Home for a week

Some random pictures from our Kauai vacation

On Sunday night last week, I was so excited to start a new week and get back to real life after a week of jet lag and a sore throat. But then shit happens (literally). Thor had tummy problems and it’s been going on all week. I have been running out several times with him every day. Sometimes it’s false alarm, but we still need to go out. So, I have been home almost all week. Bored? Yes. We were thinking about spending the weekend in the city, but since the pup hasn’t been feeling too awesome all week, we skipped that. Yup, fun life of puppy parents. I’m still super congested so I took this weekend to try to recover. Hopefully this cold goes away soon.
Ok, enough about this shitty story. Now, I am excited to start a new week tomorrow. And this will kinda be the real start of this year. Wohoo!
Who else is excited about this year? 

Some of my favorites from Kauai

It is sooooo hard to just pick a few favorite things, cause every single thing we did on this trip was awesome. I have so many pictures I can share and it’s really hard to choose.
Wailua Falls was of course the most memorable thing for me (the picture above). But the helicopter ride is hard to top, all the different trails that we hiked was of course special in their own way, the Hindu Monastery had the most breathtaking view and the Polihale State Park was the most peaceful place we visited during this vacation.
More updates to come:)

Woke up in a snowy Stamford

We are back in Stamford. It felt like a very long trip from the island and home. Maybe because we didn’t actually wanna go home:) Our time in Kauai was absolutely amazing. We were pretty active and now we need a vacation from our vacation, haha. My body is sore and tired, but mostly in a good way. The sore muscles are from doing fun things and seeing wonderful views so it makes it ok. 

It was cold when we came back yesterday but not as bad as I thought it would be. This morning, after 10 hours of sleep (which felt awesome), I woke up by the very loud noises outside and after Jim came back inside after taking Thor out I asked him what was going on outside. Snow blowers. Apparently it had snowed all night. There was no snow at all on the ground when we landed and I think Stamford had a little higher temperatures when we were gone. Now we are back to cold degrees and snow. But it’s ok. It actually looks pretty outside and I have a million warmer pictures to look at on my computer. I will share some of them with you guys of course:) 

LA

Another coffee picture:)

We arrived in LA a bit earlier and then hung out in the virgin clubhouse for 1.5 hour. The coffee wasn’t the greatest and I have to say that the lounge at JFK was better in terms of food.

We’re on the plane now. Bigger plane and a bit more room. The first flight was not comfortable at all. The person in front of me pushed her seat back and I could not move at all. Jim had a kid sleeping on his shoulder haha. On this flight we sit in a two seat which is nice and more space which helps my sore knees and back.

In 6 hours or so we are back in the cold. I threw away my muddy shoes and only have sandals, it will definitely be cold:)
