Aloha! A gorgeous day in Po'ipu





We arrived on Monday afternoon in the pouring rain -- made a run to Costco and headed for our condo. As soon as we got to Po'ipu--it stopped raining and the sun came out. It was so beautiful. We just soaked it in. We walked down the beach a bit, had a drink at the Hyatt at sunset, came home and went to bed early. Tuesday morning we enjoyed breakfast on that patio just after sunrise. We read for a couple of hours and talked...nothing to do, no place to go, nothing we should be doing...it is so restorative here, much like the experience of being on a retreat and enjoying times of solitude and silence, except we're together, talking.


We decided to go for a short walk down the beach, but as always we get curious and ended up walking several miles. The sea turtles were everywhere -- as were the rosters!


We grilled steaks on the BBQ and went to Spouting Horn to watch the sunset. Shopped at bit at Old Koloa -- the first sugar plantation in Hawaii -- a beautiful day.
