Leaving Honolulu 😢

Me. Packed last night. Krystal, Kasey, Randy and Liz…..today at 9:10am still packing 😂. Leaving at 10am.

I squeezed my stuff in my suitcase and carry-on but there is no way I will be able to do it for the flight home. My bag weighed 39 lbs. The limit is 50 lbs. so I was good there but nothing else is going to fit.

Landed after a twenty minute flight. They served us free juice lol. Found the baggage claim area. It’s a super small airport. Made it to the car rental place. I got a two door Jeep Wrangler. Manual key, locks and windows lol. Barbaric 😂 and it’s white. Like all the other rentals. How will I find it in the parking lot? I took a picture of the license plate lol. The temperature reads in Celsius. It says 32 degrees. Isn’t that 100 degrees Fahrenheit? I don’t know. Its super hot and humid. It kind of reminds me of Rio.

Kauai Shores Hotel.

Booked through Costco Travel. Hotel and rental car included. I upgraded my room to overlook the pool so after the resort fee and the upgrade it was an additional $300. That’s still not bad. My room is average. I’m not staying at a four star hotel lol. Two queen beds, air conditioning, fridge, coffee maker, nice TV and balcony. There are free bicycle rentals and yoga on the beach.

Looked at Maps. Safeway is right down the road. Decided to get some food for breakfast and lunches. Omg. It was bumper to bumper all the way there. It’s not at all like Honolulu. These are rural roads I am driving on. Like highway 99. And it’s 330 in the afternoon.

I got a bunch of healthy stuff. Yogurt, bananas, hard boiled eggs, meat and cheese, water and granola.

And so it begins. Fox party of one at the Lava Lava Beach Club restaurant. Strange looks. Really? You want to sit at a table by yourself and not at the the bar? She seated me all the way at the end of the building. Lol. Well at least I am facing out so I can practice people watching.

I’m starving. I want a cheeseburger. I know. I could get one of those at home lol. I’m just not very adventurous when it comes to food. I don’t want to order something and then hate it after the first bite. The restaurant is right on the beach. Maybe fifty feet to the water. Toes in the sand and live music. Very relaxing.
