Kauai 2008: Day 1

We got into Kauai at about 12:40pm after a miserable flight from SFO. This one’s probably in my top 3 or 4 worst flights of all time. Not because of the service or anything like that, but for the 5 hours of almost continuous light-to-moderate turbulence/chop. A few times it got worse, and the flight attendants were ordered to their seats. I’m a nervous flier to begin with, so I did not enjoy myself.
Anyhow, the weather on our side of Kauai has been lousy today. Windy, cool, and WET — it rained for most of the afternoon and evening. It’s amazing how fast the weather changes here… one second it’s sunny, the next it’s pouring. It’s supposed to be the same tomorrow, but then getting better Thurs-Sunday.
After the link are a few pics that I took around our sprawling condo complex, including some nice sunset shots. Enjoy!

Yes, we DO have bananas! Right outside our room!

I don’t know what these are, but they’re cool. The grounds here are amazing… Kauai in general is so lush.

This picture doesn’t really do this garden justice… those are all orchids growing… I’ll try to go back and take more pics.

Good stuff!
