Sea View Condo

Had a hard time staying in bed until 0600 local time this morning since my body clock said it was 0900. Finally got up in the last of the night and watched the sun gradually smile upon our condo courtyard.

A peaceful morning with only a few vacationers up and about.

We got in after the office closed last night so had to go check in this morning after they opened at 0800. With that detail out of the way, we made a shopping list and headed out to Costco and Safeway for the week's supplies. After bringing up the groceries, I decided to refresh my spirit by wandering the grounds checking out the tropical flowers and other sights.

I think this is the largest Hibiscus flower I've seen.

These smell as sweet as the nearby Plumeria.

This young Plumeria is already starting to bloom.

Our condo is the one on the top right in this photo.

Pool umbrellas with changing rooms to the rear.

This view is to the left of the one above with pool, hot tub and ocean. Kailua Bay is in the middle distance.

End of the day, at least for early risers like me.
