Goodbye to Kauai

We are heading home. Started our last day with our morning walk after the rains had almost stopped. 

The geckos come out for sun and if you are careful you can get pretty close to see one. Yellow Bunny did her best not to scare one away.

Norm and I then headed out after breakfast along the shore past the Marriott, the Plantation and many other vacation rental homes--are you interested in a nice one just across the road from the ocean, sleeps eight and just $6,000 a week? We ended up at the high end shopping plaza, Kukuiolani, designed for those high-end tourists. Quick coffee and Danish for Norm before heading back. One last stop for the famous Puka Dog with lemonade. So yummy! Maybe an idea for Metchosin Day?? Before packing we had a dip in the refreshing (cool) pool. Heather and Brad drove us to the Lihue airport for our 6:30, now delayed flight to Honolulu. Waiting at the airport means patience! 

We are now in San Francisco. Really nice all night flight that got in 30 minutes early, tail wind? Not a lot to do at 4:30am so we had breakfast. Norm says it's a three-New-York-Times day, as he picked up a day old one in Kauai, then the Thursday paper in Honolulu and Friday's latest in SF, all in 12 hours.

The holiday has been great. A special thanks to Heather and Brad for making the week on Kauai such a good time. The best parts of this holiday -- the warm weather, the fresh fruit, and all the walking. We are now getting ready for the freezing temperatures at home. Yikes! Good thing we packed some woollies.
