I have several topics that I want to blog about our vacation in Kauai - like the day we went 'Snuba Diving' (yes, I said 'snuba'), or how funny it was watching roosters and chickens run freely about the island, or sitting on our ocean front condo sipping on Starbucks (nope - no umbrellas), or the breathtaking helicopter ride over the entire island, or maybe the day I got bit by something with a nasty stinger that made my elbow swell up half the size of a baseball, or going snorkeling by ourselves and seeing some really cool fish, or .... pardon me, I'll have to get back to this at another time as I'm still in my island attire sitting on the patio basking in all the beauty of the island.... well, at least in my mind I am :)

Aloha!

Mark & I are finally taking a vacation. Yep, and not just any vacation. See the little picture to the right? Oh yeah! We're going to Hawaii - Kauai to be exact.

This will be my very first time in Hawaii and I'm terribly excited! Mark has been there before when he was in the Navy, but that was many moons ago. We're making this our gift to each other in celebration of our 13th wedding anniversay - which is in November.

We have some activities planned, like a helicopter ride, snorkeling/boat ride and a luau, other than that, we're going to just relax, eat, shop, site see on our own, eat, shop, relax and shop (I have a suit case set aside just for beads, but don't tell Mark!)

This has been planned for months and now as I type this, it is only 2 days and a wake up away! We'll be there for 1 week - that's 7 days! Don't worry, I'm not going to count the hours and minutes - math is not my friend ;)

Better get back to packing now. I'll be blogging about this trip once we return home. Aloah!
