Of course you can post as many as you want....anyone can! Geesh!!! I only said one for me, because I have to get other things done! Oh my, big misunderstanding there. Please post away!!!! John that is a gorgeous picture. Did you actually see the flash. We don't get many out here because of clouds right on the horizon nearly everyday. I think Cowboy said he had seen 5 in 9 years! I've only seen 2 in my whole life!
Pohnpei - "The Garden Island of Micronesia"
LOL. I will continue to post pics to drive john crazy. Pics that have nothing to do with all this.
This is part of the walkway leading to the chapel.
Lovely Pepper. Sort of prepares you for chapel with that serene walk through nature's bounty.
This is a picture of my favorite Monkey Pod tree from a distance. This is from the bridge on the other side of the long house. I just love this tree!
Nice tree!!
The Mango trees were beautiful too. I don't know how to get the whole tree in a picture....they were huge!
they say that the best way to view a green flash is through the bottom of a Heineken bottle.....
just a thought....
John, your insightful philosophy just inspires me to greater and greater achievements! Perhaps a little Captain Morgan????
Hey Shari;
Man you sure seem to be livin the life. I'm so jealous. Have you a room for rent? Seriously through I love the islands and plan on visitng Bora Bora this Jan. Maybe next year Kawajalein will be on my destination list. Thanks for the pictures
Lance
Where's Captain Morgan? I don't get my date with him until after 5pm-lol
John, beautiful sunset pic, and everyone else keep 'em coming. There's not much spectacular to take pics of here---roadside litter, wads of chewing tobacco on the ground, kudzu......anyone up for a visit? lol
Lance, I think you have to get security clearance to go to Kwajalein if I'm not correct, but surely there's somewhere in Micronesia you could land (is there an airport in Palau?)
I tried to get Carol to join us in Pohnpei, and it was super expensive even from Hawaii. Lance - if you are going to Bora Bora - you've just GOT to visit Moorea. It is my absolute favorite of the Tahitian islands. Truly heaven on earth! It is so easy to see why the Bounty crew mutinied there! I would have too, without a doubt. The people there are the warmest, friendliest people I have ever met, and they treat visitors just like family. Never tip....it is considered rude - you wouldn't tip your sister or mother so you shouldn't tip them. That probably holds true on BB as well - unless there are more French there now.
If you wanted to visit Kwajalein you would have to get a sponsor and have your itinerary cleared by the Army, and carry your travel orders with you at all times. You can't even get on the airplane to come out here without showing your travel orders. When a plane stops here on the way to anywhere else - you have to have those orders to get off. Its a military base after all.....kind of a hassel - but worth it to us.
Back on Pohnpei now .....This was the view right off of our balcony....gingers, heliconia, breadfruit, hibiscus and palm trees, but notice that you can't see the unit just below us. Sound traveled well, but if it was quiet it was easy to believe we were the only people there.

Well that was silly - I forgot to add the pic! D'oh!
Beautiful. Thanks for the adventure.
