Kauai – part one

Last week we were very fortunate to be on a trip to Kauai, Hawaii. Rob got a reward trip from Nuance. We were also lucky in that Fran and Harold volunteered to fly out to Denver to watch Meg and Spencer while we were gone. It sounds like they had a great time while we were off having a great time of our own. We left about 8 a.m. on Sunday, and after a brief change of planes in Phoenix, landed in Lihue, Kauai around 3:30 p.m. There was a shuttle to our hotel, the Grand Hyatt, and we had a little time for a nap before the first evening reception.

Monday morning Rob had a team-building event at 7:30 a.m., which consisted of building surf boards out of cardboard, which was a lot of fun. Clare went to the spa for a bodywrap while I was doing that. Then there was a group lunch. We had the afternoon to ourselves to explore, and then we had dinner just the two of us. Then there was a night club reception after that.

Tuesday we had the entire day to ourselves. We had a leisurely breakfast, then explored the beautiful pools. After a quick lunch we went on our first excursion, which was a 4×4 van ride to Mt. Waialeale and a hike.
