Kickin' Back on Kauai



This morning I was greeted by a soft rain shower & a rainbow...not a bad way to start the day. Yesterday was a travel day and just flew by. We were all exhausted by 8pm. We landed ~1130 and meandered over to the south shore to the Kiahuna Plantation where we will stay the next 9 days (pic outside our condo below). I thought it was green on Oahu..this island is amazing...and we are on te 'dry' side! Our unit wasn't ready when we arrived so we explored the surroundings...where the pool & tennis courts were, the shopping across the street, the beaches, the huge expanses of green soft grass. This area is definitely more 'touristy' than where we stayed on Oahu's North Shore (and I don't know if I like the 'feel' as much...kids don't seem to mind it). After we checked in, we unloaded all of our crap, then the kids hit the pool while I hit the supermarket (doesn't seem fair, does it?) By the time we reconnected, it was 7 o'clock!! I whipped up a quick dinner of salad and rice and cheese tortillas (notice, no carne ;-), we all rotated through the showers, checked e-mails, and crashed! This is a one bedroom place with a kingsize bed, so wee tried fitting all of us in that last night rather than mess with the pull-out. I think we are going to banish Maddie...even the king wasn't big enough with the way she squirms in her sleep!

Maddie welcomes you to the pool area!


Ok...Maddie just woke up so I better get things rockin'. We are going to explore the south areas of the island today, and probably just enjoy the beach/grassy areas right here when we are done. Aloha for now! Peace.
