Picture Of The Day February 2008
Sunset Sail in Lanai, Hawaii (2/25/2008)
We again joined the Trilogy crew and went for an afternoon/pre-sunset
sail and wow what a ride. Three hours of sailing the eastern side
of Lanai under 1,000 foot sea cliffs with fingers crossed they decide
not to slip into the sea! We could touch the dolphins and saw
whales come up under the boat and were within 100 feet of us raising
their tails into the air. We met Captain Ricky again and it was a
great way to say goodbye to Lanai this time!
Off Roading On Lanai Was A Ball (2/22/2008)
We took the jeep to "Ship Wreck Beach" on the northeastern side of the
island where we cold see a hundred whales cavorting in the water just
off the beach. Oh for the telephoto lens that day. The sand
was soft so we didn't go too far out but it was an adventure!
Testing The Water Temperature (2/19/2008)
Yup! Ocean waves are faster the a person backing up in soft sand!
We were walking on the beach and the wave was coming ashore and they
met... the result was one-wet-grandma! Fanny first into the warm
water. Sue took it in great stride
laughing was she dripped back to the dry sand. A few minutes with
her pants on a hot black lava rock and all was dry. There was only
one other person on this two mile stretch of beach! We had a good
laugh and a wonderful time
A Few Giggles At Dinner Time In Lanai (2/18/2008)
We ate at Pele's Other Garden... A delightful dining experience with
many of the locals as well as hotel guests soaking up the friendship
offered by the island. The food was delicious and the wine quite
nice. Grandma Sue is feeling no pain right now and decided to wave
at the came (with a little coaxing from Paul... who was waving at
everything)!
Arrival At The Lodge In Koele, Lanai (2/18/2008)
It was a easy flight from LA to Honolulu and a 25 minutes flight from
Honolulu to Lanai. We were welcomed to the Lodge and offered a
drink and a chance to sit in the great room while our baggage was moved
into the suite. A delightful week lay ahead of us!
Huntington Library & Gardens - Carri Behind Bars! (2/16/2008)
The bamboo is quite large down by the lily pond and Miss Carri got
caught behind the bars! We had an enjoyable day at the library
having high tea in the afternoon looking over the herb garden! We had a
lot of fun at the Huntington Library
And Botanical Gardens.
We Could Hit The Moon (2/2/2008)
If
you look carefully, you can see the moon up and shining in the middle of
an afternoon round of golf on the 13th hole at Old Ranch. Come on
driver, whack that ball and hit the moon!
