So, Dan and I snuck away for 9 days to the beautiful island of Kauai at the end of April into May. We’d been apart for 3 months and we knew we wanted to see each other before August 31st, when we’ll be reunited next, but the timing was tricky with me job hunting. So we decided, screw it. We dropped everything, got time off approved from our bosses, and bought plane tickets and booked a hotel 4 days before we left.<\/p>\n

We had an amazing time. I won’t break it down day by day, but instead will just post a bunch of pictures. One thing we did that might have been my favorite, but sadly I have no pictures of, is the day we went stand up paddle boarding on the Wailua River. It was hot and sunny and we spent half the time paddle boarding, half the time with our boards bound together laying down, soaking upt he sun and floating down the river. Heaven!<\/p>\n

Reunited in paradise! Specifically Coconut Beach
\n\"<\/a>
\nSpent the afternoon catching up and just staring out
\n\"<\/a>
\nOur first excursion was driving out to Wailua Falls
\n\"<\/a>
\nDan still had to work. I’d plan out own week while he did that. It was awesome to look up and see him.
\n\"<\/a>
\nExploring caves!
\n\"<\/a>
\nHiking day
\n\"<\/a>
\nOur hiking path had a river crossing. Guess who hurt their tailbone…
\n\"<\/a>
\nEnjoying coconut mocha fraps from Starbucks
\n\"<\/a>
\nRock hunting on the beach
\n\"<\/a>
\nWaimea Canyon
\n\"<\/a>
\nDan and his feral burger from Feral Pig. Ordered off a secret menu, it was a pork belly monstrosity of delicious!
\n\"<\/a>
\nEarly birthday present- New cell phone case from Japan!
\n\"<\/a>
\nOur catamaran for the evening!
\n\"<\/a>
\nScared I’d fall over!
\n\"<\/a>
\nJust happy being with him
\n\"<\/a>
\nWe found sea turtles!
\n\"<\/a>
\nExcuse us piggies!
\n\"<\/a>
\nNight after night of pretty sunsets
\n\"<\/a>
\nWalking around the shopping center
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had the best trip ever! A little over 3 months til our next reunion!
