The Island of Discovery

Kauai!

We've now been on the island of Kauai for 4 days. It's been wonderful, and Brook and I have quickly grown more appreciative of this beautiful place. It was rough coming to a populated island after spending time on Molokai, but now that we've had a chance to see the island and explore some of what there is to see, we're quite happy with Kauai.

In the last several days, Brook and I have hiked one of the trails of the Waimea Canyon (it was really muddy, but such a fun climb!), been swimming multiple times, went to a time share presentation (for which we have been rewarded with a discounted kayaking trip...go us!), and have been snorkeling twice. Our friend Ricky, who grew up here, arrived today, and we spent this afternoon swimming with him and having dinner with him and his mom. It's great that Ricky is here, as he's going to be a tour guide for us over the next couple of days, taking us on adventures around the island. I'm sure our experiences will end up on this blog soon (Ricky seems to have big plans for us).

Either Brook or I will update here again soon, internet access permitting. I wish that it was possible to include all of the details of our trip, but it would take too much time away from the island that surrounds us. :-) So, you will all have to satisfy yourselves with the pictures and brief updates that we supply.

Aloha!
