ALOHA!!





We are back from our cruise around the Hawaiian islands. It was a good week. We did have some problems with the coolness of the cabin but it wasn't too bad at night. During the day we could go to other parts of the ship to stay cool or we would be on an excursion to some place on one of the islands.

The first island we went to was Kauai. We took a trip to see Wailua River to see the Fern Grotto. We stopped first at Opaekaa Falls and then we went to the River. It was a pleasant drive and we were able to see parts of Kauai. What was funny was the driver telling us about a KFC. You see they have wild chickens that roam around and yet none of the chickens want to hang around their KFC. Hmmm, I hope they are not using these chickens! (they aren't) The first picture has a shot of one of the chickens but at the last minute it put it's head down. It now looks like a headless bird. Oh well, I tried. These chickens are all over the island and run free. There was also a place that raised fighting roosters. Thank goodness we didn't have to see them fight or were fighting. The bus driver just stated that this was just the way of the Hawaiians and this should not be stopped because someone didn't like it. Do you think he was trying to get us on his side? More to follow

Welcome back!! The pictures are amazing. It sounds like you two had a great time. I am surprised you didn't feature your "butterfly" picture (wink wink). Guess I will just have to wait and see it this Thursday :o)

Love you
