Today was a nice lazy day. We got up and went to breakfast and then went for a walk along the beach up past some of the other hotels on our strip. Then we decided to spend some valuable time in the sun at poolside. Yep, we just sat by the pool and sipped tropical drinks while reading our books. Nothing like downtime. Later that night, we drove to the south end of the island to a restaurant Katie's Uncle Butch recommended called The Beach House. It's one of those trendy, upscale restaurants that charges a helluva lot for food. The difference is that this wasn't quite as hoity-toity a restaurant as some of those of the same calibre would in, say, So-Ho. The waitress was down-to-earth and knew her stuff regarding all the food and the several dozen types of wine that they keep in-house. I had cajun grilled ono while Katie had shrimp and pasta in a tomato pesto sauce. The food was incredible and there was actually quite a bit of it. We also downed an entire bottle of wine in the course of the night. We wanted to get dessert because they looked incredible, but after how much we'd already eaten... we decided to pass.

Unfortunately we had to cut our Kauai experience short today and head out to Maui. Not that Maui's bad, just that Kauai kicks ass. The flight was a bit bumpy and we had to go to Maui via Oahu. Off...
