Aloha from Kauai!!

Several busy days in the sun have gone by since we arrived here on Saturday evening.... By the time we finally found our place to stay, it was DARK! The instructions we had been sent were rather ambiguous - to say the least! - but we persevered!
Security checks before we left Victoria were very strict, but we came through without having to reliquish anything, so we felt we had done our homework quite thoroughly. Connections were
fine in Honolulu, and in Lihue we picked up our rental car - a PT Cruiser - without problem. The drive up-island was very interesting. The highway follows the coastline most of the way, so we passed a number of beaches, with quite sizeable waves breaking onto the beach, or even some distance out. When we weren't driving along by the ocean, we were making our way through forested areas, with unique Hawaiian trees. The highway wends its way between the ocen and the jagged peaks of the interior Kauai, some peaks being quite bare, while others are covered with foliage of many shades of green.
