well i survived yet another day of overwhelming shopping, this time with jim along. he had sticker shock when we were through and was surprised how exhausting it is…..We all were up early with a lot of commotion and discussion about food provisions. We discussed eating preferences and meal plans and such and finally Jim and I were off to Kapa’a and Lihue for the big shopping spree. Fabulous health food store, Papaya’s for sprouting seeds then on to Borders’s books in Lihue. We spent way too much time there and I can’t believe how many books we bought and I’m thinkin’ where are they going to go on the boat.
Costco was a trip seeing so many unfamiliar foods in bulk. In the scramble to get out of there the keys got locked in the trunk and thus began the tension of trying to get phone numbers to call. AAA card phone number (which I had with me, ha!) was for California and it took forever to get transferred to Kauai. I couldn’t remember the name of the car rental (dead brain by this point) but finally got them on the phone and they sent a very nice elderly gentleman to unlock the car and it only cost $25!
Wal-Mart and Safeway were the last two stops and needless to say we were exhausted when we got back, just in time for dinner at Postcards in Hanalei. Wonderful food and a big thanks to Bob, Lori and Rachel who picked up the tab.
Surprise of the day, aside from the key incident, was spotting a wild pig (boar?) with it’s babies foraging in the bushes at Wal-Mart.

by the way, there are very few pictures because of the high level of frustration and it's not a pretty sight. the pigs, on the other hands, too bad we couldn't get a better shot, but really really really they are there in that awful picture.
