I'm here on the gorgeous island of Kaua'i. It's the oldest of the Hawai'ian islands and is about as close to perfect as any place on earth I've ever experienced. Check out my photo gallery if you're interested, but to further illustrate, here are a couple of my highlights from yesterday:

1. Played 18 holes of golf yesterday at Po'ipu Bay. A fabulous course that's about a mile from where we stay. It hosted the PGA Grand Slam event for about 8 years or so. Perfect sunny day.
2. Went to my favorite sunset spot, at Po'ipu Beach. Saw a monk seal sleeping on the beach. We stood about 10 feet from him/her and watched this "aquatic basset hound" snooze away.
3. While watching the sunset, a small wedding party walked onto the beach and got married right in front of us, just as the sun was setting. When the ceremony ended, the entire beach crowd applauded wildly.
4. Came back to the condo for some wonderful barbecued chicken, washed back by a Chilean cabernet sauvignon.

So, perhaps these aren't things that interest you much, but they all add up to R&R perfection in my book. And all the more reason why I so thoroughly soak up my two weeks here in paradise every couple years. Not nearly long or frequent enough, but any time here is time well spent.

Aloha,

Ken
