A Breath of Fresh Air






One of the activities I was determined to do while in Hawaii is parasailing. The last time I did it was in the Bahamas, 15 years ago. I enjoyed it so much then, that I wanted to do it at least one more time before my time here on earth was over. Five of my family members participated in the event. My sister, brother and twin nephews all enjoyed the experience. You feel like you are floating on air. It's wonderful to be able to look down and see the beautiful landscapes and scenery. I went up with my brother just so I could have more time in the air. If you've never done it before, I highly recommend it. I plan on trying to parasail at least one more time.

Here is a link to the pictures taken by the man on the boat.

Enjoy life!

Cirque Polynesia

I saw my first Cirque du Soleil(French for Circus of the Sun), Mystère, in Las Vegas earlier this year. I truly enjoyed the show, and had decided, given the opportunity, I would see as many of them as I could. Well the opportunity arose while I was in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago. Cirque Polynesia was showing at the Hyatt. While the show was much smaller than the venues in Vegas, the show did not disappoint. I wasn't able to take pictures during the show, but I did take some before and after.

Here is the stage:




Some of the instruments:



Here are some pics after the show. First the cast:

It was a great time had by all. Check it out if you get a chance.
