Plane ride was fantastic, I highly recommend it. I may have had a problem with
Being cramped in a helicopter. This was great, I got to sit in the co-pilot seat.
I'll post some pictures when I download them.

Here's us boarding the plane. Only 4 of us on this flight.:D

Beautiful morning for our plane tour, we'll be leaving shortly. Charged my
Camera up last night.:D Afterward we have to stop at the Verizon store, DW
Bought data for her IPad before we left and she just ran out. When she bought
The time she had to call in because she couldn't sign in and she still can't.
She's tired of dealing with them on the phone so she's going to have them try
To fix it.:mad:

We have had multiple flat tires, low tires, and dead batteries in Hawaii. I don't know if it's maintenance or what.

This time he said he gave us their newest car. It has 9,000 miles on it. Maybe
We ran something over.:shrug:

We've been lucky and have never had issues, this is the first time. Last car was
A low end Chevy Impala that was pretty cheap but it worked fine. I actually
Thought the Compass would be fun to drive on Kauai and so far I was right. It's
Not too big and not too small.

I'm waiting while DW is meeting with the Verizon guy now. We'll see how long
This takes.:D

The got her data going but they didn't totally correct her issue, we'll have to
Wait until we get back but at least she can get online.

Here's the new wheels. Just like mine at home but mines white.:D

My pictures of the airplane tour must be too big. I keep getting an error
Message when I try to upload them. I try to make them smaller when I get
Home.

Had some Portuguese Sausage Spam and eggs for breakfast. DW love it.
We're going to go to the Kauai Museum today and do some more driving around.
Who knows where we'll end up.:D

When did you start having to ask for a key to the restroom at the Harbor Mall?
We didn't have to in October. Must have had some issues with people hanging
Around. I still say Tony's pizza there is one of the best cheap eats at least for
Pizza on Kauai. $2.50 slices of pepperoni.:D It's really good too.

Did some last minute shopping today, Lihue, Poipu, Kapaa. We packed up our
Tote to drop off tomorrow. DW has one more spa time before we leave late
Tomorrow. One good thing about leaving later is I can pack the day we leave and
Not the night before. We have the unit until Wednesday so we'll still have a
Home base and we won't be homeless for half a day.

We'll still probably make one more trip up north before we head out. Last day
Will be like most of our trip, lots of time and not many plans. This trip was
Really relaxing.:D:cool:

Another beautiful morning. We haven't had any rain at least for where we were
On the island in the last four days. Most of the rain we had gotten earlier were
Just the 5 minute variety but heavy a few times.

Just finishing laundry then we're headed to Lihue to drop off the tote. We only
Have it 2/3 full now and I don't see us adding much more. We did notice the
Totes at Walmart while we were there and they are $19.88 and I think that was
The same price we paid a few years ago. We could definitely do just a carry on
Now but we get free checked bags and always bring stuff home so I don't see
That happening but boy it lightens the load and it makes packing so much easier
And faster.

Probably do one more drive up north and relax a little by the pool. I know I
Haven't done much relaxing.:D:cool:

The tote and DW needs to go to Walmart one more time.:rolleyes:

One of our favorite lunch spots. And the glass gallery down on the street has some amazing jewelry for gifting. Your wife has been very patient with you this trip. Just sayin'. ;)

Good man! Every time we go to Kauai we get something from that place. Beautiful stuff, and a lot of the women in my life now own something from there. :)

I know I'll be going there every year now.:D

We did finally have to come home. Got home late yesterday afternoon after
A long night of traveling. We had a great time on this trip. DW always has a
Hard time leaving.

We go to Vegas with my son in 50 days so I'll have more stories them.:D

Looks like she has them sized alright. So here are a few more from my
Plane Tour. You should be seeing some familiar sights.

On this one you can see DW's GoPro camera attached by the wing. It worked
Great. She had it set to take a picture every 10 seconds.

My wife is working on that. The GoPro worked great and took a lot of shots
In an hour. I have a few more I'll put on here.
