Kauai Trip Day 7: Helicopter Ride

[days_unfolding]

I got up at 6 AM. I’m waiting around to call the helicopter people. The helicopter flight is on. They warned me that there might be a lot of traffic near the airport, and I said that I know, it was like a parking lot there yesterday.

I think that I’ll take a shower. I got breakfast at my usual place.

I got to the helicopter place way early (no traffic) and am cooling my heels. I don’t know why I’m a little nervous about this. The helicopter place has bathrooms and water and tables to sit at. Hmm, it’s getting a bit cloudy.

I highly recommend the helicopter flight. We buzzed Waimea Canyon and a few valleys of NaPali. I was worried about motion sickness but it was okay. I bought their video of the flight and the picture that they took of me.

I found the UPS Store on the way back and mailed my Kauai jacket and my hiking boots. Then I went to the food court and had grilled cheese and fries. I ate the whole thing, diet be damned, to make sure that my stomach was settled.

Now I’m back and am thinking about a nap. Slept for four hours. And I locked myself out of my room, sigh. After-hours security let me in.

Ack. Google Keep is not coming up on my laptop. (It’s where I draft entries.) So, I guess that I’ll post in the morning.

That sounds very cool!
I won a ride in a helicopter when I was young, but that was the only time I’ve been in one.
