Landed in Lihue at 12;50 on January 6 - one day late. We had plane problems in Edmonton that had to be corrected and signed off even before the de-icing. We left 2 hours late and missed our flight from Seattle on Sunday. No problem - just another experience.
Alaska Air put us up in the Hilton with meal certificates and we had a beautiful day in Seattle. We left Monday at 9:10am. After we settled in our place in Bali Hai, we covered the beaches on the northern corner of the island and continued Tuesday with a little shopping as well.
The beauty of the island is awe-inspiring, never saw anything like it. The mountains, the vegatation, the rivers, the ocean and the beaches. Then there are the birds and you are all aware of my love of birds of every shape and size.
We went to the cliffs Wednesday morning for a walk and were welcomed by albatrosses that I learned are an endangered species. They are beautiful. Just a little info: they mate for life and they fly around in pairs.
We do the helicopter flight over the island Thursday at 8:30 am so that entry will have a little more excitement. There should be some pictures to pass on as well.
The rest of the crew are waiting for me for supper so I better call thsi quits for today and sorry for the delay. I'm blaming the delay on Edmonton's cold weather seeing that were were held up at the airport. Everyone here says they are having a cold spell but it is 74 and we are loving it.
I think of you all each day with love.
Glad you enjoyed the day in Seattle but too bad you missed a day at the resort. What is the problem with Edmonton weather anyway? It has been balmy here.
ReplyDeleteIs the Bali Hai resort all South Pacific themed?
Have fun and we are all looking forward to your next report and pictures!
Love Robert
