Our second round on Kauai was nothing like our first. It wasn't as exciting and eventful. We basically sold jewelry some more for a while. Then we rented a little place and lived there. It was a more normal kind of place in a neighborhood, and had civilized comforts. We had our friends still from before, and life was quiet and simple. That was about it.
After about another 1 1/2 years, we were ready to go. The total time we were on Kauai was 3 years. 1 1/2 years, then a summer break on the mainland, and then another 1 1/2 years. We left and I never went back.

Now....
It is now 35 years later. I am 58 with a 21 year old daughter. Somehow, after all this time I am going back to Kauai with my daughter. She is basically the age I was when I first went there. I am going in a few weeks. I have no idea how it will be. I can hardly believe it. It was my idea. When she said she wanted to go to a massage school somewhere warm, I suggested Kauai. I have been out of touch with the place all these years. In the last year, 2 old friends, from my time there contacted me on facebook, and made me think about it. Now beautiful Kauai seems to be calling me back. I am hopeful it will be a good experience for us both. I am very much into natural healing, and there seems to be an emphasis on that there these days. Aloha!
