Honeymoon in Hawaii: Part 2 Kauai

This was my favorite part of the honeymoon. It was beautiful and relaxing. It had a very laid back atmosphere. It was also my favorite because we were staying at a place that had a bar by the pool. There were two things that happened in Kauai that stand out in my memory. The first was golfing. I don't golf but Leo does or at least he did. Rather than sit at the pool the whole day by myself (which is funny because I'd kill to do that now), I went with him and sat in the cart, in hopes of driving the cart. Leo talked me into it by saying the scenery was going to be beautiful and I could write in my book. He was right and I wish I would  have taken more advantage of the whole thing and written more about the scenery. We were paired up with another golfer named Herb. He looked a little like Mr. Spacely from the Jetsons. He was a very nice guy but if I remember correctly, he liked to talk (not something good when you are trying to golf or write) and didn't mind even talking to himself. While golfing, Leo kept wanting me to take the camera out and shoot video of him golfing. I'd take it out, point the video at him swing and then try and find the minuscule image of the golf ball in the air. Leo would then say, "Did you get it?" After the fifteenth time, and never once seeing the ball in the air, I told him I wasn't doing it anymore. Around that same time (and I did drive the cart a few times), we were going through an especially hilly area and driving the cart was getting harder (I let Leo do that part). Leo asked Herb if he was okay because his cart sputtered a little bit or he took a turn too sharply or something that made Leo say, "How's it going over there?" Herb replied, "Uh...I'm fine. I am pretty good at driving these carts. I golf a lot and one thing I am good at is driving these carts." We were behind him and Leo was still on the green and Herb was going ahead. Right at that moment, if you can imagine the cart going off the trail and falling off the side of the hill, then you can see what happened to Herb's cart. It was a little like boop, boop, boop, crash. It wasn't a big hill but once he went over, I couldn't see him anymore. Leo came running and being the humanitarian that he is, before going to help Herb, he stopped by our cart and said, "Please tell me you got that on video!" I didn't. Herb was fine but a lot of people had to come and rescue the cart.

The next memory I have of Kauai was the night there was a storm. We were in bed sleeping when all of a sudden we heard a huge crash. I freaked and told Leo to go see what it was. He, of course, would not move. I thought it was someone breaking in. You hear, all the time, about people breaking into hotel rooms. He said because we were on the third floor, it was no one breaking in. I was too afraid to go and look myself so stayed in bed scared. I tried a few more times to no avail. The next morning, I woke up covered in mosquito bites. We walked into the other room and the screen door that I didn't realize Leo left open to have the breeze come in blew off. He, on the other hand, did not have one single bite! Second married fight.
