Aloha Break

The day after my final final Niwt and I flew to Kauai for a week and a weekend. There was sand and beaches and warm ocean water to be enjoyed.



We kayaked in a National Wildlife Refuge and saw endangered geese. Then we kayaked to the Bay and were pummeled by wind and waves and rain.





When it was sunny we checked out a coffee plantation and when it wasn't sunny we checked out a national garden. It was not sunny a lot so we had to get creative. At least the rain here won't kill you or turn to hail.





The only shells I could find on the beach were tiny. And there weren't many of them. Not what I expected.





We camped on the beach most nights. Right after we set up the tent it started pouring rain. It did that a lot. Overall themes of the trip were: rain, waterfalls, beaches, minor injuries (ripping off large portions of toenails, scraps, cuts, bruises), and fresh fruit. It was fun and I have tan lines on my feet, therefore the trip was sucessful - even if I didn't get to snorkel.
