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...

The best laid plans…

It's always wise to leave with more time than you expect on the islands because traffic is heavy and slow on Ali'i Drive, then we needed to find a parking space as we were catching the noon Glass Bottom boat tour.  Long story short, we parked in the hotel lot, going through the lobby, I tripped on my flip flop and fell down delaying us a bit, we got to the dock and we were told to go stand under the big tent thing, not where we had to be so we missed it.  Barb phoned the guy, sweet talked him into letting us go on the 3:00 pm trip, very kind of him to accommodate us.  Problem was, the Norwegian Spirit of America cruise ship was anchored out and tenders were transferring folks in and out and there were a lot of people, contributing to the mix up!   Once we finished the Glass Bottom boat tour, we walked across the street and had supper on the upper deck of one of the restaurants.  Then returned back to our condo to relax and wrap my arm with ice.  Everything ...

Going Ballistic, maybe

January 12th, 2018 Josh and I woke this morning to our iPhones bzzzzing loudly. Confusing, but then sometimes we have practice announcements. I got up and looked and what do I see but an Emergency Alert, all bold letters….saying….BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. So said to Josh, please get up and check your phone, sure enough he had the same message. My immediate thought was, someone made a mistake, disbelief, then it occurred to us, well, if one is coming it's too late now, so we made coffee to wait, and just enjoy our remaining time in Hawaii! Where would we go? Yes, it was sent out in error! I would imagine whomever pushed that button may not have the opportunity to push another. It frightened a good many people. I later asked some locals where they would go should it ever happen again and was told there is nowhere to go! I mean it's an island, how you going to get off in minutes?
