We stopped at the Princeville Airport to check out the helicopters. This helicopter reminds me of the flies in Kenya. |
Wouldn't you know, Julie calls me from the airport in Lihue to tell me her shuttle drive had been canceled by someone named Mike. Go figure. Who's Mike? I never canceled her shuttle.
We drove to the local airport to check out the helicopters. We've considered touring the island in a helicopter but not quite sure we will do so. |
Although, we'll never figured out what had happened and, I did see a credit on my credit card this morning and the fact she arrived safely by a taxi, she wasn't too much worse for the wear, arriving safely at 10:15 pm, after only a 15 minute delay at the airport. Oh, stuff happens.
This helicopter was being repaired. I don't know if that's a good sign or bad sign. |
Although, I must admit, we've been very lucky on most of our travel days finding everything to be as we'd planned and hoped to be. Traveling isn't easy when one realizes its a series of events which must transpire in a timely sequential pattern with little room for variances with errors often caused by human or mechanical error.
Tom spotted these two chickens. "Must have been a double yolker," Tom clucked as I laughed. |
That's not to say that we've forgotten about the knife someone placed in our plastic bin when we went through security in Barcelona on May 1, 2013. Click here for photos and the details of that event.
We've wanted to check out the local airport available for charters only. |
The Princeville Ranch is near the airport offering horseback rides, zip lining and other adventure outings. |
The ranch's horses were saddled and ready to go. |
In the first 10 hours while we were on safari in the Masai Mara in Kenya, we saw and took photos of the "Big Five," the treasured and revered sightings of every safari attendee which includes the: Cape buffalo, lion, rhino, elephant and leopard.
Since that time in October 2013, we've called any good fortune we experience as "safari luck" of which we've had our fair share, even amid a plethora of oddball or difficult scenarios, managing to work our way through, grateful for a good outcome.
Speaking of grateful, we're excited that Julie is here with us now. Most certainly, the next eight days will be packed with lots of sightseeing and lots of laughing, much of which we'll share here each day.
This building is a part of the former Princeville Golf Club which has been closed for a few years. Recently, a billionaire investor from China purchased the property and will be developing a huge high end housing development of homes, restaurants and golf. |
Thanks for reading our mindless drivel. Hopefully, over the next several days, we'll ramp it up!
Happy Friday!
