Peachy Day

Our entry today has nothing interesting, innovative or fun. All we did was get up, work out, get ready and travel about 2 hours to Atlanta. That's it! No pictures because we did not even get off the car at the downtown where the G.C. is taking place. We did notice that the city is very clean, not see a single hint of graffiti, trash or indigents asking for money at the downtown area. We guess why they have not scheduled the meeting in Los Angeles. Tomorrow we plan on actually attending the meeting that brought us here, AND eating a famous Georgia Peach.

Welcome to the Usual!

Today was a day of "usuals", we got up at 2:00 a.m. to get ready to leave our home at 3:00 a.m. so that we could take our shuttle to the airport so we could arrive on time for our 6:30 a.m. flight (our usual time to depart). Then we flew for what seemed an eternity and finally arrived in Dallas TX for a 3 hour layover (as usual for us). For some reason the flight arrived early and the departing flight to our destination (Birmingham Alabama) departed late, so we ended spending more time at our layover (as Usual). We finally arrived at exactly 5:30 p.m. to a TORRENTIAL, Xtreme, rain storm (as exponentially usual for us!). The rain was so intense that the water was ankle high within a few min. of the downpour. Know what else was usual? We rented a car for the next few days to travel to Atlanta Georgia and guess what we were given? A blue Honda Civic, exactly the same color and style as the one we left back home (another usual, except this one is 7 years newer). We are finally at our hotel (the usual) where we will spend only this night before heading out to Atlanta tomorrow. We will see if we are faced with another day of "usuals"... Have the usual Good Night!

Hours left.

In just eight and a half hours we depart from LAX to Birmingham Alabama and we are not done packing. We are hoping that we do not forget anything as it is a common occurrence in every trip. We just hope it is not anything major this time. Our next entry on this Blog we hope is in Birmingham Alabama, when we arrive at our first stop of our 14 day trip. Good night to all of you, since I know I won't be getting much shut eye tonight. Hasta manana...

One More Week

In just a week we will be in Birmingham Alabama, our first stop before we arrive at our destination of Atlanta GA. This week it's all about packing and running errands so that we can travel and spend 12 days in peace. Looking forward to a great time in the summer humidity of the east coast.

It's getting closer!

It's been close to a month since our last posting. Now we are 3 1/2 weeks from our departure to our next all American vacation. We anxiously await a fun red, white and blue patriotic experience.

Countdown Again...

Once again we start our countdown to our next vacation. This summer we are scheduled to visit a few places we (the adults) have been to before but look forward to nevertheless. We start out in Atlanta Georgia, attending a worldwide gathering, then head out to Washington D.C., from there we drive to New York City and spend a few days there, all that in a 12 day time frame. 6 weeks before we head out to the east coast.

Kayaking Adventure.

On the day before our departure from Kauai, we had the first time experience of Kayaking as a family. The company we chose for our adventure happened to have kayaks that fit 3 people which was perfect for us. What an experience it was! First we kayaked, then we hiked one of the most beautiful places we have ever hiked at, then we ended at the Wailua waterfall. Gorgeous to look at indeed. It was one of those places that you photograph in your brain and never forget. Although the weather changed for the worse on the last 2 days of our stay in Kauai, we were grateful that it wasn't as sunny and hot because we didn't get as sunburned as we could of, even with the sunblock. Alec is still relying on the Aloe for the sunburn on his shoulders, but it could of been worse. Although the worst part was not the sunburn, it was paddling against the wind! We were a little sore...OK a lot! The wind, the threat of rain and the mud along the way on the hike, was all worth it to see the wonderful Wailua fall, an experience we would definitely repeat given the chance.

In the evening we had a wonderful dinner at Casa di Amici in the little town in Poipu, an Italian eatery that our Friend Stephani recommended. Back at the hotel at the Regency Club we enjoyed dessert and the company of our friends that recommended everything about this vacation. One of our best with out a doubt! We are immensely grateful for the recommendation of one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. A truly wonderful unforgettable Hawaiian experience that we look forward to repeating someday again. Mahalo!
