Consistency on Kaua'i

My primary concern these days is applying sunblock. My secondary concern is deciding upon which flavor of shaved ice I want each day.

Life in Kaua'i has an element of Groundhog Day to it. Lots of sameness. Same weather, same temperatures, similar activities. Very relaxing.

  • Wake up early (6:30-ish), as I'm still not fully adjusted to the time zone.
  • Our condo is on a golf course, and the sprinklers go off shortly thereafter.
  • Brew some delicious local coffee and eat a bagel or some toasted bread with guava jam.
  • Begin motivating, don a t-shirt and shorts.
  • Head out to some activity (yesterday was a hike Kalalau Trail for some incredible views of Wainiha Bay and the Pacific Ocean).
  • Find lunch somewhere, sitting outside watching the roosters strut around.
  • Head to the beach.
  • Throw football around in the water for an hour.
  • Tan a bit longer (or in Mike's case, turn pink).
  • Head out, stopping by the shaved ice place.
  • Back to the condo, shower, frozen margarita, relax a bit.
  • Head to dinner, probably in Hanalei, maybe in Kapa'a.
  • Back to condo, exhausted, crash around 9:30pm.

Our plan is to shake it up a bit by visiting a few different beaches and restaurants, but the basic framework is similar. Definitely lots of losing track of time and date, which is excellent.

Gosh!! Everything looks so nice out there, just like the paradise! I definitely will consider to visit Hawaii in the future! Everyone in the pic got beautiful smiles and the middle one does look more pink & red than tan... (hope he doesn't get roasted alive in that strong sun light)
