February 12, 2017 – Four Seasons

The wind has impacted the snorkeling.  The trade winds blow through the islands and waves roll in hard and fast.  It makes the water murky and difficult to see.  The winds remind Debbie of hurricane winds.  Hair stands straight up, clothes whip around the wearer as one leans forward walking to their destination.

The wind prompted a visit to see the turtles at the Four Seasons.  Debbie believes that she rightly belongs at the Four Seasons.).  To visit the Four Seasons, you have to get a pass into the parking lot.  (Someone in the car has to look like they belong at the Four Seasons.  Debbie tried to climb into the front seat as she was certain that she had the look.  Larry was able to keep her in the back seat and they did get a pass.

On the return to the condo, they stopped at a cave.  Debbie, Jerry and Larry decided to explore while  Joyce declined.  (Smart move on Joyce’s part).  After a few minutes, Debbie decided maybe she didn’t want to scramble over a rock ledge on her hands and knees holding a flashlight in their mouths.  She retreated to find that Joyce has struck up a conversation with other strangers on the side of the road.  They really liked Debbie’s video of the volcano and taught her how to use Air Drop to share the video.  While Joyce and Debbie were learning new IT tricks, Jerry and Larry were still running around exploring the cave.  Eventually, Jerry and Larry decided not to try to find the end of the tunnel and scramble out.  (This group is easy to entertain as long as it is free).  Debbie shared here new IT knowledge the rest of the way home by sending files to Larry.  It is doubtful that Larry and Jerry will leave Joyce and Debbie alone by the side of the road anytime soon.

February 8, 2017 – Pahoa, Hawaii

The group got up early, stood on the rental porch, watched people begin the 8 mile hike to the lava flow and patted themselves on the back for completing the hike.  Mostly, they were happy to be able to walk the next day.

The day after the Lava Hike, the next day was spent trying not to walk too far.  First stop, lunch at the Aloha Lehua Café to try some of the local favorites – Korean Chicken – Loco Moco.    Food Moment:   Loco Moco is what you get when gravy is poured atop of a fried egg stacked on a thick hamburger patty, piled on top of white, sticky rice.  (It is not what Debbie gets).

The next stop was Lava Tree State Park.  Tourist Moment:  Lava Tree State Park has preserved lava molds of tree trunks that were formed when a lava flow swept through a forested area in 1790.  There weren’t many people at the park.  There was another older tourist that kept lecturing the people with him.  (Debbie is pretty sure that he was making things up.  She is somewhat of an expert on making things up).  Larry and Debbie actually walked on the grass to get around them.

Sexual arousal or desire to have viagra samples intercourse is hormone-driven bodily function. After the park, they drove to Ahalanui Springs.  Tourist Moment:  Here you can have a swim in a spring-fed, walled-in pool, which is volcanically heated to a comfortable 90°F (32°C). The part natural part man-made pool is located right next to the ocean. It is connected to it by a small inlet, which also allows small tropical fish to enter the pool. The pool water is brackish, but crystal clear, and the bottom of the pool is a combination of sand and mud, with a slight sulfur smell.  Debbie is not enthused about swimming in a pool with a sulfur smell no matter how slight.  In addition, there are warning signs about bacteria and notice not to swim with open wounds.  (Who does this?)  Needless to say, no swimming was done and Debbie would not get within 20 feet of the pool.  They were impressed with the impromptu market that sprung up outside the springs.

Next on the list, MacKenzie State Recreation Park.  Tourist Moment:  Low cliffs, wild volcanic coastline with picnicking in an ironwood grove.  This park is also rumored to be haunted.  There are signs to watch for “Crumbling Cliffs”.  Larry and Jerry seemed to have missed these signs as they kept standing on the edge.  Debbie and Joyce pointed out to them that if they went in that no one was going to jump in after them, there was no cell phone reception and that Jerry had the keys.  Debbie was able to coax Larry back from the edge by pointing out the papaya trees.  He kept circling but couldn’t figure out how to get them down.

