We spent two nights in Waikiki, visiting Pearl Harbor while we were there. It was incredibly moving. Although not unexpected, we were still taken aback by just how crowded and commercial Waikiki is. One high end store or mall after another. But we had a nice ocean front room at the Outrigger Reef with a balcony that felt like a cruise ship balcony 🙂. We then flew to Kauai which is everything I imagined Hawaii to be; lush, green, laid back unspoiled and just gorgeous. Our resort, Koloa Landing in Poipu, could not have been better. We took a sunset catamaran cruise Tuesday along the NaPali coast. All I can say is wow, wow, wow. Pictures don’t do it justice. Waimea Canyon was also spectacular. This trip truly lived up to our expectations and I wouldn’t change a thing. Our last night on Oahu You know you’re in a small airport when you see this in baggage claim 😂 Koloa Landing our last night in Kauai 😢 Gorgeous pictures. Must be hard leaving such a beautiful place. Safe travels home to you both. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pick for the best Mai Tai is the one at Monkepod, ingredients listed below. Some I tried were too fruity, while others had too much orgeat. Maybe it was the macadamia orgeat or maybe it was the honey lilikoi foam, but either way it was a winner. That looks really good. I know the Hawaiian versions of the Mai Tai are way sweeter with the extra juices. Your pictures look incredible. I made some notes of your visit to Kauai for when we go there. Thanks for sharing your great experiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had a long trip home... did you fly in two or three segments? We recently took a 5 hour non-stop flight and I thought it would never end. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sad summer is coming to an end and cannot wait to get back to LBI. House is rented up through Chowderfest. Have you ever been to Chowderfest? Lots of fun but very crowded. I was happy to read your GS is doing well adjusting to life with diabetes. That's Great! Thank you, Debbie. No, we've never been to Chowderfest. Where abouts is it held?

The $5 housecleaning sale was a semi-success. We were advised by shoppers that we should have advertised on FB. But we are not on Facebook. Anyway, we made $142 for stuff we didn’t pay for. I pulled the CHANEL jacket, after I looked up the selling prices. We took everything leftover to Habitat for Humanity and a local charity thrift shop. Since the dumpster arrived on Monday, we have been doing additional inside and garage cleaning and purging. Bill lugged 13 garbage bags of paperback books up from the basement. And today, our first load of winter firewood arrived. We will be stacking wood for a few days. 😊 That’s a fair amount of wood. Question, is that a Triumph in the background?

I am checking them out. I was checking them out but then we decided to try a 7 night sailing out of San Juan. 6 ports with 1 sea day with decent pricing. We did book Odyssey for the usual 7 night itinerary for end of March. Are you going to book one of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking must be tough When do you head back to LBI? It is held at Bay Village. Parking can be tough but we always seem to get lucky and find a good spot. It is held the first weekend of October. Lots of fun. And even better to start Christmas shopping. Most stores set up sidewalk sales with some great prices before they close for winter. As of right now we plan on heading to LBI mid October after our fall renters leave. That may change to November as we have a summer renter possibly wanting a week or two in October. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted Thursday at 01:17 AM #129171 Share Posted Thursday at 01:17 AM @Ocean Boy. You may be sharing your GF, Taylor, with us. Rumor is she bought a home in Bucks County last month for just under $13 million. If rumor is true she would be about 10 minutes from me. Maybe I should bake an apple pie and welcome her to the neighborhood😁 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
