MGI Has Died and Gone to Heaven

#1 Post by golfmobile »

Higgins!! Open the gate! Or should be I be calling St. Peter?

More . . . .

By the way, while we were stopped, taking these pictures, another car stopped and another couple got out and sheepishly walked up to take pictures too, as we beat a hasty retreat. Larry said he was surprised I didn't stop and talk to them, but MGI was kicking and screaming at me for taking him away, and that would have been SO hard to explain . . . . Of course, if we stop there again, MGI WILL have his day in the sun.

And a visit to Island Hoppers . . . .

The helipad -- no "Flying Easter Egg" helicopter in sight.

More later.

I'm glad MGI is finally on the trip he, (and you) so richly deserves! Enjoy :D

Sorry, Sam, no longer in Waikiki. We're over near Kailua, a little closer to Kailua than Waimanalo, in our own private Robin's Nest, just not on the beach. We're in an apartment on the far right end of the house shown below. We can sit at the table under the huge monkey pod tree with the computer and post messages. This place is beautifully (Higgins would approve) landscaped and it is such a pleasure to sit outside.

This is our outside "dining room." That's Larry, if you can see him in the Hawaiian shirt, grilling our New York strips.

Image

Off to find snorkel equipment so we can go snorkeling this morning and play golf this afternoon. I can't wait to get out on a golf course.

Yesterday (Wed.) we found our "estate" and settled in, then went exploring from here down to Hamauna Bay. It's about 15 miles away from where we are. Hope we can find somewhere closer to go snorkeling! On the way there, we stopped at Kailua Beach Park:

Waimanalo Beach Park:

(that's looking toward RN)

Image

But I couldn't get Larry to stop so we could get around to the tidal pool.
He said we didn't need to do everything the first day.

And I tried to get him to stop so I could get a picture of the lighthouse where "Legs" was thrown over, but he wouldn't stop so this was all I could get from the moving car:

Image

Hope to get a better picture later.

Gotta turn the laptop over to him so he can do his stuff now . . . .

Great pictures! Wouldn't that have been embarrassing for Magnum GI if the gate opened suddenly before he could be rescued.

And it looks like Makai Research Pier (Island Hoppers) had an extension put on the building where TC used to keep his chopper. Guess it's been like that for years though.

The pictures are wonderful, Golf! It's amazing that you have the time to post them.

And, like Carmen, I'm not the tiniest bit jealous. Nope, not even a little bit. No, not at all...... :)

Did MGI get to pack a suitcase too? Will we see him sport any of the latest in swimwear this trip? :)
