Did I mention I got married? *looks back at past posts* Yep, I did.

Cedarfoxy and I are in Hawaii - on Kaua'i to be specific - on a vacation planned a year ago with some friends who then couldn't make it, so we turned it into a second honeymoon. This trip has a lot fewer planned adventures than I did last trip (January 2018), but that's what's right for us.

Our flight on Friday was delayed. We were ready to leave the house at 6:30, but I saw an urgent email when I went to order the Lyft, and our flight had been delayed 2.5 hours. And then our second leg was slow to get off the ground because that type of plane requires the engines to start simultaneously, and they needed then second person for the other side to show up. So I wasn't picking up the rental car until 7 instead of checking into the condo at 5 like expected. Instead of doing shopping, we went to bed.

Saturday morning we watched the sunrise over tea from the balcony and took LOTS of pictures. Then we traded for a smaller rental car (the "upgrade" was hard to fit into the parking spots here) before finding the park with the farmers market, which was AMAZING. We devoured a raspberry churro and a nutella churro and picked up filled croissants to take back, as well as teeny tiny bananas, kale, avocados, and rambutan.

Then we went to Target to buy our groceries for the week (and a couple hats). It seems that Target maybe wasn't cheaper groceries than Safeway across the street, but oh well. Cedarfoxy then took a nap while I caught up on DW and read the 100% best "drunk Coulson" fic I've ever seen (You're Where You Should Be All The Time - Laura Kaye - Phil/Clint ultimately).

The "beach" at our location is not sandy.  It's more like tidepools than anything else.  I'm not sure if the material is rock-rock or used-to-be-alive rock.  But the rock is v slippery in places and has very unique erosion patterns, no anemones or things I see in Oregon tidepools, but weird critters I later identified as sea cucumbers.  We gingerly made our way south until we found a public access to the beach (so as not to backtrack) and found we were right across the street from the Safeway.  So we checked out the ABC Store and Safeway to get a last few needed items.

We reheated croissants for dinner and went to bed.  Sleeping can be a challenge here, because omg hot, but Cedarfoxy's bones like it.
