Aloha and farewell....

Well, Thursday we saw some sun, so we hightailed it to the beach in Kapa'a, but wouldn't you know it, the winds everywhere on the island were so high that we just ended up getting "exfoliated" (more like sandblasted), so we gave up "laying out" on the beach and decided to shake the sand out of our ears and walk around through the town instead...

We did manage to finish the kitty puzzle during our seclusion during the storms...

And we were treated to beautiful, momentarily rain free, sunset from our lanai during our final night...

I'd still do it all again even with the uncooperative weather, rather than to not have come at all.... and i think we did a good job making lemonade out of lemons, aside from a brief meltdown i had on friday after we were rained in again for the day...  i defintely had anticipated being alot more active on this trip (snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, more hiking...) but i'm still happy with what we did and feel grateful it wasn't worse... this vacay is going in the WIN column...  now, packing for the red-eye home!!  can't wait to snuggle my kitties and see everyone!
