This is a view from the top of Hawai'i Kai as we drove down from one side of the island to another to beach hop...The beauty of the island always takes my breath away. It's incredibly relaxing to look out of the window and see the endless expanse of an aqua ocean on one side and gorgeous mountain ranges on the other.
Jeff is more of a dare devil than I am in the water. He wanted to go to Sandy Beach to check out the waves. The surf is so high, swimming isn't allowed and there are "rescue surfboards" out on the sand in case of an emergency. He wanted to body board but looked beat up after returning to shore, with bloody cuts on his leg and his fins missing. He got pounded but loved it!
Meanwhile, I prefer lying on the sand with my back to the sun and my nose in a good book. I needed to relax after a kayaking mishap at Lanikai Beach. I thought it would be the most fun to go kayaking to little islands scattered around Kailua Beach. Jeff was game, so we each rented a single kayak and paddled out. Turns out I'M WAY OUT OF SHAPE! Ten minutes into paddling, my arms ached so much I couldn't paddle any longer and started drifting to the shore. 45 minutes into paddling, I CAPSIZED and a kayaking tour guide had to rescue me and pulled me back onto my kayak. It was only funny in hindsight. And a little embarrassing because I kayaked throughout my high school years with no problem. Jeff was in disbelief but was very sweet about turning around an hour into our trip to head to shore.
