Kauai - Day 1

After almost 20 hours of travel time, we reached Kauai at last.

Day 1 was like this:


Beach Girl, originally uploaded by gealouxy.
  • Went to bed to the kid whispering "Mom, I want to go home".
  • Woke up to sounds of the roosters, and to whispers of "Mom, hear that? Chicken!" at 5AM.
  • Pleasant breakfast at Red Salt.
  • Chickens - chics, hens and roosters! - all over the place!
  • Long drive in the Mustang to the north side of the island, as far as the road took us, to Ke'e Beach.
  • Exploring the Maniniholo Dry Cave.
  • Seeing the kid enjoy the beach for the first time at the Ha'ena Beach Park.
  • Lunch at the Hanalei Gourmet.
  • Stops at two farmers market where sampled all sorts of fruits, and bought fresh fruits to snack on - mangoes, coconut, caimitos.
  • Pointing out fruit trees I recognized from growing up in a tropical place.
  • Being able to see my kid enjoy the same fruits I enjoyed when I was a kid.
  • Hanging out at the pool with the kid, enjoying hearing her squeals of delight, which makes the "i want to go home" whispers fade away in a distance.
  • Dinner at Red Salt, again, only this time wasn't as pleasant as breakfast. The kid was exhausted, and wasn't holding back in showing it - screams! whines! - and a DVF top completely ruined.
  • Falling asleep at 10PM. Happy. Content.

On Relationships


There's always tomorrow., originally uploaded by gealouxy.

Keeping a relationship together is like doing the number two: it should never be forced, and should just happen naturally.

Fortunately, when you get constipated, there's over-the-counter laxatives you can get.

Someone should come up with a laxative for relationships. So we can easily flush out people who are weighing us down.
