Greetings from Kauai! We arrived on Tuesday Noon after a long flight via San Francisco. It was wonderfully warm as we came out of the airport and picked up our rental car. We then headed out to Kihuna Plantation to register in our ocean view cottage. It was amazing…in old Hawaii style with just louvered screened windows so the breeze was constantly blowing through our place. It was an amazing way to sleep. The temperature has been to a low of 73 at night to a high of 87 in the day. We have lots of sun with some rain. Jerry and Joanne ran out in a heavy rainfall to experience warm rain. It was awesome! The three days at this resort was beautiful…the grounds were covered with lush foliage and the lawns were so green and would have been great for a putting green or for the game of botchee! There was a beautiful orchid garden with over 450 different orchids which had been planted and is cared for by one of the locals. We had an opportunity to talk with him and he was so proud and loved his babies…as he called his orchids. It was absolutely amazing to see the many different orchids that grow out of volcanic rock, gravel and bark.
