Beginning Photo Dump: Rarotonga

I have over 750 photos, some worth seeing, others, well... I'm just a hack with an inexpensive camera. This means that I will do a big photo dump for those interested and for those who would rather view than read my writing.

The beginning shall be in Rarotonga, Cook Islands. This includes a couple of travel pics.




The flight from LA was long and tedious especially since I had to got to Auckland, first. But at the Rarotonga Airport we were greeted by a ukelele strummer and singer. It was really nice with the tropical humidity in the background, made me feel like Hoagy Carmichael or Humphrey Bogart in an old film.

Sorry about the shaky video work, I am just learning. Anyway, back to the dump.

Sorry you had to interrupt your adventure but very glad everyone is OK. You're getting kinda fancy with the videos - well done! It is great fun to follow along and watch the fun (even via the wire).
Oh, I'd like to have a Lamb Roll and a Cook's Blonde (or 2), please....
