Day 4: We Slept In and Then We Hung With Crush

The rush and adventure of the previous three days finally caught up to us on Thursday so we did something that we rarely do. We slept in. Until almost 10. And then when we got up, we were pretty laid back in getting ready for the day. It was fun to do something different. Who knew that sleeping in and not rushing to get ready for a day's worth of activities could be so refreshing? The laid back approach to the day must have been good kharma for finding Crush and his buddies. We went back to our favorite beach on the northside of the island--the one with the reef shark sighting. But when the beach looks like this...how could you not go back? And we both took turns following the sea turtles around as they floated lazily in the ocean current around the reef. We finished up the day by sharing a coconut and making smoothies for dinner.

(It's a good thing we didn't stay on the island longer because I would have been totally converted to fruitarian)

Well, are you completely bored with this little vacation re-cap? Don't worry, 4 days down and only 2 left. If you are bored of this, feel free to tune out until next week when I have to return to posting about real life--like the recent news report that says short people have a greater chance of heart disease. When I heard that, it reminded me of the 70's song Short People Ain't Got No Reason.

Your dad lives on papayas when we go - at least 2 for breakfast & more when they are on the menu. He would not, however, think smoothees were dinner........Now, he wants to zipline!

Love your pictures Heather! What a wonderful place. My goal is to go to every island eventually. Did you get to hike the Na Pali coast? We hiked Waimea too. I forgot the trail name. But some of your pictures looked familiar!!! I'm so happy for you that you got to go. 20 years of marriage is worth celebrating!!! :) Congratulations. I'll have to read about the rest of your vacation!
