Hawaii or bust- Day 1

October (2009) meant VACATION! We were so thankful that God provided the opportunity for us to attend Julie (Jay's sister's) and Matt's wedding on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai. We had planned this trip for at least five months, and counted down the days as the wedding approached.

Eight of the ten Thomas clan (minus the Bride & Groom) busted out of Calif in early Oct from LAX Airport flying directly into LIH Airport in Lihue, Kauai 6 hours later. It was the longest flight I've been on. Aside from boredom and a headache, I fared well during the flight. After landing, we got our luggage and two rental cars and headed out towards our condo. We stopped at a local burger hut for some delicious food as we were all quite starved. On the road to our condo, we entered the famous tree tunnel which we drove through frequently throughout our trip.

Once we arrived at our condo, we wasted no time settling in and exploring the grounds; making it our "home" for the next 10 nights. We were pleased and blessed with a spectacular ocean front view.