Final stop was Kehena black sand beach.   There are two Kehena black sand beaches.  The new beach is new and man-made.  Coconut trees are growing out of coconuts stuck in the sand lined up in pristine rows.  The group hiked to the beach and back.   Then they visited the shops run by hippies.  Unfortunately, they were there on Thursday and not Wednesday when the hippies have a big party. Since the visit, they have discovered that there is another Kehena black sand beach that is clothing optional.  (Debbie and Larry want to assure everyone that they were not at the clothing optional beach nor were they in search of that beach).  They have heard that the beach does offer a yoga class.

February 8, 2017  – Volcano National Park

We left our hardy group on their way to the rental for the night.  The rental house is on the edge of the path to the lava flow.  As one approaches the path, it is a carnival like atmosphere.  There are tents renting bikes, selling water, walking tours, partial rides and food.

Jerry found out the secret code to drive past the guards and into the subdivision.  The house is in the middle of a lava field.  You can stand on the balcony and see the steam in the distant along with a stream of people heading for the viewing area.

Shockingly, the weather had cleared so the group decided to chance it.  (Seriously, you are going to chance a 9-mile hike in the rain?)  So, the four took off with their water, jackets, and snacks to walk, yes, walk down to the viewing area.  No stinking bikes for them.  No, they are going to walk the 9 to 10-mile round trip hike.  (Debbie having adopted the Hawaiian dress code, put on two shirts, a hat and a jacket.  Larry has destroyed any pictures of Debbie).   Joyce and Debbie were in the lead with Larry and Jerry hiking behind.  Perhaps to pick up Joyce or Debbie when they fell but a more likely  reason was not to hike with Debbie in her outfit.

The road is blocked to most cars.  A hiker walks down a black gravel road for about 4 miles while shuttles haul people part way up the road.   Bikers whiz by on their way.  Luckily, the wind is blowing behind the hikers helping them down the road.  Only 10% of the hoard is walking.   Joyce and Debbie have a lot of deep discussions about would they make it on a bike and how bad would it hurt if a biker fell in black gravel?  (Listen bike vendors, if you put a booth in about a mile down the road you would get a lot more customers.  Debbie does perk up when she sees some of the bikers pushing their bikes back to the beginning.)  They can see the steam vents as they walk and the explosion of steam as lava hits the water.  So, they walk…. and walk… and walk some more to finally reach the end of the road but not the viewing area.  They then start the half mile hike across the lava field to finally reach the viewing area. After an hour and a half of hiking, they arrive.   At this point, the four make a serious error which will be discussed later.

Once you get to the viewing area, people ohh and ahh each time the lave dumps into the sea.  There are thousands of pictures taken.  People also jockey for a prime viewing position.  Debbie and Joyce separate and both find viewing seats on the rocks.  Larry and Jerry stand behind a group of rocks shooting pictures.  As the sunsets, the flow glows red with yellow flames shooting out.  About 30 minutes after the sun set, Debbie see Jerry and Larry pointing to themselves and back to the road.  Debbie sits down to prepare for the return trip to find her flashlight and raincoat.  As she got up to leave, Joyce shouted to her to wait while she found her flashlight.  Joyce and Debbie somehow then got attached to a park ranger escorting an elderly couple who had a puny flashlight over the lava fields.  Somehow, it ended up that Debbie was escorting them across the lava.  The park ranger was very impressed with Debbie’s and Joyce’s flashlights.  After about 20 minutes, they made it to the road where the wind is blowing hard.

Pain during intercourse Sexual addiction If you’re interested to cope with any of the above-mentioned issues, feel free to rely on tadalafil 5mg buy a reputable sex therapist.
Now, here is where we get to the serious error.  The four were not good scouts.  They did not have a meeting place nor a plan.  (Who are these people?).  Larry and Jerry were not at the road.  Debbie took off walking.  Joyce insisted that Larry and Jerry would never leave them.  Debbie said that she was pretty sure the pointing was “We are starting back”.   Joyce insisted so Debbie stopped walking and waited.  After about 5 minutes of cold wind, Debbie went and stood by the park service truck for a wind break.   So, they stood and talked to the ranger.  They created a “Widow’s Club” for those missing their hiking partners.  They recruited at least one other member.  After about 45 minutes of greeting people as they exited the lave fields, Joyce and Debbie went back down to the viewing field.  The ranger escorted Joyce and Debbie back down area as they had bonded with the ranger.  Once there, they yelled out “Larry!”  “Jerry!”  “Larry!” “Jerry!”  until the people in the viewing area yelled back “They are not Here!”  Debbie and Joyce also shined the super bright flashlights on the group endearing themselves to the crowd.  Joyce concedes that perhaps Larry and Jerry are about 45 minutes down the road.

