Tropical renewal

Marty and I returned to our beloved Kauai location for blissful restoration last week. In contrast to our travel there a year ago, during which Marty was so ill that I was anxious about getting him home again, Marty was in great condition and energy. He was fully able to enjoy the simple life we love to experience in Kauai with only minor incidents of digestive discomfort. He even ran on the beach with me at dawn every morning!

Food was not a major issue for him this trip, so we could safely savor papaya and fresh fish and vegetables from the local farmers' markets. We floated in tidal pools, wandered on various idyllic beaches, gazed with wonder at the nightly star and meteor displays, read and slept and sat on the porch observing birds and butterflies and breezes through the palm trees. We had the great fun to observe humpback whales from our favorite beach! And, we renewed our acquaintance with local horses, and met some very friendly pigs, sheep and goats. We soaked up the rich light and lush foliage of Kauai!

We both so needed a tropical renewal. Evidence that his recent surgery was a success was obvious in his ability to enjoy our relaxed daily activities fully. It was a deeply restorative vacation for both of us on myriad levels.

Aloha!
