Going Native...

It didn't take long for my intrepid family members to start to hang loose in Kauai. Talk about fast learners.

Tomorrow they will go on a whale watching cruise while I go for a hike. I can't keep their "Go! Go! Go!" pace up. I'm only human, I need some rest. 

Besides, I get seasick in a bathtub. I don't want to be the passenger tossing "chum" to the cetaceans. Those humpbacks have to deal with enough pollution without me fouling the waters around them. 

Speaking of whales. I saw the Michael Jordan of humpbacks today at a nearby beach. This dude leapt out of the saltwater a few times in about a minute. I'm not sure if he could slam dunk, but from my vantage point he appeared to make all the right moves. Score!

This sure beats winter,

Good night from balmy Princeville,

You Meet the Nicest People II...

On the Na Pali Coast trail. 

No! They aren't squatters. That's my brother/mentor/hero Mike and my bestest sister-in-law Robin. We are all hanging out together for a week on Kauai. 

They are newbies in the retirement game. I'll try and teach them a lesson or two about setting a comfortable pace in our non-work years. 

Retirement (as I see it) is based upon the "event of the day" and Happy Hour. After a few years, it becomes pretty routine. If you need further explanation on what constitutes an event of the day, go ahead and contact me. I'm available for a free consultation. If it's Happy Hour, I might ask for an IPA for payment. 

Such a deal!

BTW. I was the "Best Man" at Mike and Robin's wedding. I've been the Best Man for two other couples too. All three pairs of man and wife have been married now for over 115 years. 

So... If you want to get married and stay that way, ask me to be your Best Man. I'm a divorce lawyer's worst nightmare. 

Good night from Princeville,

Jeff

PS. Check out the Stonedhenge monument photo. (No typo there). 

Lackanuki Falls...

Only joking. The Hawaiians didn't name this beauty after the dreaded and feared social disease. But I did get you to click onto my blog site. See, sex or the lack of it sells. 

Its real name is Hanakapiai Falls. Say that three times fast without stopping. The route is 2 miles off the Na Pali Coast trail. For a day hike, it's worth the effort, especially since the trail is drying out. This doesn't mean you won't slip, just less chance of it happening.  It hasn't rained here in over a week. I'm not complaining.

Hang loose!
