Where Have You Been Lately?

My boyfriend took me to Kauai over New Year’s. We stayed on the south shore, in Poipu, in some condos. It was so nice not to have a plan. Kauai is incredible. There are these great mountains. We’d drive to one end of the island and hang out there. The next day we’d drive to the other end of the island. The north shore is really tropical, with tons of plants, really green. The west shore is all dunes, really dry. We had only one rule: We had to get in the ocean every day. Even the day we left, we woke up really early and threw ourselves in the ocean before we got on the plane.

Discovery: The radio in Kauai is great. It’s totally local, like really old-style DJs. We heard a fantastic country and western show that’s on the first Sunday of every month at 1 p.m.
