Wednesday Feb 14 Update

Happy Valentine's Day!

Beautiful flowers are growing around this bit of heaven. We’ve got two weeks left, now, and I’m starting to miss it already! I took these pictures this morning as Doris and Jerry were looking around the place.

They got here fine last night and are getting adjusted to the time change. We got a call from Tom and Linda today and they made it home fine, in spite of going through Chicago and all it’s weather problems. Their luggage got lost, but it finally made it, too. We were relieved to know they got home already; we were afraid they’d be laid over for many hours in Chicago. Tom said he was missing Don; he hadn’t had any abuse all day. J

We took Doris and Jerry to Pololu Lookout and then whale watching at Kapaa Park. We had the best whale show EVER. We couldn’t believe they were so lucky. The whales were up close and they were BREACHING! We were spellbound! There were so many of them we had to turn our heads left and right to keep from missing any and still missed some! It was like a feeding frenzy or something. We were all very thrilled. We went then to the Hilton and saw a great dolphin show with grown ups working with the dolphins instead of kids. That was awesome, too! We came home by way of the Prince Resort and saw more whales breaching as we drove up the coast. It was a spectacular day. We are all exhausted and going to bed early because we’ll get up early tomorrow to do the Volcano trip. That’s the biggest day of all, but tomorrow is the best weather day in the forecast, so we’re going for it.

Tomorrow I’ll send pictures of two of the 5 people on the island who can weave baskets and roses out of the coconut palm leaves and their niece, who is in training. It’s an awesome skill and so few people can do it. Tune in tomorrow!

I love you all and God bless! Mary Jo
