Welcome to Minneapolis
Land of 10,000 (Refreshing) Lakes

It's summer.

It's the best place in the world to be.  The City of Lakes, Bikes and Beer are in active form and the fleshy, shirtless Minnesotans remind us of this.

As long as my wireless covers the back porch, I'll keep you in the loop of this wonderment.

Kauai

The day to day countdown is officially on for Aly and my trip to Kauai.

We've been researching recommended hikes and recipes for mai tais.

If this doesn't make you want to want to but your life on screen saver, I don't know what does.

Pulled from Frommers.com - even better that it was coded as nightlife:

Some insist on viewing the sunset with a locally made tropical mai tai. The entire day can be built around the sunset - shopping for the mai tai ingredients, checking the angle of the sun, and swimming with the knowledge that your big, salty thirst will soon be quenched with a tall, homemade mai tai on one of the world's best beaches.

When the sun is low, mix your tropical drink using fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, passion-orange-guava juice, and fresh grapefruit juice, if possible.

Pour this concoction on ice in a tall, frosty glasses and then add Meyer's rum (got to love the product placement), in which Tahitian vanilla beans have been soaking for days.


That's all the convincing we needed to keep our head above water for the next three weeks.
