Hawaii

Sorry it has taken me so long to post about our adventures in Hawaii. Work was long and difficult this week and I didn't feel up to writing.

We left for vacation on a Saturday. We stopped over in Vancouver, WA to stay the night with my sister. They also went to Hawaii with us, so we all had the same flight over and actually got to sit together. The flight to Vancouver was almost 5 hours and on Sunday morning we boarded another plane for a 6 hour flight to Oahu where we had to catch another flight to Kauai. Our flight out of Portland left late, so we missed our connecting flight Honolulu. We were lucky that we heard an announcement regarding our missed connection and we ran to jump on another flight to Kauai. Of course, our luggage didn't make the plane, but they have flights over to Kauai about every 45 minutes. It made it on the next flight and we waited for it. By the time the boys got the rental car, my sis & I had secured our luggage. We stayed in Princeville which is almost an hour drive north of the airport. The island isn't that big, but there is only one main road, so traffic gets ugly.

We were in Kauai for 8 days. We saw lots of sun and rain. It rained everyday, like it does in Florida. We had a very relaxing time, which is why my DH and I went. More to post later.
