4 Amigos return from death defying flight

Today was an awesome day for sightseeing. Laura and I Got up early and headed to Poipu to pick up Linette and Mark, then carry on to Port Allen airport to experience the island by open door helicopter. We left the room about 8:00  and got to Port Allen about 9:40 in plenty of time to get started. After the usual FAA stuff it was off to the skies in a Hughes 400 quite a nice helicopter and I think very new.

Port Allen

One of many waterfalls

 We toured the whole island as best we could as the wind chased clouds around and our pilot kept ahead of them, except for a couple of quick duck in and duck out of a rain.  Saw a full circle rainbow, many waterfalls, and valleys, mountain peaks hawaiian sacred sites, beaches, turtles, and lots of clouds.
