Week # 11
Tomorrow starts our final week of work, and it is a short one - 2 1/2 days. Hardly worth getting our clothes dirty over. It will be busy though, as we have Praise & Worship on Tuesday and Convocation on Thursday evening. Both nights are highlights of a session and bring several guests to Haggai. Wednesday evening there is a special Rotary get together for a visting GSE team from Argentina.
Yesterday I took a helicopter ride with a fellow volunteer from BC. Marlene didn't want to go this year, but I wanted to see inside the Haleackala crater, without a three day hike to do so! My pictures didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but we did get a peek at the crater. The wind bunches up clouds, so you need to fly around the clouds, but you can't go over the fence line of the Haleackala National Forest, so it is a bit of a challenge to get a decent view. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and well worth the effort and money. I highly recommend.
We leave here Friday lunchtime, but because of the the time difference and connecting flight at Los Angeles, don't arrive in Toronto until 6:00 am Saturday. It has been another great experience, but it is time to go home - lawn to cut, flowerbeds to weed and family to reconnect with.

Hi Ralph & Marlene,
Chee Seng here from #M0903a, do you recall? I landed on your blog by accident. I am glad that to know that you are doing well. What a view from the heli.
Take care
