Jan and Anne watch the luggage as Fred and Doug pick up the rental cars and we are all on our way. Parking and getting the car seem to be "guy jobs", and probably always will be.

44 of us check in at the Kauai Aston Beachboy in Kapaa Saturday night. Thanks to Andre's generosity, the $30 per room rate double occupancy is hard to beat.

Keith checks out the view from his second floor ocean view room at the Beachboy.

Carolyn and Valerie check into the BeachBoy, amazed that they had left Arkansas early that same morning where it is now 11pm at night.

16 others continue on to the two beach houses in Haena on northern Kauai, Hale Makua and Makua Ma Ke Kai, and Avery beach house in Hanalei nearby.

The beach in front of our Hanalei beach house and the view out the back of the beach house towards the mountains with waterfalls running year round. No wonder they call this Bali Hai.
