Memories of Kauai

On our first trip to the Island of Kauai in 1988, my wife who at that time was my Fiancee was bitten by a mosquito on her leg a day or so prior to our return home after spending 10 days in PARADISE. She and I were having the time of our lives and she really wasn't ready to leave and go home. On our departure day we checked out of our resort and headed to the airport. When we arrived we had to go through the Agriculture Inspection station. While I was handling the luggage I looked over to see her with tears in her eyes, pleading with the Inspector that she thought because of the mosquito bite she should be quarantined and be made to stay at least another week in Kauai.

The inspector looked and laughed and told her sorry but she would have to fly home mosquito bite and all but hoped she would come back again soon. Well as things worked out that return trip did happen two years later when we went back to Kauai to spend our honeymoon there.

Since that memorable trip we have been able to return a number of times and have loved every trip but I'll never forget that first trip.
