Scott & Stacy's Adventures: New Island, New Adventures

We had some slight issues at the airport this morning. See the airline has the strict rule that your check-in bag cannot weigh more than 50 pounds. Yeah, we knew that we were pushing it this monring when we were sitting on our bags to get them zipped before we even left the hotel. We stepped up to the scale and Scott went first. 56 pounds. Even if we took six pounds worth of stuff out, where were we going to put it? Scott paid the extra $25 dollars. I stepped up. 56 pounds. Now the "nice" lady behind the counter said that if we took six pounds out of my bag and put it in Scott's bag, we would only have to pay one overweight fee. Sounded like a good idea. Except, how in the world were we going to fit anymore into Scott's bag. We gave it the old college try and after a little magic, and a lot of muscle, we were able to make it work. Then the "nice" lady behind the counter encouraged us to purchase another bag for our return trip. Apparently checking a second bag is much cheaper than have one overweight bag. Good to know, now!

We made it safe and sound to Kauai. The flight took longer to board and unboard then we were actually in the air. There are not so many people on this island. Things seem much more casual and layed back. We checked into our hotel and then headed up to see Erica. Her place is so cool. It sits up high, overlooking a valley with a river running through it. I would never get anything done with a view like that. I would spend most of my time staring out the big windows.

Tomorrow is a trip around the island, with Erica as our tour guide. I am so excited to see the beauty of this place.
