Not Exactly Warm & Sunny

You feel so productive when you're first Hawaiian morning starts at 4:45 a.m.
We had the enormous gym to ourselves and then started breakfast in the dark on the restaurant patio.

And then I realized I lost my phone somewhere between the gym and breakfast and spent 30 minutes retracing my steps. Fortunately someone turned it in to the front desk.

The rest of the morning was lovely, working and reading on the hotel's covered patio--

good protection from the off and on rain all morning.

We drove into Hanalei for lunch at Tahitian Nui (casual, recommend. The salad was so good.)

Afterward, we drove around town and the sun even came out while we walked on the beach.
 

The mountains and jungle are spectacular on the North Shore of Kauai.

Back at the room we watched the UW/Michigan game (Boo! Michigan),

 ate an early dinner at "Happy Talk" just five minutes away (Good service, good food.)

But it's outdoors which normally would be good, but today was cold, and worse, really windy.

We're back in the hotel room, trying to warm up in pajamas and a robe and a blanket.

It's so windy outside and a long walk to the hot tubs, so cancelled that thought.

Hoping for warmer weather tomorrow!
