our little adventure to kauai

We had little hope of making this trip anything close to a relaxing vacation but to much of our surprise it was quite so. Taking the twins on a 6 hour flight from SF to Honolulu to Lihue seemed quite daunting at first but turned out to be manageable after all, not pleasant but manageable. I have to agree with Viral that most important thing about traveling with kids is Planning, Planning and Planning. We had a good checklist of things we had to take - their everyday items, emergency items, medical items, play time items etc. Of course we also took our nanny along which is what made this easy. Viral and I actually got to spend some time together. Also the ensemble of 8 other friends were a great support around. While the reason for the trip was to cheer one of our dear friends Rakesh who ran the Honolulu Marathon, we didn't quite make it to the event. We cheered him with our enthusiasm and support remotely from Kauai. The weather switched between being scorching hot and humid in the day time to being cold in the evenings and night. The sunset on the Poipu beach was breathtaking. Here's one for a starter..
