Oh my, can I just say how much it SUCKS being back home? I am so grateful that we made it home safely, of course. But I cannot help but wish we were still on that beautiful island of Kauai, driving not faster than 50 mph with the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. I already long for the open spaces and bright skies and crashing waves and warm nights.
Alas.
The whole week in Kauai was lovely. I really enjoyed myself. I love the island! I want to go back! And perhaps we’ll go back again soon. 😉
Yesterday was our traveling day and I would not like to repeat such a day. The scariest moment was two hours into our second flight (the one landing in Oakland). We were having drinks when the airplane hit an air pocket and we dropped hard. It was the freakin’ most scariest thing I have ever experienced. I was just glad that those little oxygen masks didn’t fly out from above. If that had happened, I would have totally freaked. As it was, I just minimally freaked. I also got a nice mix of Coke and water doused on my shirt.
I was so glad when we landed safely in Oakland.
Then we got to the car and what greeted us? A freakin’ flat tire. We had to wait for AAA to change the tire and we had to drive home on a little donut tire, not going more than 65 mph. From Oakland to Salida. It was a LONG drive.
I will give you all the lovely Kauai details when I’m back at home doing laundry. 😉 Right now I’m at the Husband’s workplace.
Until later…
