Mar 17 2011: Customer service agent at Alamo Rent-a-Car, Lihue airport. She had some bad news... http://t.co/QUxlABV [view in context] 3443
Mar 17 2011: Under cover of darkness, you can camp in places that would be obvious during the day. You just have to clear out before dawn. 3444
Mar 17 2011: ...Turns out my car rental reservation is for TOMORROW. Car is my lodging, so looks like I'll be CAMPING tonight... with no equipment! 3445
Mar 17 2011: Leaving Alamo now, as darkness falls. (And darkness falls quickly in the tropics.) First task: hide my bags and head to Wal-Mart! 3446
Mar 17 2011: ++++ Begin LIVE TWEETING of my unexpected camping experience on Kauai, Hawaii. 3447
Mar 17 2011: This is the place! (Geotags turned off for security purposes.) Invisible both day and night! http://t.co/9hFRDaF 3448
Mar 17 2011: The Kauai bus system. This will serve my transportation needs tomorrow. 50 cents to Walmart. $2 to Hanalei! http://t.co/EryyWnb 3449
Mar 17 2011: I seriously doubt the sincerity of any electronic device or recording wishing me "Aloha" or "Mahalo". 3450
Mar 17 2011: Lihue Walmart: your source for genuine Hawaiian souvenirs—made in China. http://t.co/RSvEW5w 3451
Mar 17 2011: Back at the campsite. Bought a $5 tarp and $12 sleeping bag. The latter is mostly for padding. Breeze should keep mozzies away. 3452
Mar 17 2011: 9pm here. Hoping for a full night's sleep but we'll see. Nighty night! 3453
Mar 17 2011: The rains come! Pulling the tarp over me, like a taco. 3454
Mar 17 2011: The problem is keeping the taco closed in the wind. My kingdom for some plastic cable ties! Fortunately, rain is light and intermittent. 3455
Mar 17 2011: .@GraceWelch "how much is a gallon of milk now?" <== $4.29 at Walmart. Probably much higher elsewhere. Even Walmart prices are depressing! 3456
Mar 17 2011: RT @Cinnapuff: @BadDalaiLama You live such an interesting life! Oh, and btw... your old website was the 1st site I ever saw in the inter ... 3457
Mar 17 2011: .@TheBosha "Watch out for wild boar. For real." <== I know all about wild bores. I just unfollow them! 3458
Mar 17 2011: .@trevlutz "Enjoy your canopy of stars tonight." <== That's canopy of stars and clouds. This is the windward side, which scoops up moisture. 3459
Mar 17 2011: On My Bucket List: Become a classically trained actor forced to do television work that is far beneath my talents. [See Full Bucket List] 3460
Mar 17 2011: Rain is over now and sky is clear. Sleeping beautifully otherwise. Until the next squall... 3461
Mar 17 2011: It's taco time again. Sleep, taco, sleep, taco! 3462

Mar 17 2011: Slept comfortably 9-5 with two interruptions for some light rain. 3464
Mar 17 2011: It was cool enough that I needed my $12 sleeping bag (now 72). Glad I bought it! 3465
Mar 17 2011: Lesson of the night: Should have bought $1 bag of cable ties to keep my tarp "taco" closed during the rain. 3466
Mar 17 2011: Fortunately the rain was light and evaporated quickly. If it was heavy I'd be a soggy mess (and my electronics would be at risk). 3467
Mar 17 2011: Today: High of 80, breezy, with chance of rain throughout the day (on the windward side of the island). Same boring thing, day after day. 3468
