Our first day in Kauai-

- Mommy read a quick dinning guide book and found a Vietnamese noodle lace but it was closed. We found Jamba Juice and got some instead. Still starved.

- Drove thru Kapaa'a town and saw so many shops. Ran past a noddle house,
it was tempting so we turn around and stop. The was the first time in a long, long time that Mommy had noodle this island style again.

- Full and we head out Kiahuea, Kowlong shopping area. Since Mommy decided to visit a bakery that has very good review there. The bread was good, not much pastry left but we found an island soap company next door, bought a few things. It turns out thay make terrific soap that even Daddy use volunterinly.

- Next stop- Todd, it was easily found (with a GPS), have no idea who is who, where is where, we headed straight into the main house and asked for direction. There was the big nice gentlement gently told us the house is for Todd's guests and family only, and the fans are camping outside. Now I know what the pic on Michele's website is about, the sunset view in the main house :-)

- At the camp side, we have no idea who is who, what is the procedure and what to do. Daddy came back out to get the tent but Mommy found out there are rooms for putting down the tents so it is not very good to put down the tent and leave it there. We decided not to put it down, then found out Sumo ran after the dog and straight into the fire. Thanks the guys who yelled out-

Finaly found out which lady is Michele, did the greet and meet.
Sign up for Mon volunteer to get the ice.
Learning that we can do the registration later with Rebob,
everybody started dinner and we left to check out
our condo.

- Our condo is an ocean front condo, ground floor that has the most beautiful view of the beach, sitting on top of the cliff. The sunset scene was magnificient.
And guess what, there was no AC in the condo.

- Open the windows, turn on the fans and ...

- Now all we need is food.
we found a supermarket in Princeville called Foodland, grab some permanent bags
and go into the price shock of our lives.
