{Well, it did a little!}
I reminded myself that I would be returning in 4 short months to see these two special people become husband and wife:
They are getting married here at the Waimea Plantation right under the natural arch of this banyan tree. {sigh}
I seriously cannot wait for this wedding. Despite the sour economic times a bunch of our relatives are throwing caution to the wind and flying out for this not-to-be-missed destination wedding. Even my dear Uncle Ron is flying out from Kentucky to witness the event.
So here are a few of my favorite photos from our 9-day vacation in Kauai. Since we've been to the island a handful of times we didn't feel the need to do a lot of sightseeing so we enjoyed the slippery slides at the resort, {Darren} indulged in local fare {me!} and caught up on our sleep. {Bruce}
Here's a view of the sunrise from where we were staying in Kapa'a. Of course I was awake at 4:30am since Hawaiian time is 3-hours earlier than home!
My boys snorkeling!
We were lucky enough to come across a sea turtle while snorkeling in Poipu!
My favorite part of our trip - hiking the Kalalau Trail
After a strenuous 2-mile hike in you reach Hanakapia Beach:
