Casa Lynn at San Felipe

-

We took up residence in our Casa yesterday and it is really nice. The weather here in San Filipe is not as warm as Hawaii, its cooler, cloudy today and windy, but at least no humidity that was quite prevalent in Hawaii. We have done some grocery shopping and bought water so we are good for the next little while at least.

This Casa has one main level with kitchen on one wing, living room in middle area and two bedrooms, two bathrooms at the other wing. Closed garage to park the car and a rooftop sitting area (last photo is view from that area). We are basically in a desert area with lots of cactus, sand and more sand.

I can only post five photos at a time so will go to another post to show you some new friends.

Kauai Hawaii

Have you ever wondered which Island people are referring to when they say they are going to Hawaii?  Me too.  Turns out "The Big Island" is actually Hawaii, but because it is the largest in the archipelago, they (in the archipelago) are referred to as the Hawaiian Islands.  Currently my friend Val (who met me in Honolulu upon my return from Australia) and I are on the oldest island in the chain, Kauai.  It rains here more than the other islands, and is therefore known as the Garden Isle.  So green, lush and beautiful.   We are right beside the ocean in a condo for a couple weeks and the sound of the ever rolling surf, the tall waving palm tree outside our door, the sun and birds of many varieties, including the islands feral chickens and roosters.  The chickens  are a master class in introduced animals.  Thousands of feral chickens roam the island with no natural predators. Go to this website for info on how these chickens came to...

It is Thursday of our first week here in Kailua Kona on Big Island, Hawaii.  The plan for today was to drive out to the Queens Market at Waikaloa to find the 'Crocs' footwear store.  Personally, I'm not a big fan of the clunky looking ones that are popular today so in the clearance section I did find a pair of the 'Z' ones I like for $29.00 so I'm happy.  Even Barb found a pair of black sandals as well.   Once we left there, I drove us up to Hamakauas Macadamia Nut Company in Kawaihae.  I'd been a few times prior with other friends and family.  It has changed a bit inside but they still provided samples of all the different flavours of coatings on the nuts so you can purchase the canned flavours you like.  We liked a few!  Hey!  You can even get spam flavoured ones!! We watched a video of the process from tree to package.  The factory wasn't working inside today to watch so perhaps it's off season for macs?  At any rate we sat and a...

Universal at Orlando

Monday, March 27th was travel day. We arrived at our rental house in the dark and quickly sorted out the six bedrooms! Tuesday morning arrived....late morning, as we were all exhausted after our 3 am morning call to get to our respective airports for 4! We mainly spent the day shopping for food and getting unpacked and organized. Wednesday, yesterday, we were up and out the door just before 8 and headed to Universal. What a great fun day. Basically we did the rides throughout the park, although the "Hulk" roller coaster was not on my agenda, my granddaughter Cass, who is 11 loved it and would have gone again! The two boys, Jared and Jacob went off on their own for a bit, but we all met for late lunch at two, then again for 7:30 when it was time to leave. The rides were awesome, the 3D. Effects with the glasses brought the video to life! In King Kong, you actually felt like the T Rex was coming right into your face and the gigantic gorilla....you could almost feel h...
