Day 5, Part 1, Friday March, 27th
Today started with an early wakeup call of 6 am! Yikes!
But I had stuff to do! I got myself showered and ready and got DH up. Then I started packing up our stuff! Without the 3 kiddos and all their stuff and all the stuff they acquire over a trip it was much, much easier!
I hate packing up to go home. Not just because it involves going home, but because its such a daunting task! A weeks worth of dirty clothes and crap! UGH! But this wasnt bad at all!
I soon found that we were ready and with time to spare!
Then we had nothing else to do but wait! We had an 8:30 am ADR at Kona Café! We hung in the room for a while and watched the morning news, DH could watch the news 24/7.
I sat down on the ottoman for the chair next to our doors out and soon had a visitor!
This was one ginormous goose! I swear to you that it was 3 ½ feet tall! HUGE and beautiful and apparently really wanting to come in our room and visit us!
It sat at the door and squawked at me! Crazy goose! I mean really squawked loudly! It really wanted in! It watched me for like 10 minutes! It was really starting to freak me out and I certainly wasnt going to open the door! So much for sitting outside that morning! But in looking out the door I noticed something I hadnt before
From our room you could see the tops of BTMMR and SM! Cool!
Soon it was time to go to breakfast at Kona! For some reason we had decided to leave our stuff in the room and go back for it after breakfast and then call bell to take the luggage. There was a reason for this but for the life of me I cant think of it.
So we were off to Kona! We walked over and were seated immediately! There were very few people in the restaurant! But I guess it was still early.
Our waiter soon arrived and we ordered!! I believe DH got the 2 eggs your way breakfast and I, of course, got Tonga Toast! We also ordered our drinks, DH got a tea and I got, again of course, my very own press pot of Kona Coffee!
Our drinks arrived super quick and the waiter told me hed be back in a few minutes to press the coffee as it wasnt ready yet. Boo! I totally get the coffee not being ready! I love me a press pot of coffee at home from time to time, of those of you who love coffee and dont own a French press I highly recommend it! The coffee, even if its not Kona Coffee, is sooo rich an flavorful! Anyway, but the waiting thing was like torture! It was 8:35ish, Id been up for over 2 and ½ hours and had not 1 drop of coffee!! Truth be told I had a can of Diet Coke in the room but I needed coffee! Here on our table right in front of my eyes was a wonderful pot full of what I knew was probably the best coffee ever and I couldnt have it yet! Mean!!!
The clock ticked and ticked and I thought of pressing it myself and just drinking it. But I knew good things do actually come to those who wait. I was just having a hard time with that!
Finally the waiter came back!! I swear he told me 3 minutes and be waited 5!!! Meany! DH asked if he could press the pot and I told DH that it had to be done the right way! The waiter agreed and explained to DH that if you do it too fast not only could the pot explode (not sure about that one) but the coffee wont taste as good. Hands off my coffee DH, let the expert do it! So the waiter pressed it and poured me a cup! OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH YUMMMMMMMY!!!!
That is some good coffee!!! Yummy, yummy, yummy! Again, and many times throughout the meal, I thought about buying a pound but $44 a pound seemed insane, even to me!
Our meals soon arrived and WOW! Kona is one good breakfast! The Tonga Toast was sooooo good! There really is no way to describe it! You really have to try it for yourself! Just thinking about it now makes me hungry! It is a huge amount of food though and I think I ate ¼ of it! Its very heavy and I knew I had to watch it with the amount of food I eat at breakfast

. DH really enjoyed his meal too!! I highly recommend a Kona breakfast!!!
We were soon finished and I asked our waiter for a cup to took some Kona on the road with us. The pot is made for 2 people and its very strong coffee, I had 2 cups at the table and was about to take 1 on the road. Hmmm, was that a good idea?! Well, I was a bit afraid Id get the jitters. But I was willing to risk it! I know enough about my body to know that if I drink too much coffee some water will counter act the jitters quickly!
So, with a cup of yummy Kona Coffee in hand we headed to our room to pick up our stuff!
We made a quick trip into our room and called bell service. Bell service arrived very quickly and took our bag and then we were off to TTC!
We decided to ride the boat over to MK since they were just boarding a boat and could walk right on! Soon we were off and headed to MK!
I was looking at Poly out the window of the boat and what do I see but my friend the goose chasing, yes chasing, a lady down the beach!!!! Holy cow!!! Chasing this poor lady!!! She kinda kicked at it and luckily for her it flapped away down the beach! YIKES! Attack goose!
We soon found ourselves at the MK boat dock and headed inside!!
