Shin and Alexis stayed up late the night before the trip to clean the apartment and to finish packing. We didn't get to sleep until 2AM on Wednesday night, and Shin was up by 5am the next morning to start some laundry and to make coffee. Alexis woke up soon after, and after some last minute cleaning, we were ready to leave San Francisco. We drove down to San Jose to Shin's parents house so Shin's mom could drive us to San Jose airport. On the way down, we stopped off in Menlo Park to drop off our apartment keys with Adele (Adele was nice enough to be our cat-sitter while we're away.). Shin's mom drove us to the airport, and after a quick bite to eat, we were off to Los Angeles for our layover. Then after another short wait, we were on our way to Lihue! At this point, we were both really tired and we tried to sleep most of the flight. Although we both got some shut eye on the flight to Lihue, it seemed to last forever.
Once we arrived in Lihue, I noticed that the weather was very pleasant. Mid 70's with light to moderate humidity. We picked up our rental car, and off we went to the Sheraton in Poipu. As soon as we drove up, someone opened Alexis' car door and gave her a nice lei made of orchids (Shin didn't get anything : ( ). At the front desk, we requested an upgrade, and they offered us a much nicer room on the ocean side of the hotel. They said it was much nicer than the garden side. After a short walk, we got to our room, and Shin immediately looked out the window. Unfortunately, it was pitch black, so we he couldn't see anything. I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what this island looks like.
