Well, our long-awaited trip to New Zealand is finally underway. We departed Vancouver yesterday morning and flew to Kauai to spend a few days with Kevin before he relocates back to the mainland in a month or two. We'll finish up with a few days on Oahu before we actually leave for Auckland the evening of the 24th.
The trip has gotten off to a rather soggy start. We were greeted at Lihue airport with heavy showers which continued all across the island as we drove to Kalaheo - near where we used to live from '94-'98 - to stay at a local B&B. Was raining about as hard as we've seen it do here...which is saying plenty for Kauai. Started to clear up a bit last night though, and there's actually sun today although it's still very windy. Forecast is for it to stay unsettled for the next several days. We're hoping for it to clear enough to be able to hike up at Kokee and head over to Mahaulepu while we're here.
No pictures yet, but here are a few from previous visits to NZ.
