After all of the excitement of Day 3, today was a bit more
low-key. :)
It is raining off-and-on tonight as I type this from our balcony, nowhere near the rain they have been getting back home in Southern California though. Kind of glad we aren’t there to experience it, and in a way I’m also disappointed that we aren’t there. Jen was with me for a short while tonight, but retired early. Despite being low-key today was quite tiring, and we have a busy morning tomorrow…
I took a different camera with me this morning as I got a cup of coffee from the reception desk and walked out to capture today’s sunrise. The cloud cover was thicker today, so there wasn’t as much to see. I was glad I didn’t wake Shannon to accompany me; she really wants to see the sunrise before we go back home. I don’t think the pictures came out as well as the ones I’ve been taking with my Lumia Icon cellphone, so I’ll return to using it tomorrow.
Despite the peacefulness here I am still only sleeping 4.5 – 5 hours a night. Those who know me well know I have sleep disorders, and my daily schedule which includes 4-5 hours of commute time to/from work a day, does not have enough time to sleep as much as I should. I had hoped the relaxed schedule here would provide me with the opportunity to sleep more but so far that hasn’t been the case.
This morning we started off at the Church at Koala, the church that the Pastor who performed our ceremony presides over. As awesome as his ceremony was yesterday, his sermon today was equally good. Even Shannon liked it, she told me “I wish we had this church in Long Beach.” From there we stayed down south to see the “Spouting Horn”, where the water runs under a series of rocks and shoots high into the air. Quite impressive, actually. On the way down we drove through the “Tunnel of Trees”, a section of the highway that is covered by tall trees that hang over the roadway above – trust me I’m not doing it justice here as it is quite a sight to see.

After that we returned to our resort and changed clothes and
spend the rest of the afternoon at the same beach we visited earlier. We rented a couple of boogie boards and had
a great time, I even got to ride one for a while. Lol
Daniel cut his foot on something, and we ended up returning to the
resort sooner than planned, he stayed up in the room as the rest of us spent a
couple hours down by the pool. We tried
the Mai Tai from the poolside bar and were not impressed.
OK, what is the deal with Mai Tai’s in Hawaii??? We have yet to find one what we really like, and to be honest the best one we have had was one we made at home with a simple recipe we found online (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mai-Tai/). Maybe everyone is trying to outdo one another rather than focusing on the final result...
