Keto in Kauai....

     We're in Kauai this week with our sons and thoroughly enjoying our time here. The island is beautiful, and we are staying in a lovely place loaded with amenities. There's a pool, exercise room, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything we need. While waiting for our check-in time, we accidently stopped at a really great place to eat that is a little close to the airport, and it is wonderful! It's called the Good Times Sports Bar and Grill. This is a great place to eat. Moreover, there is a breakfast place we enjoyed called Daddy O's. I like eggs benedict because I can eat everything but the bread, and it's rich and yummy. While I realize that much of my blog posts focus on foods, it is because I am creating a keto way of life that does not feel deprived. After all, I intend to permanently continue this style of eating. It is helping me in many ways. Therefore, surrounding each day with enjoyable meals no matter where I find myself is very important. Steve and I spend our days walking and plan to visit several top-rated hiking trails. We've hiked a trail leading to a beach close to our Airbnb. It's called Wyllie's Beach Trail.  The hike down to the beach was steep, making the hike up daunting for me. Steve and Jake found it easy, so it looks like I need to do some practicing climbing. It seems the stair stepper is my next best exercise plan. I shall also spend time doing more yoga. We planned to visit the Queen's Bath trail and were told its a fantastic experience. However, given the dangers of the area and the difficulty of the trail, we decided to miss this one.  Another trail that we hiked called Nounou Kuamoo was a very good hike, and much easier for me.  We spent one afternoon at Tunnels Beach, a very lovely space but dangerous for swimming due to riptides.  Kauai is beautiful. We've really enjoyed staying in Princeville, but I must say that timeshare-type organizations appear to have taken over the housing. The roadways are private and also controlled by timeshare and other tourist-type corporations. Moreover, these groups also control access to the beaches and even block all possible views. It's very disheartening to see this beautiful island overtaken by corporations and remote from the beautiful native Hawaiian culture. So, while Kauai is beautiful, We prefer our Waianae life on the island of Oahu, warts and all.  However, for now, we are really comfortable in our unit. It is lovely and peaceful but contrived like the other spaces on this side of the island. I'm delighted I came here, but I think this is my last visit to Kauai.
