Wow. That’s about
all I can say about today. Outside of
renewing my wedding vows with Jen today was the most fun we have had the whole
trip. Oh, you’d like me to expand on
that? Ok, I’d be happy to…
The sunrise was awesome as always, but blocked a bit more by cloud cover than previous days. Maybe I’ve become desensitized to it having seen it 5 days in a row? I am still capturing it every morning. Tomorrow I hope to find a spot where I can set my camera in a static position and do a time-lapse series in the exact same spot. Jen says she wants to watch it with me tomorrow. I know Shannon wants to see it too.
I didn’t stay long, as we had to be on the road by 7AM. We scored a couple of 2-for-1 fares for an excursion put on by “Blue Dolphin Charters” and needed to be on the south part of the island by 8am. Not to provide too much info ahead of time – but if you are even in Kauai BOOK A TRIP WITH THIS COMPANY!. Any questions? I am having issues with their website on my Surface Pro, but we had NO issues with their tour and service. Their staff were helpful, funny, and a joy to be with.
We took a catamaran (I’m guessing about 120 feet long) up the western coast. We chose the morning trip as the seas are said to be the calmest and there is a better chance of seeing dolphins. I can’t speak to the former, but the latter was definitely true as we saw a lot of them. I normally get seasick just thinking about being on a boat, today was no problem although I did take one Dramamine before we left. We saw some of the most breathtaking shorelines, cliffs, mountains, waterfalls,…. And even came upon several schools of dolphins! After we turned back we stopped for an hour and were provided with snorkeling equipment so we could take a look at the area ourselves. Unfortunately there were no dolphins there, sometimes there are and that would have been awesome but still there was much to look at. It was the first time I had been snorkeling and it was a blast! The kids had a rough time getting started but once they got going they seemed to enjoy it as well. I wish we had more than 1 hour to spend there as it was awesome! But we had to move on, and they provided lunch for us as we resumed our trip back to dock and arrived about 2:30. We were all tired when we got back and some of us took naps when we got back to the resort. Tonight’s menu consisted of “See Food”, which for us means “You see food in the fridge, warm it up and eat it”. Leftovers is another name for it. LOL Tomorrow I’ll will be making BBQ chicken. :)
We decided to stay home for the evening and relax/recover… then the fun stopped. Our internet went out. I have no idea when I will be able to post this, as I spent an hour on the phone with the 3rd-party company that provides the resorts’ internet service. I spent $50 for unlimited number of devices on a higher-speed network for the week we are here – this is unacceptable!
When I get these posted I will work on the picture site I promised. I really wanted to do that tonight, AND get started on some of the music that I have been working on in my head – but instead I was trying to solve computer problems. Seems like I do that a lot…
