Back from Kauai

Yup, we did it again. We keep saying that we'll go to the Caribbean or Mexican Riviera or Florida, but where do we book? Hawaii. This time we took Bethany and her husband of one year, Anthony. We stayed in a "beach house" in Poipu that had been divided into four apartments. No air conditioning, but it was just across the street from "Baby Beach." We all had a great time! Anthony had never been to Hawaii, so we had to do the Hyatt luau and Hilo Hatties. We drove to the very top of the road at Waimea Canyon and looked over the railing through the rain and into the thick fog and smiled. We were in Hawaii...

Ya know something else? I had been on a diet since April with my goal as 145 lbs. The day we left I was 144.5! I had also been swimming at the pool with my fins to get in shape (more about that later on.) Yes, we ate "poorly" and too much and I gained some back, but within a week I'm back to 145! Now I just have to keep it off this winter...through Halloween...and Christmas...and Valentine's Day...and Mother's Day...sigh.
