A helicopter ride in Hawaii

Hey Pat, you can chime in here any time! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Sideways the photo is okay but straight up and down is even prettier! I said before we left home the one thing I definitely was NOT doing was the island helicopter tours. Turned out it was awesome! (After the first ten minutes of adjustment, that is.....)

This is a view of the Sacred Falls - breath-taking when seen up close and personal through the windshield of the 'copter. It's in a remote valley of Oaho, well off the beaten path and only accessible by a major serious hike, hang-glider flight or helicopter ride. Needless to say, we opted for the helo. I was a little nervous as the pilot flew us into the canyon but it was gorgeous so we were very happy in the end we did this activity.

Last nights sunset was gorgeous, too. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Now, see, what did I tell you?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Glad you did it and survived and even more glad you were happy with the experience! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

She must be smiling imagining all of us cocking our heads to the right to see the waterfall. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
