I am a little apprehensive. We are going to an island we have not been before. The flight is long, but it always is. We are prepared for the long flight. We sleep, we talk, we read. we endure. The 2year old girl across the aisle is not quite as prepared. She doesn't understand why she can't get out of her chair. The parents are mortified. We try to comfort the dad (who looks like the mom) and the mom (who also looks like the mom). We finally land in Honolulu. Alex is jumping out of her chair and does NOT want to get back in.
In Honolulu we have time to grab a bite to eat, and then we are on another flight, this time 45 minutes. We land in Kona. We are on the leeward, or Dry side of the island. It is also the island currently under construction (active volcanoes). This is our first view of the island.
Within the next 2 hours, we have a car and a room. The view is stunning, but the wind is blowing. The pilot warned us that a storm was currently over Kauai and would hit the Island of Hawaii by tonight. We walk out onto our balcony, and what do we see?
Kayleen is hoping to "just get to a place away from the stress of work and school." She is content to sit on the beach every day.
But we don't have to got to the beach. We can sit on our balcony an hear the waves role and feel the breeze.
She concedes, "I am happy"
