It doesn't even seem real now, now that my body is getting back to Utah time, my ankles are no longer swollen from the red eye flight, the sand is no longer in my hair and the reality of going back to "real" life is sinking in. However, I have the pictures to prove that I really did go and I really was there.
IT WAS FREAKIN AWESOME! I'm so greatful that Cathy invited me to go with her and Jennifer to Kauai. Its my favorite island (ok so its the only one I've been to). We stayed up on the north shore and it was so green and so pretty. AND whoever invented the ocean gets two thumbs up from me. When I went to visit Jamie in CA I took a dip in the ocean but it was night and dark and cold, so I didn't really swim. Kauai was my first time to really swim in the ocean. I'm a big fan of water in general, but this took the cake for me.
So now I'm debating on if I should just post the highlights, or do the gory details. I'm sure none of you really care, and would probably be very bored with 5 days of posting on the subject.... but this blog is more for me, and I'd like to record the trip because it was so great. Who know if I'll get another chance to go, I hope so because there are still things I'd like to do and see over there....
I had so much to do before leaving, including bringing in garden veggies:
I didn't get everything done, but one thing that was important was to make sure I had pretty toes as I knew I was headed to paradise and pretty toes are imperative. Good thing my priorities are so well adjusted, huh?!
The nails have little flowers on them. They don't look like that anymore... sand, ocean, and such takes a tole on cheap nail polish and applicays...
The flight was long but not too bad as I was pretty excited. Even the airport was cool.
We did food shopping for the week, ate at Hamura's Saimin (oh yum! could eat that everyday)
and drove off to the North Shore where we stayed at the Cliffs. This is a quieter Island and the Northern part of it is even quieter and less populated. To me that was perfect. Even though I was very excited to be there, due to the time change i was also very tired so no real exploring until the next day.... Aloha and Mahalo for your patience.
