First day on Kauai

I made it. Im finally here. Awesome! ... i hope.

To start out, heres the view from my window. Since its so bright outside and darker inside the camera kinda confused itself and really underappreciated the colors. There actually was blue-sky out there.



Tell you the truth it hasn't reallly sunk in yet, but the same quote does keep playing in the back of my head. "2 months" .... It's gonna be tough entertaining myself because I don't do good sitting around. 2 months sounds so long to me, still. I keep comparing it to the last 2 months and how I feel about how long those 2 months were. It's not really that long of a time period but when you're alone it can seem like an eternity.

I hope I can get a car so I can go off and do things, what i dont know, but at least the freedom of having the option will be nice. Last time I was car-less... well transportationless I was everything but happy. I'd rather not go back there.

My flight over was long and boring, but uneventful and nothing to really complain about. The plane was literally half full so i had no one around me which was sweeet!.. I was afraid id be stuck next to some fat women with stories to tell but nope, just an empty seat in all directions..so nice.

My layover in honolulu was nice, i went to the bar and got some pizza and a massive budweiser then sat around since the flight over to kauai was delayed.

Weather is nice as perdicted. It's hot n muggy... tho not to hot.. 75ish.. but really it feels a lot hotter, especially now with my laptop roasting my nuts. Always a breeze here and the clouds over the house im staying at are pretty much constantly hanging over.. the island makes its own weather around the old volcano and the clouds never really letgo of it either. This house is up closer to the volcano so it lies under the cloud layer... if you get down to the beaches its blue skies and warmer

I went and met the folks at the flight school here to. Seem nice enough, but transportation there and back is gonna be bad if i dont get a car. its not like my old school where you could hang out. This place is big enough for a few people!! o well, atleast its near a huge shopping area so maybe i will find other things to do while i wait for my rides...

In the mean-time I have nothing but time on my hands. I hope things pick up after i start flying and meeting people. despite all this time on my hands, ive yet to really relax.. im still nervous and anxious about everything but i guess thats normal when your tossed into the unknown so far from home?

Im going to a birtday party tonight, not sure whos but everyone is nice here so i bet ill mingle fine. I'll have to scout out the boo's for support =)

take care, ill probaby be upating this way to often!
