Kauai Trip Log – 2010

It was getting into May and the conversation went something like this. “If we don’t do something soon, we’re going to manage to miss the summer without taking a vacation”. It wouldn’t be the first time. We had been talking about going to Florida — Miami and the Keys. But summer didn’t seem like the right time of year for Florida. Plus the BP oil spill was starting to come ashore. So we turned our eyes westward. What about Hawaii? We had been to Maui the year after Daniel was born. And the Big Island in 2006. So what about Kauai?

Okay, but we know nothing about it. So we hit the Internet and a few hours later we had a condo in Poipu, a car and plane reservations. Who says we can’t move fast when we want to?

We didn’t get a lot of time to anticipate the trip, but then again we didn’t spend a lot of time worrying about it either. We got our friend Les to take care of the kitties and packed up what available t-shirts, shorts and sandals we had, plus a pile of photo gear and off we went.  But not before Marion had a misstep and managed to sprain her ankle a few days before we left.

If you want to see where everything is, here’s a map of Kauai and some of the places we visited.
