After almost 20 hours of travel time, we reached Kauai at last.
Day 1 was like this:
- 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.
