Flying High!

One of the activities we really wanted to try on our getaway was a helicopter ride. God gave us perfect flying weather and so on our way home we stopped of to take to the clouds!

Here is my happy hubby sitting up front with the pilot as we take off.
Here I am about halfway through our flight...at this point I was starting to feel a bit ill. I am not one to get motion sickness but I think it was a combination of the vibrations from the engine, dramatic changes in equilibrium and slight nasal congestion. All together a recipe for airsickness! As I realized that the rising temperature was just me, slight panic set in. As inconspicuously as possible I searched for an airsick bag. Would you believe they didn't have any?! So I focused on keeping myself from hurling over the back of my hubby. I am pleased to say that I didn't end up puking but it took me quite a while to get my stomach back to a happy normal!


Isn't the coastline amazing from 2,500 feet?
The people literally looked as small as ants! It was so weird!
Here is a lonely, decomissioned lighthouse. Could you imagine living there? And yet lighthouse keepers did for over a hundred years!
Majestic mountains and rolling valleys.

The helicopter ride was amazing. But I won't be doing that ever again. I prefer large airliners for traveling.

My honey had a wonderful time and didn't get sick at all. He was hoping we could get a longer ride. I am sooo thankful we didn't! :)
