The Honeymoon So Far. (Sunday Through Tuesday)




Angela and I left Las Vegas Sunday morning for the beautiful island of Kauai. We had a 6 1/2 hour flight that was somewhat miserable. We were stuck in the back row (the Willis section) and there was absolutely no room whatsoever. Angela slept in my lap and her face was pressed against the seat in front of us. When we landed in Lihue the airlines lost our luggage, so we waited for the next flight to arrive which our luggage was on.
Angela and I took a nice drive to Poipu, which is on the south side of the island. For some reason I had it in my mind that we were staying at the Marriott Waiohai Beach Club. When we checked in I found out how stupid I was. We were actually supposed to stay in the Marriott Kalapaki Beach Club which is near the airport. So we drove all the way back to Lihue laughing the whole way. The drive was amazing though so we're not complaining.
Our hotel is a beautiful resort with the largest pool in all of the Hawaiian islands. Angela and I went swimming in the pool on Monday and I got Angela to walk on the beach barefoot. I was very proud of my wife, who isn't comfortable swimming, she got into the pool and swam around without hesitation. My goal is to get her to swim in the ocean, we shall see.
It rained all afternoon on Monday which was a bummer, but it was nice. Angela and I just stayed in and watched a movie. On Tuesday Angela and I ate at Subway and then spent the rest of the afternoon swimming. Tonight we will be going to a Luau where we will eat a lot of food and watch Polynesian dancers.
Stay tuned for more.

Aloha! I'm impressed, you started a blog while on your honeymoon! It looks like you are having a wonderful time. I can't wait to see more pics, hopefully of Angela swimming in the ocean. Did you hear that Grandpa said that she shouldn't though because he thought she'd get swallowed by a whale because she is so small? Yep, that's what he said! So be careful! Will you bring me home a pineapple? Love you two crazy cats in love!
