Kauai Day 1: Livin' in Paradise

Hello! We're home from Kauai!



We started the trip off with beer and cocktails in the airport while waiting to leave. Our flight was a little late so it was a splendid idea. Time needed to be wasted.



Andy stuck with a beer while I drank a strawberry margarita. It helped make the flight go by a bit faster. We landed in Kauai almost an hour later than we planned on. We immediately went to bed in our condo and woke up to...



This view from our lanai (balcony)! I was so excited! Waking up to the sounds of the ocean is one thing but seeing how beautiful the ocean is another.

We were up at 6am electing not to adjust from California to Hawaii time. (it's a 3 hour difference. We preferred to get up super early and go to bed late.)



Here's Andy on our morning walk.



And myself.



And the wild chickens that roam throughout the area. They are considered pests but I truly loved them!!!!



Next up was breakfast. I needed coffee something fierce.



Andy ordered eggs, portuguese sausage, toast and hash browns. Portuguese sausage is amazingly flavorful, greasy and spicy. 2 slices of it was plenty.



I ordered an egg wrap that came with passion fruit/papaya jelly on top. It was incredible paired with the savory eggs, portuguese sausage and veggies inside. I loved this breakfast. See, I'm one of those people who just can't do sweet, carby breakfasts. Pancakes won't do it for me. I'll just be hungry in an hour.





Leave it to us to go to a burger place for breakfast.

I have over 400 pictures to share! Believe me we're both excited to blog. Andy will be blogging as well. I plan on catching up on your blog posts also. I missed the blog world! :)
