Kauai: Day 2

Since we mostly were in the air yesterday, this is our "actual" first day.
Keith called last night to tell us there is going to be a firing of 2 test missiles tonight up on the west side of the island at the missile range. So tonight we will go there and then take a picnic up to Palihale beach for sunset. Wow.. a missile firing...I just love doing out-of-the-ordinary things when we are here. The concierge at the condo didn't even know about this one! I'll post some pictures later.

This morning we went to the Orientation meeting-free coffee and donuts-uh-oh, the donut was not raw! Oh dear. I won the drawing for a free surfing lesson. That will be interesting!

We are waiting for Joy to get here so we can go snorkeling. She is about 10 miles away from us at Kahili in a cabin- inland.

We are off to Poipu for some snorkeling.

Kauai: First Stop


Well, here we are, back in our favorite spot, Kauai! I am going to try to do a daily blog, but, no promises! Of course, our first adventure is in our other favorite spot, Costco! We have to browse the store and see all the neat, weird fish-items that we don't have in Woodland. I didn't get the seaweed salad this time. But there is a nice tub of cut-up papaya and the Kauai coffee to buy.
The weather is warm and overcast, with rain off-and-on during the day.
Joy, our sister-in-law, met us at the airport with beautiful leis. She has been here for 5 days by herself. She is practically a native!
Joy and I are going to try to eat just raw food...we'll see how long I last.
