HOME AGAIN FROM OUR PARADISE











As I write this, we have now arrived home safely from Hawaii on April 21st. Before I ended our Blog in Hawaii, I wanted to share our last this & that's on our last week in our Paradise.

A week before we left, we decided to spend a few days in Kauai a the Kauai Beach Resort. It was a lovely place. The tradewinds & rain followed us from Honolulu, but we made the best of it anyway.

Just as we remembered, Kauai is a beautiful island. We made the famous Fern Grotto trip up the Wailua River just as did 25 years ago. We also drove to the beautiful Waimea Canyon (the islands Grand Canyon). We drove from one end of the island to the other. It was a great trip.

So I decided to make a list of our lasts: -BYU Teacher Appreciation Dinner
-Last visit to the PCC & one more visit
to the Fiji Village
-2 more times to the Night Show
-Another trip to Ted's Bakery and our
favorite and new beaches
-One more visit to say good bye to the
Big turtles.
-Pack our very large suitcases & clean
our very comfortable apt.
-Took the ocean drive into Waikiki to
once again take in the look-out points
of interest along the way.
-Stayed at the Ilikai Resort Hotel for 2
days to have some more R&R before we
travel home. As if 4 months wasn't
enough. Ted actually got up on a surf
board in the Lagoon.

Our time here together has been so pleasant and fulfilling as volunteers. We certainly hope we can repeat it again sometime. We're happy we found that "Life is Good in Paradise" as it is at home with our family & friends, too. Much Aloha
