The sun was bright when we finally got up... temp was about 75 degrees.. spent the day trying to layout our program for the week. Set up tours for Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for this afternoon.
This was a great trip. Our pilot "Joe" was great and knew all about the island and where the celebraties live including Opra. We flew over her Maui property. Joe set the helecopter down on a cattle ranch on the island where we spent about 20 minutes looking at the area. We shared a bottle of champaign and toasted our anniversary, plus another couple with us was getting married in two days on the island we also toasted their upcoming wedding. We saw the cinder cone craters from about 10 thousand feet and flew all around the island. What a great ride. Shirley really enjoyed the flight especially getting to see the whales, waterfalls & Kona, pineapple & sugar cane plantations. Got a DVD of the ride for "FREE" because the camera in the cockpit wasn't working properly & the 6 of us were all washed out!

When we got back to our condo, Shirley fixed some guacamole & chips and we shared our favorite sherry (Harvey's Bristol Creme) then I had a margarita as well. Watched a couple of TV programs that included the "Bob Hope Classic".
