Sunny skies, warm weather, and sandy toes

First I have to explain to all of you why I have not been blogging every day from Kauai as promised. The resort that we are staying at is robbing guests by charging $9.95 per DAY for internet access. We mostly don't need the internet since Micah and I both get email on our phones, so to pay an additional $70.00 just to blog is a bit steep. We move to a different location on Saturday night where internet is included in the price of your room so I will definately update more regularly then :)







OK, now that that's out of the way....here's our Kauai update! Monday was another perfect day! We hung at the pool during the morning hours, splashing in the Keiki pool and soaking up the sun. Then we headed to Poipu in the afternoon for Puka Dogs, the world's best hot dog, and Poipu Beach. A puka dog is really unlike any other hot dog, if it's even fair to call it a hot dog at all. They start with a polish or veggie dog, grill it, then stuff it into a blanket of squishy soft white bread bun, fill it with lilikoi mustard, a secret garlic lemon cream sauce, and add your choice of tropical relish. My favorite is coconut, but everyone else had mango. They also shake fresh squeezed lemonade for you that goes perfectly with the dog. Sooo yummy! After lunch we headed down to Poipu beach where we swam in the ocean and watched a sea turtle lounge on the beach. We had made reservations at Keioki's Paradise for dinner, but had to head back to Kapa'a early b/c Micah's mom wasn't feeling well. We went to Coconuts for dinner instead and loved our dinner. I had tempura ono that was covered in wasabi cream sauce served over a bed of ginger rice....talk about delicious! Micah loved it as well, but unfortunately, it didn't love him. He spent most of the night awake every 2 hours with his beloved allergic reaction to fish, that almost lead to a very early morning trip to the ER. Fortunately, he was able to calm his body down and catch up on rest Tuesday morning.

Enjoy!!
