Fall Trip to Hawaii
Fun Family Get Away to the Garden Isle
Our October trip to Kauai, Hawaii was a bit of a mixed emotion type of trip. On our way to the airport, my wife received the news that her father had passed away. This wasn’t a surprise as we saw him twelve hours earlier in hospice and prayed that he would pass quickly. So it was with some relief that we received the news but understandably also very sad.
My oldest daughter’s boyfriend, who is half-Hawaiian, had never been to his ancestral homeland so we were excited to share his first time in the islands. We have been to Kauai many times so we know the island quite well. This was our first time staying in Princeville, though, and we enjoyed our time there. It did mean a lot of time in the car travelling down to the east and south coasts of the island but we liked the lush beauty of the north side of the island.
My wife had some difficult moments on the trip but I think it was therapeutic to be there at such a hard time in her life.
