Be It Ever So Chilly, There's No Place Like Home

All good things must come to an end: and so it is with vacations to tropical islands. It was with mixed feelings that we left the Garden Isle of Kauai. We were both tired of dodging the rain storms while trying to get in some sunny beach time and we were missing our dogs, but there were adventures still to have, sights left to see...and Mai Tai's left to drink (though not many!).

Our flight was a red-eye that left Lihue airport at 10:30pm, but we were both so tired that we managed to sleep through most of the trip, which seemed like 2 hours instead of 6. Our luck continued and we made a connection home much earlier than we had been scheduled to, so we got in at noon instead of after 1 am. We crashed for five hours more sleep and then were ready to start slipping back into the old routines...such as buying groceries for dinner. Here's one intrepid individual returning from a successful foraging mission, in the midst of harsh elements.


Despite the disgusting white slop that was pelting down from the sky, we were glad to be home...but it would only be a matter of time before our thoughts would begin to turn toward our next expedition: the Search for the Ultimate Pina Colada on the British Virgin Islands! :o))
