Today we started our long anticipated trip back to Kauai for a 10 day vacation. You have to endure a little punishment before you get to the pleasure, and our was a 6:00 AM flight to San Francisco. Thankfully the flights all went well and we even got to see a good movie on the way to Hawaii. In fact, I can now cross Crazy Heart off my must see Oscar list. I am sure we missed out on a lot of cursing, but it was still a very powerful movie and Jeff Bridges deserved his best actor award. I still can't get that song, Feels like Flying out of my head.
The Lihue airport in Kauai is a treat, it is easy to navigate and gets people in and out fast. We got our Ford Focus and were on the road north in less than 30 minutes. We had booked a condo in the same place we stayed at two years ago, the Hanalei Bay Resort, except this time we got a little bigger place. Prices have come down a little in Hawaii as this place is less than the place we got last time and quite a bit nicer. I was a great view of the mountain and you can see the ocean too.
We started the eating extravaganza with lunch at the well reviewed Scotty's BBQ, where they have a very good pulled pork sandwich. They also have great views of the ocean from every seat. We ate there last time we were here and it is still as good.
After lunch we went down to the beach and Barbara went snorkeling although it was a little rough and hard to see any fish. We had our first and probably last drink at the bar down by the beach, as a Mai Thai was $15! Still the view is worth it. We had an early night, pacing ourselves.
