Kauai, a mid trip report


Tiff and I were originally planning a Fall Desolation canyon trip with the boys and the dog. That fell through so we decided to take a shot at coming to Kauai. With free flight and free housing (Thanks Nic and Heidi) we figured it was a vacation within our budget(0.00$ otherwise known as free.99$) So after a hellacious time trying to catch a flight to LAX so we could get on the flight to Lihue, we had to split up, with Noah and I coming on the first flight and Noah riding in the only open seat on the plane and me in the cockpit jumpseat. Then by some miracle Tiff and Max were able to hop on another later flight then we all got on the flight here. So now we're here and we don't wanna come home.

About 15 minutes after we got here we were in the water at Kalapaki? beach


Moose Man jumping off the pier at Hanalei.

Noah and I snorkeling in Poipu. He loved it and I love that he loved it.

Alrighty then, that ought to be enough to make most of you a little jealous, there will be more to come fo sho.

OH MY GOSH. I love the pics. Maxie jumping off the pier and The Bug snorkeling. That is wonderful. Just wish we were there with you. Ummmm, the part about you not wanting to come home. You can stay, but the kids are coming home. I miss them too much. Have fun and we will see you soon.

I am offically offended. We get uninvited on Deso and then you do a sneak run to Kaui!?
