After the second day of science workshops, doing fun experiments with magnetism, I went to Dad's and booked a flight on the internet to go to Kaua'i. For 40 bucks roundtrip (my great friend Nina let me use her buddy pass for the airlines), can't go wrong. I scheduled it to leave in a few hours, and went to pack a tote bag. Left O'ahu at 5 pm and got in at 5:30 pm. My teacher friend Sharon, who teaches kindergarten in Seattle, was waiting to pick me up at the Lihue Airport.
We went to the grocery store, picked up a bunch of groceries and headed back to the condo to unwind. It's a nice two story condo with two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a nice lanai overlooking the pool and jacuzzi and out towards the ocean, with the waves pounding on the reef. I love the sound of the waves coming in at night.
We ate dinner in and had a nice time catching up about Seattle and teaching.
About Me
- Tanya Mau-Halsall
- I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom. This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
