A little over a week ago, we managed to clutch vacation from the jaws of certain cabin fever. Escaping six inches of snow on Capitol Hill on the 18th, we left Seattle with minimal delay and landed in Lihue, Kauai about six hours later. Now it’s time to return to the colder, damper, Pacific Northwest after 6 more inches of snow and bout 48 hours of above-freezing temperatures (and probably half an inch of rain).
- 2 buses and 6 cars spun out…Seattle and snow leads to widespread idiocy
- Sunset from the Beach House on the south shore.
- So hard to walk away from Hanalei
It’s bittersweet leaving paradise, but it’ll be nice being back in Seattle…assuming we can make it from the airport back to the Hill…
