dear kauai,

listen, i really want to come and see you, but i can't.

in a couple of weeks when every grown woman in our family comes knocking on your door for a week, it's going to be fun. these ladies need a break. i know you will be nice to them. serve them with warm sunny days and lava flows. make sure the water is calm and inviting. tell the roosters and coconut shrimp to greet them with open arms.
here is my problem. in the next few months many things are going to change for me and my little family. i am going to have to fly from sea to shining sea to get things done. i have too much on my plate/mind to come try to relax on the beach for a week. i am sorry. i really am. maybe next time. maybe when i don't have a crawling 9 month old or when i am not worrying about a house or moving or going for immigration medicals or can comfortably squeeze into a swimsuit. you see, honestly i would probably be a pretty junky travel partner and who needs that?

maybe next time. there will always be one.

sincerely, jessica

Just bad timing Jess. Lots on your plate right now. Probably a good choice. Kauai will always be there. Personally I would like to be re-introduced to that old friend as well.
