It sits next to our journal from driving cross country after college in the 1980s. My wife still has the journal from her Spring Break trip to Florida. Travel journals have been important in my family since before we were married. Our travel journals are kept there above out photo albums where theoretically we could grab them in our hurry out the front door should our house ever catch fire. We have a bookshelf in our living room where we keep some of our most cherished possessions. While my wife wrote the words above, our clothes still were covered with the red clay mud of Kauai.

We had started what was supposed to be a short hike to a waterfall but had turned into an overland adventure when we started from the wrong parking lot. The above paragraph was written in our travel journal in the safety of our Kauai hotel room on the evening after our misadventure on that beautiful island.

All the while we were thinking “I’m really surprised the guidebook called this an easy family hike”. So we traveled on, as the ground got muddier and the trail got steeper, until we were climbing hand over hand, over logs, up steep slopes. But surely, we thought, the view at the end must be spectacular. There were some pretty views, but not much different than we’d seen from the overviews. The first half-mile was a good bit rockier and muddier than we’d expected. We were soon thinking this wasn’t quite what we had expected. We found the trail marking for a one mile hike and set off happily, humming a little tune. Little did we know what we were getting into. After driving to a few lookouts we came to the end of the road and set off on what we thought was an “easy one mile family hike”.
