KAUAI, HAWAII - Day 2
Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy, back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii!
Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
The BeiJing Summer of 2008 Olympics have stuck in my memory for years - and I really wanted to see it at night all lite up!
The Summer Palace is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces from the Qing Dynasty. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
BeiJing, used to be Peking - so we had to have the famous Peking Duck!