Off Debbie and Joyce go back down the pitch black road with flashlights.  The first 30 minutes was spent discussing “How could this have happened?” with Debbie asking “How much further do you think it is?” or “Do you think that they will fix dinner for us”.  The walk back at night is different.  Not all hikers have flashlights so they walk in the dark.  Larry and Jerry said that they picked up a couple that tagged on their flashlights for an hour.  Debbie and Joyce were surprised sometimes by hikers suddenly appearing out of the dark.  The bicycle people were even worse.  Some had very dim lights as they rode by (no longer whizzed and some even walked their bikes.)  Debbie did start yelling at the shuttle people that they were wimps as they drove past.

After about an hour and half, they spotted house lights.   Spotted house lights and breezed right past their house and ended up in the parking lot.  They backtracked, found the house, Larry and Jerry.

Total walk for the day 12 miles.  Highest one day step number for Debbie ever.  Maybe Pacific Northwest Trail is next?

February 8th – Volcano National Park

The day began with a trip to Hawaii Volcano National Park via Saddle Road.  Tourist Moment: (We didn’t know what to call this).  Route 200, the Daniel K. Inouye Highway, also called Saddle Road, bisects Hawaii’s largest island, cutting over the raised slopes (the saddle) between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. The moderately-trafficked, often two-lane road is the fastest route between Kailua-Kona and Hilo and leads to observatory access atop both mountains. (Not going there – it is snowing).

As the group exited the car at the national park, it was raining and they discovered that the temperature had dropped.  Everyone had brought umbrellas but Larry and Debbie packed their umbrellas.  (Note to self:  Bring an umbrella and store in a place that does not require crouching in the trunk upending your luggage.)  So much for picnicking in the park.  Luckily, Le Cheap girls, were able to find the Kilauea Military Camp Café.  Yep, they ate in the military camp café.  (What a deal!).  They have a post office, store, and a bowling alley.  (Our author is digressing).

At this point, Debbie would like to comment on the dress code for Hawaii.  There does not seem to be one.  This can be problematic for someone like Debbie who teeters on the line of being a contestant on “What Not To Wear”.  (Debbie is thankful that no one has  turned her into that show).  She has seen people wearing the following:

• Stripes with Plaids (Debbie fears that as she ages that one day she may exit the house wearing these)
• Women wearing platform heels as they hike over lave (A jaw-dropping sight)
• People who just seem to put on layers of clothes none of which goes with the other (Plaid pants, pink dress topped with a green turtle T-shirt and no they are not homeless)
• Boxers and a Hawaiian shirt worn to the KMZ Cafe to stand around and shoot the breeze with friends while waiting for food. (Our personal favorite but extremely distracting to our diners).

Pilots ought to evade the dosage, if they are departing to fly the aircraft between 4 to 6 hours of the Kamagra dosage.* You can viagra generic discount experience some side effects while using this medication.
Debbie says that now the bar has been lowered.  Larry has started checking Debbie’s  dress before she goes out.  Those stripes and plaids are starting to look attractive.

The original plan was to spend the night and hike to the lava flow.  However, no one was up for a 3-hour hike in the rain so decided to explore the park in more detail than planned.  First stop, the Jager Museum.  Tourist Moment:  The overlook outside of the museum offers a panoramic view of Kīlauea Caldera.  (Debbie says that you can see the smoke and people actually walk down there.  She puts those people in the NSS category.)

Next stop was the Thurston Lava Tube. Unfortunately, no parking, so they hiked a mile back and forth since they weren’t  hiking that night.  By the end of the day, everyone had walked close to 5 miles.

Feb 6 – Kona

Everyone has heard of Kona coffee.   Food Moment:  Kona coffee is cultivated on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the North and South Kona Districts of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is one of the most expensive coffees in the world. The weather of sunny mornings, cloud or rain in the afternoon, little wind, and mild nights combined with porous, mineral-rich volcanic soil create favorable coffee growing conditions. .

