Nawiliwili Harbor, Island of Kauai, Hawaii: Honolulu on Oahu is a big metropolitan city with warm, humid weather. Kauai’s main town Lihui is a small city or big village, by comparison.
Kauai has the same warm weather as Oahu and is even wetter, but has no high rises and much less population and development ... a slower pace, too. Many prefer it for that reason. I find it a tad too rainy for my taste.
My favorite part of Hawaii is the Kona coast of the big island of Hawaii. It is substantially dryer than either Kauai or Oahu, or even Hawaii’s wet side by Hilo.
We went in town today, took the free “crew bus” to Walmart to do some shopping. When there is a ship in port Walmart pays for the bus which brings them 25 new customers every half hour. Because of where the store is located the customers don’t wander off.
Passengers are welcome on the bus too, of course. It isn’t altruism, just good business on Walmart’s part.
A follow-up on the fire in our NorCal region. Not only is the power off, the utility company - PG&E - is saying it may take up to 3 months to get it restored. If that is the case our property on a well pumped by electricity isn’t going to be functional. We’ll have to take our RV and go live where things are less chaotic.
