Kauai

The flight to Kauai from Maui was quick, efficient, and uneventful. Picking up our rental car, on the other hand, was a long, drawn out affair. There were a lot of dings and scratches that we had to record before leaving the lot. Once we left the lot, we discovered that our GPS was using it's own battery power instead of drawing power from the cable connected to the auxillary power outlet of the car. And on top of that, our hunt for dinner was a complete disaster.  Either the dinner suggestions I made were not viable (they were either too far, closed, or too expensive), or Matt disagreed with the suggestions entirely (Cess: "How about we make sandwiches?" Matt: "No."). We ended up having one of our saddest dinners ever: a prepared soup and a prepared salad from Safeway. Really the issue was that we started our hunt for dinner far too late. Almost everything closed at 9pm. We really didn't want to resort to eating at McDonald's. Then the final straw: no available parking at the hotel. This problem actually had the easiest solution. The hotel had "overflow parking" passes. Whew. Tomorrow will be another day. Everything looks better in sunshine. =)