Greenwell Farms was the lucky farm where the four took their coffee tour.  They have 65,000 plus coffee trees.  The farm also grows various fruits.  Larry kept eyeing the papaya tress to determine if he could climb the tree.  (Debbie said “No”).  They discovered that avocados grow on trees.  (Who knew?) Kona coffee according to our guide is known around the world.  The Hawaiians are very proud of this coffee and sell it for around $32.00 a pound.  Greenwell Farms sells the beans to other companies for roasting.  Seattle’s Best, Caribou and Pete’s are some of the Greenwell customers.  (These names mean nothing to Debbie).

After the coffee tour where fruit was bought but nothing else, the group was ready for lunch at the Place of Refuge.  History Moment:  In old Hawaii, if you had broken a law, the penalty was death.  Laws, or kapu, governed every aspect of Hawaiian society. The penalty for breaking these laws was certain death. Your only option for survival was to elude your pursuers and reach the nearest pu’uhonua, or place of refuge.  There is a road in the back of the park with picnic tables and few people.

Therefore, whenever shopping online, you ought to keep an eye out for. ordering cialis Debbie realized that many of the blog readers have been disappointed because of the lack of churches.  This is your lucky, lucky day. The next stop down the road was the “Painted Church”.  History Moment:  The church was erected in 1899 by Father John Velghe. Without any professional training and using house paint on ordinary wood, he beautified the church with his paintings. The church was nice and cool.  Notice the dog that laid in the middle of the floor.  He did not seem to be bothered by the tourists as they walked around or over him.  The church even has its own fruit stand. (Unmanned unless you count the dog).

The final stop for the day was South Point.  History Moment: This is the southernmost point in Hawaii and thus the US. (No, you unbelievers, it is not Key West.  This a lucky day.  Three history moments in one blog).  Debbie says that you get to South Point down a bumpy, mostly one lane road that can make a person with motion sickness turn green.   If you are feeling slightly nauseous when you stagger out of the car, don’t worry.  The wind will knock it out of you once you exit the car.  Potential Adventure Moment:  There is a place where you can jump off the cliffs into the water below.  Debbie has jumped off cliffs before but as she staggered out to the boat pulley to look down (holding on as tight as possible to the pole) only to receive a mouthful of sand and sea water.  When she looked down, she thought one has to be “Not Super Smart (NSS)” to consider this an adventure.   She then turned around and saw a wet NSS person standing next to her.  (No one that the group knew).  Debbie told Larry that if he was thinking about jumping to remind her the location of the insurance policies.  She would immediately go home, sit in the cars, eat, spread crumbs everywhere and then sell all the dirty cars.  To save the cars, Larry did not jump.  (Debbie just made up the part about Larry jumping, we all know that he would only go if pushed).

He and Jerry did, however, stand next to a blow hole where one can also time the waves and jump into the water.  Debbie refused to get within 20 feet of the edge.  Larry and Jerry kept creeping close to the edge.  (Notice no pictures of Joyce or Debbie near the blow holes)  Larry did discuss with the NSS person about jumping from the blowhole ledge.  Larry was never going to go but would have taken pictures.  Luckily, NSS person,  did smarten up and climbed off the ledge.

Kona

Hawaii grows a lot of fruFruit Stand – Konait.  Fruit stands are everywhere.  It looks like people grow fruit in their yard and have so many that they sell the excess.  Sometimes, the stands are staffed and sometimes just the fruit in a stand with a box for the money.  Most stands have little signs with prices that vary from .25 cents to $1.00 or just write the price on the fruit with a magic marker.  The stands sell things like papayas, apple bananas, bananas, star fruit, oranges, avocados, star fruit and red fuzzy fruit (more on this later).

Sometimes, there are some interesting customers at the fruit stands.  For some unknown reason, these people seem to like to speak to Joyce and Debbie.  They approach Joyce first (Debbie thinks that is because Joyce knows the name of the fruit and is talkative.  Debbie is clueless about fruit.  Debbie, however, is always able to find the money box and prices.  Larry and Jerry don’t get out of the car.)

