Arrival day continued

Evening

We left LA in the midst a rainstorm that had sent small tornados through Long Beach—the type that can take a roof off if it hits just right, but usually just tosses a few trash cans about, knocks down a fence here and there, or uproots a few trees. We arrived in Kauai to yet another rain storm, with more to come. It rains a lot here, so that was not a surprise, especially this time of year. I slept well last night. Rain can be very soothing.

We arrived on the island later than planned. Our luggage was waiting for us. It made the flight that we had missed. Then we picked up the rental car and headed off to the rehearsal dinner. Or, perhaps, I should say non-rehearsal dinner. Thankfully someone at the party had the good sense to call us, or we never would have found the house. It was well hidden on the ocean side of Koloa. The food was good, the company pleasant, and the chair that everyone insisted I sit down in comfortable. Too much so.

I curled up and silently slept through much of the evening. Ah well, everyone still had a wonderful time. :-)
