Day 6 in Hawaii - Maui to Kauai


We woke up to the now familiar voice of Hanu baby's ‘Da daa’ and spent the first half of the day at leisure. Once we checked out we headed to Kaanapali. Spent some time at Whaler’s Village and it was time for us to part with Hanu, Dimpu & Susheel.

They drove us back to the airport where we would head to Kauai. My heart felt a bit heavy as I bid good bye to Dimpu as our whole family time felt so short L Didn’t enjoy this day too much now.

Back in the flight, we saw a hurricane 70 miles away and encountered turbulence en-route. It was raining heavily when we landed in Lihue. God! I really didn’t enjoy this day. I had hoped for a sunny vacation and Kauai was supposed to be the most beautiful island, and here we were stuck in a thunder storm.

Suman had booked a convertible here as well and we picked Sebring. We were staying for one night at a hotel close to the airport (as we were landing late) and would then head to another one where we would stay for 4 nights. We had to drive through some deserted and shady areas to finally find our hotel. We had no idea what surrounded us. It was a tiny room that we had checked into and once we put on the TV, we saw a flash flood warning for next couple of days. Just when we thought the day couldn’t get any worse. 

This was easily the worst day of my trip so far..
