Aloha! After an early bedtime, awoke at 5 am and after coffee walked to the end of the street (Laie Point) for sunrise - nothing too spectacular, but wonderful morning air and never tire of watching the waves smash against the rocks. Breakfasted on fresh papaya and pineapple, English muffins, and orange marmalade. After communal time with Chester and Garfield on the lanai, Bill and I walked down to our beach for some morning sun. A snack lunch, then snooze time - Bill on the bed, Rob on the lounge on the lower lanai - savoring our last day in Laie. We then rallied and made a last trip north to Laniakea Beach to check for basking sea turtles. Yes! Today a 35-year old female was there snoozing in the sunshine. Such amazing creatures to see (life span is apx 80 years!)
We then walked along this most beautiful beach, enjoying the warm sunshine (was overcast when we left Laie and we were delighted to find the sun again on the northwest shore). We then ventured on a road upcountry to the hillside overlooking Sunset Beach area - pretty amazing view, very windy roads, and some very nice homes. We then motored down, arriving at Ted's Bakery 5 minutes before closing for great beef teriyaki and teriyaki burger. On the way back to Laie we ran into a downpour as has happened before on this stretch of road. Home again, listening to the sound of the waves one last night and saying goodnight to the boys, Chester and Garfield (two of our fav kitty-cats). Tomorrow we head for Waikiki for one last night before returning home - the loads were pretty heavy tomorrow, so have extended our vacation for one more day - YES!
