Catchy title eh?<\/p>\n

Now that you are here, let me tell you about Kauai, my new home.\u00a0 It’s a great place with a lot of great people.\u00a0 Kids are seen playing in the streets and people walk their dogs and stop by for a chat.\u00a0 We arrived in May and then June turned muggy, July muggier and now August just plain mugly.\u00a0 There was supposed to be trade winds keeping everything in check, but I think they lied, just a joke on us haole’s (white people) to watch us melt.\u00a0 The bad thing is we have no A\/C so an 88 degree day with 70% humidity is a like a summer day on a Dallas paved asphalt road suntanning nude.\u00a0 So today we went to the Kealia Beach to cool off and the water was refreshing, but I did expect to see a large number of bikini clad hot Hawaiians.\u00a0 Instead my wife was treated to a hot Hawaiian male only day on the beach as the surfers hung ten (surfer slang).\u00a0 Get your mind out of the gutter.<\/p>\n

\"Waves\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are anxiously looking at the weather reports to see if tropical storm Kilo will materialize into hurricane Kilo. We have watched storms Guillermo and Hilda pass not causing any problems, but each time we had hoped for some cooling rains and winds.\u00a0 No such luck.\u00a0 We take two showers a day now and then stand around naked in front of a fan.\u00a0 Hey, I stated very clearly in the post title I was one very hot Hawaiian, although really I am nothing more than a sweaty haole.<\/p>\n

For the most part I have found native Hawaiians to be very special people.\u00a0 They are very family oriented and friendly, as long as you respect them and their way of life.\u00a0 I saw a bumper sticker that says it all, “Adapt or get slapped.” If you have seen some of the Hawaiian men (like my wife has – wink, wink) you don’t want to get slapped.\u00a0 They are big and strong!<\/p>\n

My yard guy brings me exotic Asian food from which I’ve gained a few pounds.\u00a0 Costco carries a premixed Mai Tai so you can get straight to relaxing.\u00a0 Our neighbor invites us over for cocktail hour, and others bring us Avocado, Apple Banana, Lychee, Longan, Limes, etc.\u00a0 They also provide me with free plant cuttings to begin a tropical garden.<\/p>\n

Is it a perfect paradise as I thought it would be?\u00a0 For the most part it has met all my expectations. Now if the mugly weather would end and the trade winds return then there would be no complaints.\u00a0 Aloha!<\/p>\n
