HOME SWEET HOME

Almost there. We are that much closer to getting to Hawaii. I am temporarily working on Kauai and I have been here for a week. I am over there over here for another month or so. I get to go home December 12th. Jennifer and Quentin are coming over for Thanksgiving next week. We are going to explore the island a little more. The island we are on is quite small and it shouldn’t take long to explore it, end to end. Here are some pictures I took this last weekend. The island is called the garden island, and I know why. It is very green and lush. This Island is where the movie Jurrasic Park was filmed.

Pictures top to bottom:

Kapaa - the town where we will be looking for a place.

The lush green valleys. This picture was taken near the North shore of the island

The next two are beachs up on the North shore

Gear for the Trip

We finally have completed getting all the gear to climb Kilimanjaro. It took a while and a couple of dollars, but it was wrapped up last night with one final trip to REI. This is the gear that will have to be carried up the mountain. Hurray for porters!!!

I was in Omaha for two weeks going to training for Kiewit. On my way back out, I took a pit stop in Colorado and saw some friends and family. While out there, TJ, Dave and I decided to go camping. We picked Mee canyon due to its impressive Alcove. The trip was three quick days, out and back. It was nice to get a way and relax.

The top picture is Dave stay on an outcrop inside the Alcove.

The bottom picture is camp on the first night. We setup camp under the alcove.

Well, if you have not heard, I have been transferred again with Kiewit. This time the desitnation is Hawaii. We are moving to the island of Kauai. I am leaving on November 11th and will return on December 12th to go to Africa. After we get back from Africa we will be moving. We will be living in the town of Lihue and I will be working on a bridge outside of the town of Kilauea. We will keep everyone posted and our phone numbers will not change.
