Best conditions are calm winds and no swell, there is a website called, I think, Windguru, which you can consult. if there is a shore break it can be tricky to get off the beach. How much boating experience does your group have?

Just booked Wings Over Kauai. It's a fixed wing instead of a helicopter. The tour is longer and it's a lot cheaper. I was afraid that one of us would get stuck in one of the middle seats in a chopper. Every seat has a large window in the plane. It can't hover, but that's OK. PA Girl...Vicki's trave...

In the summer the loft is hot, I think it would be hard to sleep up there. i can't comment on the winter conditions. That entire pod gets hot, it has loads of windows and a south facing exposure so it's in full sun most of the day. iIn addition to the loft it houses the LR and formal DR. The outdoor...

[quote="shoemak38"]At Gillette, 25,000 fans showed up to send off their beloved Patriots to the Super Bowl. It was the opposite in New York, where just a handful of fans showed up on Monday to see the Giants off.

Thanks Ann. I tried to rent through Amalie as I have heard so many good things about them, but they won't rent to us with 7 passengers because they said there will be no room for luggage and I could not convince her otherwise (we are traveling light). Why do they need to know how many people? I can...
