Cranky Get-away Part IV
Kauai
The final
leg of our Cranky get-away was the garden island Kauai. The first day we did a beach snorkel trip. Mrs. C does not snorkel, but she figured she
would just enjoy the beach and the sun. Turned out the beach was more rock than sand
and water entry was in only one small slippery spot, so wading was not an option.
Now Mrs. C
could have opted to snorkel as it turned out that was the real purpose of the
excursion, but she is not a very good swimmer and seldom even gets her hair
wet. She found a small spot of sand
under a tree and got some sun and a nap while the rest of us watched fish. There was not a single complaint and she even
claimed she had a good time.
Mrs. C is a
trooper!
The snorkeling
was excellent, I enjoyed it more than the snorkeling I have done off the usual catamaran
trip.
The next day
was a boat ride up a river to visit a lovely grotto. It was nice, but it was a grotto, no biggie,
but I really enjoyed the Hawaiian music and hula dancing during the trip.
Back on the
boat for one final afternoon before leaving for home, we enjoyed a cocktail and
entertainment around the pool. The entertainment
director then announced a “Most Sexy Leg” contest, and Mrs. C nominated me.
Incredibly
enough I did not win. I did make it to
the second round where we were required to give our best “Tarzan” yell, a
pretty stupid requirement for a “Sexy Leg” contest in my opinion, but what the
heck. Apparently, they wanted an actual Tarzan
swinging-through-the-trees kind of yell.
Instead I just hollered as loud as I could,
“TARZAN!”
Anyway, I
lost.
That’s it
for the trip, there is a little more, we did visit Pearl Harbor before we took
the plane home, but I sense some blogging boredom so I am ending it here.
Well, there
is this clip of Cranky flashing his legs in a losing contest effort.
I was robbed
I tell ya!
Mahalo and Alooooha!
Sounds - and looks, considering the legs - like a great trip. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteYou might have had a better chance in the sexy leg contest if you hadn't covered up part of your legs with white socks! I certainly hope you weren't penalized for your TARZAN yell, because technically, it WAS a TARZAN yell.
ReplyDeleteYes, you were robbed, and i hope you don't let it ruin the memories of what sounds like a great trip.
ReplyDeleteWow - the dance steps alone were enough for the win. I cant believe you lost.
ReplyDeleteThe garden island is my favorite island.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video. You should have won.
Have a fabulous day, Joe. 🎄🎄🎄
Laughed out loud at your Tarzan yell and I am sure the crowd laughed too.
ReplyDeleteYou had some moves there Cranky, don't see why you didn't win.
I think the fix was in!!
ReplyDeleteYou yelled "Tarzan"??? For that - and the butt wiggle - you should have at least received honorable mention! At least!
