Did you know that when it is 8 am in Dallas, it is 3 a.m. in Kauai? I do. We all do. There's not much to do at 3 a.m. except lie in bed and hope for sleep to return. It didn't - for any of us. That's OK. Not sleeping in Hawaii is still better than not sleeping in Dallas.
We arrived last night at 7:50 pm local time. To our bodies, it was almost 1 a.m. Kyle slept on the plane. In fact, he slept so well that we had to wake him - the rat. After an hour plus in line for our rental car, we finally made our way to Pono Kai and climbed into bed. And, well, you already know how that turned out.
When it was finally late enough, the kids took a dip in the pool before we headed to the dreaded grocery store. It is painful to walk out with 5 bags at a price of around $40 a pop. Had to be done. Finally, with the work done, we hit the beach - the beach right outside our door. It is beautiful. The keikis (children) got their first taste of boogie boarding. Loved it.
We were exhausted and hoping to sleep better. First, take a peak at the sunset off our Lanai (sounds so much nicer than "patio", doesn't it?). 
Beautiful. Very nice pictures, and story. You are making all your friends jealous.
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess that means we shouldn't call at 8:00 AM Dallas time. I'll try to restrain myself. Ya'll have fun and yes, I am jealous. How come ya'll are in Hawaii having fun while I'm in Dallas trying to get my pool up and going? It's not right!
