Good Morning Kaua’i!

Ok, so it’s already afternoon for those of you back on the east coast, but the day is just getting started here… Sunrise in about a half hour or so…

The radio is talking about hazy conditions today, and saying that the “Kona winds” are the cause, so it is actually VOG (volcanic fog). Must be there is some serious volcanic activity on the big island right now.

Would look it up on the web, but the SideKick has limited service inside the hotel (in and out), wireless on the laptop is very poor, and I just found out my ethernet port is not functioning!!! Hopefully someone makes a cheap USB to Ethernet adapter so I can get high speed access on O’ahu, as Turtle bay does not have very good wireless either, but that will be Thursday.

For now, I can live with the poor wireless when I sit out on the lanai. Time to today under way….

Checked in to the Hilton Kaua’i Beach Resort

We are all settled into the hotel for the next 4 days. Our room is ground level, with a patio and view out to the pool area.

Now we are going to just relax for a bit then go to dinner here at the resort for Marianne’s birthday.

Safely on the ground in Kaua’i!

We have landed safely in Kaua’i, and are waiting to get out of the back of the plane… 80% of the passengers are ahead of us….
