End of day #4. And would you all shoot me if I said, “I’m cold!?” We just got back from our evening out and it is cool and rainy (66 degrees I believe) and I am COLD! Okay, I’ll get no sympathy from this crowd. Especially those in Maryland who I hear are expecting SNOW on Tuesday.
We’ve had another nice day though the pace of today was a bit different. Craig “worked” today so he was on conference calls from 5 a.m. til after noon. So we were all on our own for breakfast. I spent most of the morning with severe abdominal pains after taking my antibiotic on an empty stomach (like I’m supposed to but I’ve learned I can’t take it!) I felt better by later in the morning so I headed out on my own to get a much needed pedicure. It was wonderful and relaxing and my toes are a nice shade of pink with white plumaria flowers painted on the big toe nails. Then I walked around the mall – there was a Sears and a Macys but not much else. And then onto Subway; my turn to pick up lunch.
We had our traditional lunch outside in the covered area by the pool. Then to the lounge chairs and pool for the 3 of us and Doris to the balcony in the room to read. Actually, I went off on my own to find a shady spot – I am feeling a little overdone by the sun already. But by late afternoon it was clear a storm was moving in and not just a passing shower. We made it inside in time before the heavens opened. Wow – what a rain! And it is still coming down hours later.
Craig and I headed out to turn in our rental car and trade it in for something “better.” We got a Cadillac now and all report it is much more comfy than the Buick we had before. We asked around for dinner recommendations and got a few. So back to the Marriott to pick up John & Doris. Then we headed up to Kapa’a – about 15 minutes north of where we are. Dinner was wonderful – let us tell you about Wahooo!
Wahooo (yes, 3 o’s) is a seafood restaurant and came highly recommended. It was a great find. They had several entrée’s in the $15-$20 range and the portions were very generous. I wish I had my camera with me to take a picture of the plate presentations. Doris and her grilled salmon salad contained the biggest mound of greens you have ever seen. John has a seafood platter, Craig had sea-bass and I had a petite sirloin steak. We were all very happy with our choices. We thought about some after dinner shopping but honestly, it is too cold and rainy to be out and about so we came back to the room and are currently watching TV. Oh my, Craig just announced that there is a flood advisory for our area!!
Craig and I will probably finish the evening with “Lost.” We have never watched this series and it comes so highly recommended by several friends we figure there must be something to it. Our PC friends the Hansens lent us Season 1 & 2 for our trip so we could see if we like it. Wow – it’s intense, that’s for sure. I’m not sure I’d suggest it to others who are FLYING long distances over TROPICAL lands but hey, it is entertaining!
Sorry but I don’t have any pictures of the actual island yet but that should change after tomorrow; we hope to go out and about for the day!
