If I Hear "We'll Get Through It..." One More Time...

I'm going to smash something. So FANTASTIC news about the already stupid and complicated move...we have to be out of this place May 31st...but can't move into the new place until "June 1st or 2nd". But we'll have new carpet. I'm SO SICK OF THIS!!!! I want a house, but we can't afford one in the stupid bloated jerkface Edmonton (or Alberta, for that matter) housing market. So what the crap would we do if we couldn't put all our stuff in my sister's place for a few days? How the heck to people do this?!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Garden Island.

Firstly, happy Mother's Day to all those mamas out there!!

Russ and I have officially booked our plane tickets (a total of four planes!) and accommodations for our trip to Kaua'i in August, and now we just have to get our butts in gear and get those passports finalized!

I bought the Lonely Planet guide to Kaua'i and have been going through it starring and circling things right and left, and am now starting to get really, totally stoked. A few must see spots for us are:

Wailua Falls
Kauai Coffee Plantation
Kalapaki Beach

We don't want to rent a car, so we went and bought a couple of expedition packs from MEC. We plan on walking from the airport to the place where we are staying, which is about 2km. Russ says that if we can't walk that, we should die...We are planning on renting bikes for the week, and taking one day to rent a pair of scooters so that we can go a bit farther, to see the coffee plantation and other sights. With the money that we will save from not renting a car, we are even considering going skydiving!! Scary, but exciting at the same time! Only three months, twelve days, and seven hours to go...
