So it's our first day in Kaua'i & I'm ready to take tons & tons of photos of this amazing island, so we drive to Moloa'a Beach where I pull out my camera & snap a couple shots:
*click* *click* *click*
...then nothing.
I try pushing the button again, but nothing. I try changing camera lenses, then batteries, then flashcards, but still nothing. My camera is broken on the first day of vacation & I've only snapped 7 photos.
After a day of being incredibly sad, mad & upset I remembered the title of Chase Jarvis' book:
I sucked it up, grabbed the Power Shot A80 point-and-shoot that was in my suitcase & decided to make the best of my situation. I've gotta say, I think the little one did pretty darn well...

Gorgeous shots! Just goes to show what a pro can do with just any camera ;) Looks beautiful!
Thanks Petra & Courtney! :)
All the pathos and irony of leaving one's youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time.
