Kauai, Day 1

Up and at them early in the morning!  We made it to our flight with no problems and headed to San Diego.  The Seattle to San Diego flight wasn't bad at all.  Switched planes and then headed on one of the longest flights ever!  Just when you think you can't sit anymore...you have to sit more. 

We landed in Kauai, the airport is about the size of the Omaha airport, so it didn't take long to get our bag and head to the rental car place.  We had rented the car with our flights.  Ryan and Colleen weren't landing for about two hours, so we grabbed our car and headed to K-Mart.

Ryan had worn his Adidas sandals, well it turns out the little nubs on the bottom of them aren't really massaging and he was walking like an old man.  And he was puffy from the long flight. :P  Our task at K-Mart was to find him cheap flip flops that were comfy for the rest of our trip.  He picked out a bright green pair which were not going to match when we were dressing up, so I made him buy an all black pair too that weren't quite as comfy as the green ones but more comfy than the Adidas ones.

We also went to a grocery store to buy some stuff for breakfast...18 eggs, 20 waffles, 10 yogurts, syrup.  We also grabbed some chips and salsa and Dr. Pepper.  Then back to the airport (5 minutes away) to get Ryan and Colleen.

After picking them up, we headed to Costco so they could get a few things, and then on to Princeville to find our condo.

We stayed at a VRBO in Princeville, located near the St. Regis Resort in Princeville.  The condo was pretty awesome. Two bedrooms downstairs.  Ryan and Colleen had the master room with their own bathroom, and Ryan and I had the guest room.  We used the main bathroom.  Both rooms had doors that went outside to a deck.  Upstairs there was a kitchen, half bath, living room, and another deck.

The view from the decks were pretty great.  We could see a Golf Course, Hanalei Bay, and the Mountains!  A short walk across the street had us looking at a beautiful view of the ocean.

Because of flying all day, we didn't do much on our first day.  We headed into Hanalei Bay to find some dinner.  We ended up at Bubba's Burger where Colleen ordered a chili dog...  My Ryan had a teriyaki burger, which was different.  I'm still not sure how I feel about it but he loved it
