We were lucky enough to board and depart Sydney on time, although the continuing strong westerly winds did make for a few bumps. In fact, the captain seemed to find every corrugation he could between Sydney and Honolulu! The flight went well; we were fed dinner not long after take-off, then ice creams did the rounds, followed by hot chocolate or peppermint tea. It was actually quite a relief when all the refreshments had been given out and we could settle for the night.
Cat slept deeply all night, having to be woken for breakfast – can’t say the same for myself, even with the aid of some chemicals! It just seemed very rough and noisy all night.
We arrived in Honolulu on time, actually we arrived before we departed, and proceeded through immigration and customs without any problems – the officials actually smiled and made conversation. The security bloke at the check-in for Hawaiian Airlines actually joked with us – we taught him some new Australian saying. He had trouble getting his tongue around “avagoodweekend” and “don’t forget the Aerogard” was completely foreign. By the time we boarded the flight to Kauai we were nearly suffering from hypothermia, the air conditioning was so severe. Twenty minutes later and we were on the ground again, rang the resort for the shuttle to collect us for the five minute drive to the Kauai Beach Resort.
We are very happy with the standard of the resort, the accommodation is good, Cat is happy because there is a king size bed (I’m sure he is planning on sleeping in the middle!!!), there is a nice chaise longue to relax on and a small balcony. We have organised our tours, etc for the next three days and were lucky enough to arrive on a Wednesday, which means we get to see the weekly production of “South Pacific.”
Having trouble loading photos - will try again tomorrow.

Nothing like being 'behind with the times'. Sun is shining and I had lunch on the balcony as well today.
