Lordy, so much to share.
The trip was amazing. Kawaii is a beautiful island. Mostly local stuff -- which was fabulous. Fantastic local towns - just as you'd think island life would be. BUT cool enough that I could get a Nitro Kona coffee everyday --- WHAT?!?! Poke until I couldn't "poke" anymore. One of the store owners gave me a flower lei. It's that kind of place.
I jumped way out of my comfort zone and had some great adventures. SCUBA (two dives) - wow - turtles, fish, eel, coral -- incredible. Snorkeled with some turtles (next to HUGE waves). Boat ride along the coast with crystal blue waves, caves, mountains, waterfalls. Saw dolphins, 2 kinds of whales, turtles -- you name it. Helicopter ride into old volcano and over the pacific "grand canyon." We also so the hump back whales in protective formation from some stray okra whales. Beautiful 5 mile hike up cliffs, in the jungle, over Hawaiian sacred ground, around the shore line and a natural sink-hole cave. I also (finally) rode a SUP in the ocean. Took me lots of tries and a couple of falls to finally stand up but I did it!!
Loved it all!
Now I'm home and the business of being home has started. Hello cleaning my own house, grocery shopping, etc. I'm tired and sore today. The overnight flight means losing a night's sleep and time change and trip and busy week. I'm in vacation hang-over mode.
Plus all this has messed with my "regularity" *TMI alert* and I'm feeling yuck. My ears are clogged and hurt from SCUBA. Not really complaining -- everything was amazing, but I need some recovery time.
I think a light workout today, healthy eating and some time with my pup will help things out.
Tomorrow begins busy and I need to feel better.
Okay, time to get moving. Later gators.
