I've been meaning to write a bit about our trip to hawaii. It was spur of the moment, and required a last minute change of itinerary from Maui to Kauai which left us hot and sweaty in Lihui with a sleepy baby, a hungry breast-feeding momma, no place to stay and really no idea of where to go. It was a huge wake up call that traveling with a baby is very different than adventuring as 'dinks'. We soon were all quite grumpy, almost whimpering like Lucas. At that moment, hawaii was not much to look at, and the traffic was unbearable. We couldn't find one place that had free wi-fi, even the library charged 10$ for access. The only thing that saved us from ourselves was air conditioning in our rental car and a hearty italian meal. We finally stopped to pray and get something cold and mango and things began to get better. Here is the story in pictures.
