Thank You, I enjoy doing the posts. I will try again tonight on the lights if Maui but it’s cloudy over there now. Looks like it’s raining over there.
It may still be clear later in the evening. If not this evening, you will be back again. We’ll see it next time! :)

You should write a travel guide. The trip we took to Molokai was my husbands favorite but what I found frustrating was that all of the information that I found was really outdated. Most everything still referred to the Sheraton and the ranch. I could not find any information on local beaches and how to get to them. I did find Denisem's travel summary very helpful but I would have enjoyed it more with more information.

You have us all wanting to go to Molokai

I did get another video of the lights of Maui last night and I did change the battery in my mic. :)

I’ll post it when I get back to Wisconsin.

Thank You, I’ll have to look into the best way to do that. I think I’d be able to have a good start on one.

Did it get clear later?

This happened to us on Maui too. I booked a stargazing tour on the roof of the Hyatt Regency Hotel for 8 PM but they canceled the trip.

At 8 PM, it was the most beautiful starry night but they go by the official weather report and have to notify the the people early enough or they would be on their way to the Hotel already and that makes sense. Since I booked in the beginning of our trip, I could book again.

There was a full moon between the islands and some clouds were rolling through but it was clear. With the naked eye I can see the lights better but it still worked good when I zoomed in.

Same full moon here and I was wondering if it cleared up at your location. I am looking forward to see your video. :)

TUGger “ ronandjoan “ have a blog and I have seen them from others here too. I have read hers without being a member.

Thanks for your videos Jeff, really enjoyed them. AL

Two more coming too. Plus some nice pictures from my flight from Molokai to Maui. They flew right over Kalaupapa. :thumbup:

Almost had a really bad snafu. About a month ago Makani Kai changed my flight time about 45 minutes earlier. I forgot to reprint it and we missed the flight. :D
Luckily, Mokulele had two seats on there next flight and we still caught our Maui flight in plenty of time.

Makani Kai gave me a credit so I get a free one way next time so no loss. I may ask if I can put that towards a flight to Kalaupapa so we can take the tour in August.

Nice flight to Chicago, we left about 15 minutes late and arrived 25 minutes early. :shrug:

Now our last short flight to Madison is delayed. It started out an Hour and a half delayed, now it’s only an hour delayed.

Raining in Chicago and Madison. Hope it’s not too bad, we have a 45 minute drive after the short flight.

We’ll we ended up an hour late. I must have gotten 10 messages with gate and time changes. But not too bad in the end.

Your reports have convinced me I need to spend a week or two on Molokai. Thanks for taking time to let us come along with you.

Just starting to get a little caught up here at home. I got some nice pictures of Kalaupapa on the small plane ride back to Maui. I wanted to post those first. I have to upload the night lights of Maui this weekend.

Thanks for the pictures. The plane ride is fun. On our way up, we could see the cockpit and instrument panels but on our way back they had the curtain closed.

Looking forward to your movie, slip.

We flew Makani Kai this time and they don’t have the small walls an curtain like Mokulele so we were able to see everything too. I don’t think they ever closed the curtains on any of our flights.

I finally got around to my last videos. I have a new walk through of the condo uploading now and I will post it when it’s done.

This is a new one of the night lights of Maui seen at the WaveCrest resort on Molokai. I had to change the battery in My mic in the last one so hopefully this one is a little better.

Very interesting and showing lights higher up too but I am still not sure where exactly it is. Someone may know and post it. Thanks for sharing again. :)

Yes, I want to look at a map and try to figure it out.

Here’s an updated video on the inside of our condo. It’s a little more open. We got rid of some clutter.
