We made it! Yesterday was a grueling day of about 20 hours of travel time, 11 of those being on airplanes, but we survived! After two easy flights early in the morning to get to LA, we were able to spend our layover there with Grandma and Grandpa Talcott, who had just gotten in from a vacation themselves. It was so helpful to have them entertain the kids for our 3 hour layover! David and I got a little break, and a chance to get energized for the next flight.
Our next flight was 6 hours to the island of Kauai, and it was the toughest of the three by far. Not only was it longer than we've ever done with the kids before, they were exhausted from getting up at 3:30 our time, and we had a seat arrangement that made things very tough. But the kids were actually much better behaved than we could've hoped for, and at last, we're here! The kids were up early, so we went and checked out the beach immediately in front of the house we're staying in. The water is warm, the vegetation is so different than we're used to, and the crabs, sea slugs, and shells at the beach are all so amazing!
We have more adventures planned in the upcoming days, so I'll try to keep the pictures coming!

Great pictures. The water looks good and the kids look awake and ready to go. Have a great vacation.

Oh... now I want to go back. I hope God blesses your socks off with this trip. If you have a chance, go to the north side of the island and visit the lighthouse and bird sanctuary. then eat at the Blue Dolphin (I think that's the name). You get GREAT sandwiches, seated outside. On one side is a river/canal, and across the road on the other side you have a view of waterfalls. Oh... it's incredible! Snorkelling too... such bliss. And a cruise around Napali. And I could go on and on. Enjoy! It's the most beautiful of all the islands.
