The President is here. The sunshine is here. My husband is here. And a Luau is planned for Christmas day.

I shed tears of awe today. The beauty here is nothing that could possibly be displayed in pictures. It has to be experienced. I thought I’d take pictures from the air on the helicopter we rode in, but I only took a few. It was apparant that photos would never replace the memory of tears falling down my cheeks. I felt as if I had left my body and was experiencing something that only the very few enlightened ever experience. If you are ever in Kauai for any reason, this will be one of the most incredible things you’ll do in your lifetime.

After the trip, we drove to Kapa’a Town, had some sushi, and stopped at Java Kai for a Mocha. The love is even spread in the foam here. I’ll always seach for a heart in my latte from now on.
