First Morning on Molokai

On Saturday morning, Noel left me in our Tentalow while he headed back on the road to the Lodge and an appointment to get a massage. I checked the beach for more Monk Seals (no luck) and then had breakfast at the Tentalow dining area. Noel said he had waist-high “huge turkeys” hounding him for his food when he ate earlier, but by the time I arrived they must have corralled them or something because I was pleasantly surrounded by these not-so-timid birds. After breakfast, I grabbed my book and sat in the shade near the beach, waiting for Noel to finish up at the Lodge. Not one to enjoy sitting around the beach, even with a book in my hands, I found myself saying over and over how bored I was, and how Noel better get there quickly so we could head off! Later I realized it had been a huge mistake not to join Noel up at the Lodge and go swimming in their pool. It was a very small pool by Hawaii hotel standards, but oh-so inviting! I blew it as we wouldn’t have time for the rest of the weekend.
