A forced slowdown was in order the past two days after I sprained my ankle surfing near Poipu Beach. I was having little problem getting up on the surfboard, my problem came getting off of it in the shallow water. I heard a crack in my ankle when I fell off that sounded like the crack I heard when I broke my arm snowboarding a few years ago. I was nervous, but I knew the pain was not as intense as a broken bone.
I am getting better, but the last two days we have just been hanging out at the beach, yesterday Tunnels Beach on the north shore of Kauai - and that was fabulous. There were only about 20 people on a beach that went on for miles and miles. If you want beaches, and you want privacy - I have not seen an area that is better than Kauai. Period.
Today we are going to find some more beaches, do some shopping and start realizing that we only have a few more days in paradise. Time to really get some sun! JVD

Hey Joe, We’ll be leaving L.A. for 10 days in Kauai on Christmas morning. sounds like we’ll just miss each other.
Sorry to hear about your ankle, but slowing down isn’t bad mr. activitor.
Tomorrow is Savannah with 75 degress. Have a great Christmas and say hi to Danielle!

Dean - The weather’s great here - you are going to have a great time. Danielle and I have been making the most of the far SW corner of the island - no matter what it is sunny and 80 there.
Todd - Have a great break in Savannah!
