Yahoo!!!!
“SI!” Tony and I replied when Kevin and Marisela invited us to join them on their return trip to Kauai aboard their one-of-a-kind, original (can you say MAGNIFIQUE?!!) boat KALEWA — designed and built by Kevin.
Invitations like these don’t come every day!
From where to where? you ask.
Puerta Vallarta, Mexico to Nawiliwili, Kauai.
When?
Now.
But how can you make a post when you’re underway?
We’re not yet. There are a few details to take care of. Parts needed for this and that. And, most importantly, cousins to visit with!!!
I’ve been speaking a sloppy mix of French, Spanish, and German. BUT I made a promise to Flavio, Marisela’s cousin who’s a Biology teacher and gynecologist, that I’ll know Spanish by the next time we meet up. Yup, that’s my goal!!! Hablar con mia en espanol next time you see me. I most likely will make a mess of my reply, but I’ll give it my ALL, that’s for darn tooting!
Kay den, without further ado, below are pictures that fablisio Tony Baloney has taken so far . . .
What an awesome experience with some awesome people! Have a fabulous time and make sure you do a message in the bottle at the halfway mark. Fair winds and following seas!
Wow! What an opportunity and with what looks like an amazing group of people to do it with!
Loved the stepping off and leaping factor of taking advantage of what’s in front of you!! Carpe diem!
Thanks for sharing! Hope to see you on the Bay this summer. Willie and I will be working on another poem!
Love and Aloha,
Laurie
Looking forward to hearing it/them !!!
Bon Voyage !
Ahhh, looks like a beautiful comfy boat to sail aboard! Hugs and kisses to everyone and safe journey, I mean it!!! oxox kat
Yeah! Sweet boat!! So excited for you all! Thanks for sharing the adventure. I’ll be taking notes for my crossing;)
Si! Note taking’s good! Safe sail from Oahu to Kauai!
Can’t wait to hear the saga and see the pics! !Vaya con dios! (sorry no Spanish keyboard so can’t turn the first exclamation mark upside down!)
No worries Marty!!! Thanks for making the effort!
Aloha, Happy travels, may the winds bring you home safely, see you soon.
Hasta pronto!
