells were are close to 12 feet near the shore. At the reef about 200 yards away the swells were closer to 20 feet. No swimming for us tonight.
First gecko we spotted. Of course we had to grab a picture.
Be sure to check out the rest of our pictures from out arrival day on Kauai.
