Ocean View

A day away from the office. I spent it taking care of the laundry, giving a digital camera to charity, buying sandwiches for our flight and more.

At 4 pm when I met Chie at the Shinagawa station I was quite tired. But that was very good since I spent most of the flight to Honolulu sleeping.

In Honolulu we were pleasantly surprised by two things. First, we could check in to our room already when we arrived at 10 am. Secondly, for the first time at Waikiki Sand Villa we got an ocean view 😉

We spent half an hour on the balcony before we went out for some serious shopping. There are many things we want to buy that are not available in Tokyo. Like iTunes pre-paid cards, for US iTunes. And Lululemon Athletica.

Honolulu Airport

Sitting in the Delta Sky Lounge at the Honolulu airport waiting for the call to start boarding. Trying to make my iPad download Robin Hood rental movie from iTunes so I have something to watch, but it is slow.

In an hour or so we will have to leave for our boarding.

Last Day in Kauai

Last day in Kauai for this time. We went to our favorite beach, Kiahuna, to play in the waves. Today it was quite big waves and Chie brought the boggy board. I just use my body to surf the waves 🙂

We spent the whole day at Kiahuna beach. Readin. Playing and swimming in the water. Relaxing. But not wishing we could stay longer because that is not the Hawaiian way.

The Hawaiian way is to care about the moment only and not about the future. So we enjoyed the moment, and tomorrow when we have to leave Kauai we start wishing we could stay a little longer.

In the evening we went home to take a quick shower and then we returned to Kiahuna. Where we had dinner at the Point. We had a dinner mainly so we could have nice drinks and not so much for the food that is usually better when we make it ourselves than eating out in US. Chie had a Mai Tai and I had a virgin Lava Flow.

After dinner we filled the tank in the car, $40 made it topped up. Then we tried some alternative routes back from Koloa town to Poipu but without luck so we went the usual way. Once back home it was packing to get ready for our early rise and drive to the airport tomorrow morning.

Another Day at Moloa Bay

Packed our things and turned the head lights of the car to the north in the morning. And drove to the Moloa Bay again, after just a few stops at the post office and at Wal Mart.

We spent the whole day at the Moloa Bay. Doing not much more than we usually do, reading and relaxing and taking a swim once in a while when it got too hot.

Around 5 pm we packed up and turned our head lights south. And drove back home, after a short stop at Big Save to buy groceries for the dinner. Pizza. Yummy.

Oh, and before we got home we just made a very quick stop to watch the sunset 😎

Hawaiian Monk Seal

We were lazy today and just went to the (almost) closest beach, Poipu. In a way that was lucky because we had a chance to see a Hawaiian Monk Seal. Of course we’ve seen one before but they are so cute 🙂

We stayed at Poipu beach the whole day, though it was really hot today. So quite a lot of the time we spent in the water.

When we were not in the water we sat in our chairs reading. Drinking water and SoBe. Eating edamame (soy beans) and having fun.

In the evening we were exhausted. We did quite a lot of swimming today. And it was hot hot hot 😎
