A Perfect Day

Today should have been the highlight of our Hawaiian cruise, if not the whole trip. We saved our money to book the must do excersion, a helicopter trip flying over the most beautiful island, Kauai. It is where many Hollywood films have been made, like South Pacific, Jurassic Park and most recently, King Kong. As I write, we should have been whizzing over beaches, a canyon and waterfalls, just like at the beginning of Magnum, for those of you old enough to remember the TV series.
So, why am I here, you may ask? Well, there is a reason why this part of Hawaii is so lush and green. It gets rain. And plenty of it. In fact so much rain today that all the trips were cancelled, even those on land.
So my enduring memory of this paradise island is this internet cafe. But at least I have a poster advertising the flight right in front of me. Just to rub salt into my wounds.
NB: I am writing this item looking for messages of sympathy. Please stop laughing.