Here is a sample exchange between Joyce, Debbie and let’s call her, Sally as the three are standing on the side of the road at a fruit stand.

Sally: “You have to be careful with fruit like oranges because they pick up the exhaust fumes and absorb it into the skin of the oranges. I am always cautious about the exhaust fumes.”

Now this last statement made Debbie scratch her head as she wondered why oh why is Sally at the fruit stand by the road buying fruit?  She even wonders more about why Sally’s car is pulled up next to the fruit stand and the motor running?  Maybe Sally is not really that careful.  At this point, Joyce begins creeping away and puts Debbie into play.  (Debbie is not pleased that she must now use her social skills)

Sally: “What is that red fuzzy fruit?”

Debbie: “I don’t know.”  (Debbie is lucky she knows what a banana is)

Sally: “That fruit has special powers”.

Stuff that generic cialis cheap is part of the day to day problems, but as stress settles in, this ability weakens. Its mechanism of action is effective and showed potential results in many patients by controlling their blood sugar levels and viagra cheap online increasing their metabolism.
Debbie: “What?”  (Debbie – What is happening?  Next Sally may whip out some crystals or something)

Sally: “If you eat this and your partner eats, how do I describe?”

Debbie: “What?  Communicate better / Speak better?”

Sally: “I am 63 and I may be able to have children after eating this fruit.  My boyfriend is sitting in the car (the running car).  We both eat it and it is an aphrodisiac.

At this point, Debbie has started to back away from Sally as she feels this is too much information for her.  Joyce is already hiding on the other side of the fruit stand.  Sally gives up her pursuit of the rambutan (Red starry fruit) and hops in the running car with her boyfriend to speed away.  (Is .25 cents too much?) As the group pulls away, another car pulls up, rolls down the window and says “Can I ask you a question?”  Debbie tells Joyce to floor it.

Debbie looked up the fruit which is called rambutan.  Food Moment:  The Rambutan is a hearty looking piece of fruit and is comparable to the size of a golf ball. Its outer skin is red with soft yellowish & neon green prickly pokers all around it. The flesh is white with a big ole seed in the middle. The rambutan has a sweet creamy rich flowery taste and is very refreshing.

Sally’s information was incorrect.  Debbie will no longer get out of the car at a fruit stand.

Feb 5 – Kona

The group started the hiking expedition with a visit to Costco to purchase the all-important Maui Chips in bulk.  Food Moment:  Maui Style potato chips provide a sweet unique onion flavor on extra crunchy kettle cooked potato chips.  Debbie eats these like a machine and had already plowed through one giant bag.  This chips are only found in Hawaii.  They bought three of the largest bags available.  Debbie insisted on personally marching the chips to the car.  She was able to multi task and chase the roaming chickens away while carrying chips.

The hikers continued on to one of the few Kona hikes, the Makahi Trail also known as a cloud forest hike.  It is not a very long hike and had an elevation of more than 3,000 feet.  The lush rain forest is often covered by clouds.  There are lots of greenery, rocks and roots so a hiker must watch where they put their feet.   There were no clouds that day – just lots of sun and sweating tourists.  It was a beautiful hike.

February 4, 2017 -Kohala Coast Big Island

Lapakahi Park was the first destination of a busy day.   History Moment:  Lapakahi State Historical Park is a large area of ruins from an ancient Hawaiian fishing village in North Kohala. Visitors can learn about traditional Hawaiian culture through the partially restored remains of this ancient Hawaiian coastal settlement.  The park overlooks the sea.

The guests of the park walks from station to station.  As the group was walking (actually some people were sitting) through the park, Joyce spied a whale and shouted out. “Whale, Whale!”

Larry:  “I see it! I see it!!”

Joyce: “It is breeching” (Really, what is that?)

Jerry:” There is another one”.

Larry: “See it, Debbie?  See it at 11 o’clock?”

Debbie: “Uh, no” Followed by pointing and waving hands from everyone else.

Joyce: “See the tail”

Debbie:  “Tail? , No.”  There was some hands pushing Debbie in different directions.

Larry: “See the spout?”

Debbie:  “Oh that water spout and little dark thing way, way out there?”

