Greetings from Kauai!

I've been on the island of Kauai for two nights. I had the pleasure of spending two weeks here in 2003. The weather is wonderful and the nature is stunning. Yesterday I went swimming at Haena Beach and stumbled upon a school of sea turtles. The best part was that it was completely unplanned and not many people were around! I will be relaxing in Hawaii for 9 days and I'm enjoying every moment of it.

Since I love making lists I thought I'd share my hopes for this adventure:

• Catch a wave
• Kayak down the Wailua River
• Visit glass beach
• Jump into Queens Bath
• Swim with the fish (sea turtles too)
• Take a helicopter ride 
• Read on the beach
• Shower outside
• Nap
• Hike on the Na Pali Coast
• Get lost on purpose
• Make a new friend
• Journal daily
• Eat something new
• Eat where the locals eat
• Get shave ice
• Try night photography on the island (not much light pollution at night). 
• Pass the camera so I get photos of me too!

I took 400+ photos in just a matter of 3 hours yesterday! I will be posting photos when I return so keep your eyes peeled. The fruit is amazing here!
