Headed back to Oahu

The sunshine was bright and welcoming this morning as we prepared to leave Kauai after a wonderful week! We watched the doves and red headed cardinals enjoy the remains of the bread on our porch and then had breakfast. We finished packing and got on swim suits for one last swim in the pool. Both boys have turned into water bugs here. They were having a surfboard demonstration this morning and they got to stand on the surfboards...quite a thrill. We loaded up the car--and it was loaded and headed for the airport. We made a couple a great stops on the way. We visited Wailua Falls and then drove to Lydgate Beach where they have a marvelous playground. Had a quick lunch and then played on all the climbing apparatus. Then time to head for the airport. John dropped all our "stuff" and us off at the departure area and returned the car and then we checked through and waited for the plane to come. We got to watch several planes land and take off. It was a very fast 30 minute flight home and then loaded everything into a taxi. There was this elderly Chinese gentleman that was the driver that kept saying "need bigger car", but we made it! It was a glorious stay and a definite place to return to! A must see if you're heading to Hawaii!
