Kauai, Hawaii January 19-24, 2012

I have so much fun going on the Synergy Retreat every year. The people are so fun. We really have a good time together. We are like a Big Family. How lucky is it to actually like who you work with. Pretty lucky I admit.
As I'm typing this I cannot remember what the hotels name is where we stayed. It was Awesome.

We went on a catamaran ride to the Napali Coast. The sun was out and it was warm and so beautiful. You know that's where the last Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed? On the way back they picked up speed and I didn't want to get wet. I went below and (oh my) I started to get SO SICK! I never get sea sick EVER! I have an iron stomach. Yup my iron stomach totally turned upside down. I still cannot believe I lost my lunch. Thank goodness I wasn't on the other boat. You people that went totally know what I'm talking about. Never again on a catamaran.

I got up early one morning to take sunrise pictures. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I love to sit and watch the sun come up. Usually I would be in bed snoozing away but in Hawaii the time change allows me to enjoy the sunrise.

I wanted to do something a little bit different with my pictures. I made them all about the sun. I love the Hawaiian sun and the warmth in the middle of the winter.

The last day we took a small group and drove around the island. Kauai is the Garden Island and it has the wettest place in the world on top of it's volcano. It also has the Hawaiian Grand Canyon. I don't have any pictures however because I just enjoyed our resort. Here are some from our drive around the island.

I love the tiki torches all over the island, how they light up the night.

We went to the final dinner and enjoyed a lovely sunset.
