The Daily Life Wife and Toots went to see a play at her High School: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dream Coat! Toots made the Cows that came down from the ceiling. They said the play was very good.

Sometime or other there was an eclipse of the Moon! Couldn’t see it from my house, before I went to bed, anyway.

Day 310/Day 16…not bad for a two week/14 day vacation!

Sunday, November 13, 2022

The lights of Seattle: it was 6:30am there.

After we landed we had to take the tram from where we landed to the C terminal. It was about 50 yards away, but for some reason they did not want us to stroll across the taxiway…

But unlike when we were heading the other way, the tram was not far from the gate we got off at, and once we got to Terminal C it was up two escalators and we were there! There was a Starbucks just down the way for breakfast, and then sit around until 11am…

Then it was down the ramp and out on the tarmac and up the stairs into the airplane. Kind of crowded, but it was a two hour or less flight.

Another rainbow!

Approaching the Airport in Grf’lls! The BNSF trestle and the Worden bridge over the Missouri River!

(Sorry the photos are so bad, but they are screen shots from video I was taking and the airplane was a little bumpy coming in!)

I15 crossing under 10th Avenue South.

The GF Terminal.

And the Control Tower. Home again!

Well, if you were keeping track, you’d know what day it was:

One or the other of them will need some serious therapy someday…Happy Halloween!

Day 309/Day 15 – Part 2?

Sunday, November 13, 2022

So after the waterfalls it was lunchtime. We stopped briefly to photograph the monkeepod trees out on the plains…this is cattle country!

Then we went down to Lydgate State Park and parked by the beach to eat the last of the stuff from our refrigerator. It was nice.

A windsurfer.

Birds!

And not to forget:

We spent a couple of hours there in a light rain, then we headed into Lihue to find a nice restaurant for dinner. We tried several, but between it being Sunday and the Island still recovering from the ‘Rona lockdowns, and lot of places just were open, or even there anymore!

So, in what I hope is the last mention of them for a long, long time…we hit up this place for dinner. And no, we didn’t get 10% off for bringing in our own dinner to be cooked…it would have been nice, but…

Then it was off to the airport! The car got turned in a lot quicker than we checked it out, and we wandered over to the departure terminal, only to find Alaska Air was not opening until 7:30…it was 6pm. We couldn’t even go through the agricultural scan until Alaska opened…

Finally Alaska opened, and I got our bags checked for agricultural stuff, then into the Alaska line. The self-kiosks were not working correctly, so we ended up having to go to the counter anyway. Then they don’t take your bags there, you have to drag them down to TSA and leave them there while you go through the scanner. Then there was ANOTHER agricultural scanner before we got to the gate…

But we left on time, and our boarding passes got us on in the second wave, so we didn’t have to fight the crowded aisle!

Looking back:

Looking forwards:

It was going to be a long flight. We were arriving in Seattle at 3:30am Kaua’i time!

Day 309/Day 15 – Part 1?

Sunday, November 13, 2022

We had yet another almost full day on Kaua’i: our plane didn’t leave until after 9pm…this is at the end of the road past our Unit. Another resort we can’t afford, even with our timeshare points!

And then it was back to Hanalei!

Here is a bit of road that was trimmed back while we were there. Lots of places the grass hangs over the fog line.

Then we went back to one of the two waterfalls we saw on our first trip here.

A satellite view:

And what day would be complete without…chickens! And the day was still young…

Then it was off to another waterfall! This time it was Wailua Falls outside of Lihue. The road got a lot more crowded on the edges than this, between the green growth and the many people at the Falls, including some cruise ship people!@
