2017 Trips

A bit of a delay in posting these... we have done a bit of traveling this year so far.  In February we went to Hawaii, beautiful but we discovered my travel buddy doesn't deal well with jetlag so in May we decided to stick with Florida.

The Hawaii trip started out with the standard stuff...Toronto FC on the plane...

Going through the standard safety announcements...

Watching the elephant trucks turn the plane green...

And a very long flight - actually two...

Hawaii was awesome as usual, what's not to like?  The weather is nice all year round.  They have awesome food and we even saw whales this time! (albeit from a distance)

As usual we said hi to the local wildlife, the local goats

The local whales - who were actually very far away.  Here is a bit of perspective...

and the local turtles that we always say hi to.

Of course we also had some good food, we found this place called the Fish House where you get whatever they catch that day.  We even saw them bring in some local Ahi.  Fresh tuna anyone?

They also have the biggest avocados i've ever seen.  I wish we could get these at home.

Then too soon it was time to go home,

In May we went to Florida and stayed at a hotel that had a pirate ship!

We saw a lot of local wildlife here too cormorants, turtles and even alligators!(this one was about 2 years old)

We really spent most of the time at the pool, and we will definitely go back because my travel buddy absolutely loved it.

So here to sign off is a gratuitous cannon shot.  Until next time.
