It's the last Aloha Friday in February and Spring is just around the corner. February seemed to just fly by. March will bring some big changes and we are ready to relax and have some peace and quiet.
This week's picture takes everyone back to Kauai and the Red Dirt Waterfall. Enjoy the weekend and have a great Aloha Friday everyone!!!

Jeff, that brings back memories of our 2007 trip. Heck, it might actually be the same waterfall
It is, just different angles and yours is from further back. My wife loves that Waterfall. We were with friends when we found it the first time. This picture is from 2014, I think.
Where is that waterfall? Somehow I missed it in all the years I went to Kauai.

It's on the way up to Waiamea Canyon. We used the Ultimate Kauai guide to find it. You can hardly see it from the road. You have to go over a guard rail and walk to it from the road. It is close to a mile marker sign. I don't remember which one. Some one may answer here with better directions.
Look to the right of the photo and enlarge the photo; then you can see the waterfall.

That explains why I've never seen it. I haven't walked around much up there, only stopped at lookouts and the end point.

You also need to go at a time of the year when there is water flowing. We stopped one time and everything was dry. Interesting to see the dry creek bed, but would have been more interesting with flowing water in it.
It's not far off the roadway. But as I recall, you do need to climb over a guard rail.

Yep, that's right. I have never been there with no water flowing. That may happen more during the dry season?
The picture is deceiving, it's not very big. I have a picture somewhere with my wife standing next to it for a sense of how big it is.
Good morning Jeff, in the land of Paradise.
Jeff, wishing you your first Happy Aloha Friday, in the Month of March 2022.
A few months ago you were planning your retirement. Now you are planning how to stay busy. LOL

Happy Aloha Friday everyone!! Today I have been retired for 1 month.
Looks to be a beautiful Aloha Friday. We may even get the car washed today. Since it's our first Aloha Friday since we moved to Molokai, this week's photo is from the Kamehameha V Hwy just east from our condo. It's just a little ways past where the road narrows down to one lane. Enjoy and have a great Aloha Friday everyone.

Since yesterday, I am feeling a bit better and my kidney stone is either passing or at least not bothering me. We may stop into Kaunakakai town to go to the Hardware store to pickup a few things or we'll stay home. Tune will tell.

It's Aloha Friday!! Many friends on the mainland will Spring forward for Daylight Savings time this weekend. The weekend looks to be a great one.
This week's picture takes us back to Maui. We are overlooking the Lahaina Harbor. Enjoy and have an awesome Aloha Friday.

Alright these Aloha Fridays are hard to keep track of now that I'm retired. I keep having to ask Kim what day it is.
After I asked her what day it was yesterday, I was able to get a picture ready. We have a cloudy Aloha Friday so far here on Molokai but it's still going to be a good day.
This week's picture takes us back to Oahu when we stayed at the Rainbow Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village over Christmas.
Have an awesome Aloha Friday everyone!!

Your posting and making a point of Happy Aloha Friday shows that you are a newly retired person and still look at Friday as a big deal since it is the end of the work week. After you are retired for awhile you will not only forget its Friday you will start looking at it as just another day of the week.
However, one of the things that we find being retired with 7 days off a week is that Saturday and Sunday become really a pain in the neck particularly when either Friday or Monday are Holidays. Certain businesses are closed, Offices that you need to contact to ask a question about a bill, charge, and some customer service organizations are closed. Some Doctor's Offices are closed. Stores are busier. As you have previously mentioned some locations close up on Sundays.
When you are working in a regular Monday-Friday job you so look forward to the weekend. Now we just look at Saturday and Sunday as days of the week that we can't get certain things done.

Yes, I gave already discovered that about the weekend. It's even more si here on Molokai where most places are closed on Sunday.
We are even finding the best times to travel to Kaunakakai town. We have been caught behind the School bus dropping kids off in the afternoon a couple times. We try to avoid that now when planning our trip.
Yes, Aloha Friday doesn't mean as much as before but we still love when we hear the song on the radio. It's still uplifting and a state of mind.

As you mentioned Molokai is much more laid back than Honolulu so you may not get to feel this way. When we worked we would think about NOT tying up our valuable Weekend Days since those were the ones which you didn't have to go to work. Now we think about NOT tying up our week days when the stores are less busy, doctor's offices are open for calls and appointments, customer service organizations are open for calls; some of which are in Eastern Time Zone so they close at 10 or 11AM Hawaii Time.

Yes, since we moved, we have been working getting the condo set up the way my wife wants. In doing so we have had to get some incidentals so we have been making many trips into town. We have ordered a lot on Amazon too but some of those deliveries include a trip to town to pick the packages up at the Post office.
Once we are settled we will try to limit trips to town to twice a week. That will depend on what's going on. We are trying to avoid weekend trips since it is more crowded in town then.
How far do you have to drive into town?
