5/24/16 - On 5/18, it has been raining most of the night and off and on all day.  We got a puzzle from the office so of course I spent most of my time working on it.  It was a very relaxing day and then in the evening we went to a very nice restaurant (The Beach  House) which was right on the water.  It was a beautiful setting, the food was great and we had a beautiful sunset.  An excellent way to end out week's vacation in Kauai.

5/19 - We drove up to the very north end of the island since there was a dry cave and a wet cave to walk to and at the end was a state park but on the way there the traffic was very heavy so of course we could not find any parking but on the way back we did find a stop so we could walk to the dry cave.  We then stopped off in Hanalei for some shaved ice with ice cream and there were a couple of shops there so Aunt Esther and Robyn checked those stores out and I watched people.  We had planned to go to the beach for a short time but with the shopping we decided to just have our sandwiches in the picnic area by the shops.  We then drove to another area to check out that beach since we had never been there and it was really nice.  It had picnic tables, lots of trees in the area for shade and the water was very calm and good for snorkling since it was located more like an inlet.

5/20 - we had to pack and get out of the condo by 10:00am.  We then drove to the south part of the island and went to the see the water spout which is very neat.  It is really rocky and has areas in the rocks where the water rushes in and then there is a small hole and the water releases like a huge spout.  We went to another beach area for lunch and then walked to the beach where there were picnic tables and since it was Friday afternoon, the locals gathered in the area.  We have a clean restroom and changed clothes to get ready to go to the airport.  In the middle of Lihue, we found a small park and sat there for a while and watch the roosters and hens get ready for the night.  We did not realize that they actually flew into the trees and nested for the night.  It was quite interesting.  Off to the airport.  Aunt Esther dropped Robyn and I off with luggage and took the car back.  I left on Delta and they flew back on American.

5/21- I got into LAX on schedule but then was about an hour late getting out since a lot of the roads were closed coming into LAX because they were moving part of the space shuttle to a museum and the flight attendants could not get in because of the traffic jam.  Robyn waited for me at the Phoenix airport and Aunt Esther flew home later that afternoon so she just stayed at the airport.  We got back to the RV around 11:00am.  I did not do much but sleep off and on.

5/22 - I finally emptied out the suitcase, went to church with my friend Neal and then out for dinner since that is the last time I will see him for a while.

5/23 - I went grocery shopping and have started to put things away since Aunt Ada and I will be leaving in a week.
