Kauiai was Ab-Fab

We did it, and we survived the flights. Let me tell you flying with a kid on oxygen and in a wheelchair is no easy feat. But we had great help and admiration from many flight attendants and many other passengers. Arianna did so well on all four flights, never once complaining. I however was a bit cramped sitting in the middle seat, Arna got the window because she was in a car seat and for safety and evac purposes that was the best place.
The island was beautiful and warm, so lush and green. Our hotel room had a great view of the ocean and you could hear the waves crashing! The beaches are pristine and the water was warm enough that Arna took a dip. We mostly played in the pool so that we could keep the water out of her nose, how do you explain to docs that your kid aspirated sea water! Kenna is a natural in the water, I had a local tell me she would be great on a surf-broad, she wasn't to keen on the idea yet. We had a Monk Seal that liked to hang out on the same beach with us sunning himself, Kenna loved to just watch him.
We took a hike with Arna in a pack on Matt's back, she laughed to whole 2 1/2 miles. It was on the cliff coast line, the only way to get to ship-wreck beach and the great shell hunting. Kenna only complained on the hike back, she had got her shells and wanted to be back in the car.
We got Kenna to snorkel at Lydgate park, very calm waters due to the man made wave break. We ate fabulous local food, my fav was the Kahlua Pork.
Kenna found a coconut and we tried to bring it home, but it had bugs and the USDA would not let us take it, that's ok Kenna still thought it was cool to have one for a little while.
We did some shopping and a lot of relaxing and enjoying the company of our family. I say a huge thank you to Marilyn, this truly was the greatest gift for us all. to be able to celebrate the birthdays of two very special women in our lives. Thanks for the trip, we will never forget!

I have many pics and videos to share, and will do as soon as my computer gets fixed.

Upon arriving home I learned that sweet Lily had gone to be with Jesus and her big sister Charlotte on Sunday morning. Our hearts are broken, and she will be missed. Thank you sweet girl for sharing your sweet spirit with us all. Please pray for comfort and peace for her parents and family.
