Home away from home..........not really!

Hey, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade........so they say!
Well not quite lemonade, but a nice bottle of Shiraz toted along with pajamas, and a few personal items stuffed into an overnight bag.


We're hoping to spend only one night here, just 5 minutes from our home, as Mr. Marriott's guests...........after all we just spent three nights at his fabulous Kauai resort. I have to admit, this Residence Inn does not compare in any way, shape, or form!

Awesome view from our Kauai beachfront suite

The plumber dug deep into the depths of the lovely green lawn, no pipe.  He started over and dug again, for a long time. At last the leaky pipe shot water into the air but dusk was falling, much too late to make repairs so he'll be returning to complete the job and then we can spend more precious time at home. The huge pile of laundry from the trip awaits, the cottage needs a clean and a spruce up, taxes need to be done, bills paid, Bob needs to catch up on his work, and I need to get going and cook low-cal meals so we can knock off the pounds gained while overindulging in delicious Hawaiian food!


We need our water. We obviously don't appreciate how much it means just to turn the faucet and have it gush forth in all its clean wet glory!  We are so spoiled by modern conveniences.
