accommodations

We've discovered that a six weeks ahead of time is too little time to find a good place to stay on Kauai. All the best places are gone, of course. You'd think they would have been gone formonths, but some are free just before or after we're going to be there. We started looking at cottages. Wanted someplace comfortable, clean and affordable and a kitchen(ette). Also one or more of: a great view, spacious, pretty interior, privacy, solitude. Looks like we may not get anything from the latter list without sacrificing affordability (affordability is relative already). But I know we can get soemplace for cheap. And like Cindy said, we go camping, so what do we need comfort for, as long as the place is cheap and close to where we want to be? Well actually, since we'll be there for a week, I'd really like some comfort.

Cindy was getting kind of upset at not finding any place. But I think a big part of that was the timing. We spent a couple of days on this already, chose a bunch of places, and now we had to spend another night on it. and it feels like time is running out.

Or do we give up something else for a little nice place? Like a boat tour or a helicopeter ride? Or just go for broke? Literally.

But like I said, I'm sure we'll get a place, and I'm sure it will be fine. I was hoping for perfect, but oh well. ;-)

Yeah, I think I've seen *all* the B&B's on Kauai. :-D We started with cottages, then B&B's, then condos. There's a lot of overlap between them.

Yeah, not worried about the car. In a few days.

Want me to check availability and see if I can find anything? I still have connections at the travel agency .. let me know your dates and I can have a look to see if I can find something for the entire time you're there.

I think we're okay. I know there's at least one decent place that's open. If we don't get answers from any others, we can take that one. But thank you for offering!

No worries!
