Another Adventure…Hawaii

October 10, 2012

Today we are doing another packing as we are ready to leave for another adventure. This will be a little different than most of our travels as there is no work involved until we return. We look forward to just relaxing and exploring Kauai together. This is the trip that we had planned last spring following the sadness of John’s mom’s death. We had decided that after the funeral that we needed some time away together but the trip had to be postponed when our son-in-law, Jim, landed in critical care for over a month. Then we spent 30+ days with Kari in the hospital.

Now we are excited to be able to be leaving. At least the two of us in the family are excited about the trip to Kauai but one is not. That is our cat, Ocho, doesn’t feel quite the same way about our leaving. He has been staying by our suitcases with hopes that we will take him with us. No way, Ocho! You don’t get to go this time as it would be impossible to put you in our suitcases and off our Anderson Island and then onto the Hawaiian Islands! Instead, you will just have to enjoy or tolerate the house/cat sitter again. Tough luck, kitty, “no go” to you! By the way, after eating John’s shortcake the other day, you are not on the preferred cat list right now.

We stay at the airport hotel tonight as we have a morning flight. We will be flying first class for the first time to Hawaii with a non-stop flight to Kauai so we will look forward to that luxury.

It is great to have a daughter who is a travel agent. She helped us plan our travels as always and it looks like a great week. Kari has booked us into a hotel that is beach-front in Kapa’a and we have a condo set-up so that will be nice. We have a car reserved so we plan on hiking and exploring this island all week but relaxing whenever we plan on just kicking back.

We may not have email everyday but we will try to write comments when we can. Just check our blog to read about this newest adventure   http://donnamollan.blogspot.com
