I had the best Valentines day. I had been planning this for weeks and all I told my girlfriend was to take some vacation time off. Now and that I had a trip planned to last her a lifetime. I packed a bag for her and told her to dress for warm weather because when we hit our destination she was going to appreciate it, but I still wouldn’t tell her where we were going. She figured it out though because they announced it in the airport. I guess I didn’t think that part through all the way.
We arrived in Kauai, Hawaii a two days before Valentines day and can I just say, all we managed to do was go to the hotel and passed out we were so tired from the trip. We had gotten in late afternoon and the warm air, and having woken up early and flown across the continent, we slept all night. When we woke up the next morning I had a plethora of activities planned for us. We rented beach bikes and bought some cheap snorkels and rode along the beach to an area that didn’t have so many people. We got off our bikes and just swam around. It was absolutely gorgeous and she loved all the fish we saw. That evening, we we went to a huge Luau on the beach and met up with some other tourists who told us about all the activities in Hawaii. They had been coming here for years and had stayed on all the islands. Finally when we were too tired to think anymore, much less dance, we went to bed.
The next morning was Valentines day and I told her we were going for a hike. I was once told that Wailua Falls is the most romantic spot in the world. She said she would pack a picnic basket and that we could make a day of it. I hadn’t planned on that, but it seemed like a great idea to me. It really was the most romantic spot I’d ever been, and getting there was a beautiful little hike. It seemed like it was now or never, so I got on one knee and asked her to marry me. Everything was perfect and she said yes as long as next year it is on one of the Hawaii cruises so we can see all the islands next time.
