Large doses of Oxycodone ;-). hehe. I'm recovering from surgery--which is why I couldn't get back sooner. But it mustn't be too far away because I just received the notice that the balance is due in a few weeks for the condos reserved for my wedding!

louistraveler, we'll be there at the same time! The beginning of my trip will be teaching at the Kauai Music Festival (www.kauaimusicfestival.com). If you're a music lover, the concerts are awesome -- and open to the public. It'll be at the Marriott Courtyard near Kapa'a this year. One night is all Hawaiian music and I've heard some incredible artists there, but I don't think they've announced the lineup yet. It would be great to say "hello!" I'll arrive the night of July 27th.

Songdoc, I can't believe after all this time we will finally be there at the same time!

You move to Princeville the day after I leave. When you arrive on the 27th, where will you be staying...the Marriott where the festival is held?

The night of all Hawaiian music sounds fun! We will have to see what our week is like. I don't know how busy the festival keeps you but perhaps we can say "hi" outside of the festival.

We should find time since this is a rare occurrence...!

We have 81 days to figure it out!!!

One mo' day then it's "got my toes in the water, arse in the sand-not a care in the world, a cold beer in my hand...life is good today..life is good."

Oh...and an 8 mile walk. Pray for me and my already aching feet.

Alohaaaa....not as real as The CocoCost area IMHO.
Lotta "little boxes, little boxes and they're all made outta ticky tacky....".

The Wyndham Bali Hi condos were very nice but....no real ocean noise.

BTW....if anyone wants some REAL good exercise on their next Kauai vscay come over for this event: http://www.hanaleicanoeclub.org/pages/haena_run.php

AMAZING scenery when you get out to Haena/Ke'e Beach at 0ark 30!
I finished the 8 mile walk in 2:05 and The Lovely Mrs Kal ran it in 1:22.
A VERY GOOD TIME was had by all!

Coming home tomorrow <booooo> but scored exit rows in HI. <yeaaaaaa>

We're -7 days. Spent 10 days on the Big Island in both Hilo (actually Honomu - north of Hilo) and Kohala Coast. Lovely relaxing vacation

Sorry weke.....Princeville was too far away from everything especially the pie lady and by time we moved back to the Islander, we were still too beat from the 8 Miler.

This was just a quickie trip....we'll hit them up in Dec/Jan.
