Last Two Days in Kauai...

 Saturday, July 30

While Jane, Martha and Larry did go out to brave the weekend crowds for some more beach time, I sheltered in place at the villa.

Even so, they were ready to be away from the heat and crowds after lunch and we enjoyed movies the rest of the day.  I believe we're all ready to leave.

Here's a pic taken by Larry as the three one them sought a nice sunrise picture while I slept in:

Once packed up, we left the resort for breakfast and to while away the day as we waited to return the rental minivan and check in for our respective flights in the evening.

We visited Wailua Falls (another narrow road access, parking limited, crowded tourist spot).  They were made famous as the waterfalls in the TV show: Fantasy Island.

After we escaped the chaos at the waterfall overlook, we burned away time checking out other Marriott vacation properties in Lihue.  

More time burned at Starbucks and BK for a late lunch.  Finally it was time to return the car, check bags and get through security....all quite painless including the Agricultural products inspection points.

As they're on a different airline and later flight, we said our goodbyes and thanks to Larry and Jane.  They're going back to Virginia and we of course back to the Stoner State.

A trip filled more with happy highlights than unpleasant interludes.... probably won't be returning to the Islands anytime in the foreseeable future though.

Here's our ride:

Ahola!