Larry, Jerry (well maybe not Jerry), Joyce jumping up and down.  “Yes, yes”!

Debbie proceeded through the historic park keeping an eye out for whales.  It was impressive but small.  Debbie just thought they were going to be much closer and bigger whales.

The next stop was further down the coast.  This place was for dedicated whale watchers.  Debbie says that this group was hard core.  They had chairs, binoculars, food, and huge cameras.  It seemed as soon as Debbie left the whales did something spectacular causing oohs and aahhs.  Debbie can now spot a whale but is not sure that she was ready for the “show” (professional whale watcher group).  She snuck behind a tree to take pictures with her phone.  Larry took lots of pictures but had little success.  Larry said that it was because the whale was too large for his camera.  Debbie thinks that he is making it up.

On the way home, Jerry made one of Debbie’s favorite stops.  Anueue Ice Cream and Shaved Ice in Waimea.    The order was Mango and Orange Passion Fruit shaved ice with macadamia ice cream with snow on top.  (Debbie can talk the lingo – coconut milk on top.)  Debbie and Larry got the same thing because they declined to share.

Shaved ice is not defined in Google so Debbie volunteered a definition.  It is a dessert that one gets when you go whale watching.  (This explains the large number of fanatical whale watchers).  It is in a spiffy cup with bright colors and may be difficult to eat without spilling on one’s clothes.  She looks forward to more whale sightings and is planning her next shaved ice selection as she washes her clothes.

2/3/2017 Makaiwa Bay, Big Island

We spent our first day checking out the beaches for snorkeling the next day.  It has been at least 10 years since Debbie and Larry have snorkeled.  Larry had been researching and testing snorkeling equipment for the last few weeks so they were well equipped.

The next day was our first snorkeling adventure.  After about a 15 minute hike through lava fields, they arrived at Makaiwa Bay (Mauna Lani)   As stated, Larry and Debbie were well equipped but not confident especially in a bay where one could swim out to sea.  (Who are we kidding?  They couldn’t swim that far more like floating out to sea.  This is a bay for kids so how dangerous is it really?  Although Joyce did admit it was the roughest that she had seen since arriving in January.)

Once Debbie made an ungraceful entrance into the surf (somewhat like a dog chasing its tail finally falling face down into the water).   Here’s a tip:  Don’t sit down to put on flippers because it is hard to get up and turn around.  Debbie did leave Larry sitting in the sand until he finally clawed his way out.

Joyce and Jerry had already proceeded far out and were trying to tempt Debbie and Larry further out with sightings of fish.  They were successful with Debbie but Larry turned his back on them and snorkeled back toward shore when the water got too deep.  Debbie continued to be lured further out with Larry turning back to keep Debbie between him and the open sea.  (Not sure that Debbie could drag Larry back if she tried).

Debbie was excited because she started to see fish.  However, the group is not particularly sophisticated in their snorkeling report.  Here is a sample snorkeling report:

Debbie: “Well, I saw one of those yellow fishes and then I saw more of them.  Plus, I saw one that was yellow but different”.

Larry: “Yes, I saw that one too with the long nose and I saw the rainbow fish”.  (There is no such thing as a rainbow fish).

Joyce: “I saw schools of the yellow fish”.

Jerry: “I saw a bunch of different yellow fish”.

Debbie: “I saw a bunch of black fish”.

Larry: “I saw the Hmmmahhmm whatever fish …..  (National fish of Hawaii and is the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa fish)

Others: “Yes, we did too, it is the rainbow fish (It is not). “

Debbie broke down and bought a Hawaiian Reef Fish guide.  Here is what we really saw:

• Yellow Tang Surgeonfish
• Reef Triggerfish (Humuhumu nukunuku apuaa)
• Moorish Idol
• Picasso Triggerfish
• Parrotfish
• Some kind of black fish

February 2, 2017 – Paniolo Greens – Big Island, Hawaii

As they landed, Debbie had a moment of panic that no one would be there to pick them up.  Larry and Debbie were relieved and happy to see Joyce and Jerry waiting at the airport with the added benefit that the luggage also made it to Kona.

They are staying in the Waikoloa Village area on the Big Island (Hawaii).  It is an area surrounded with lava fields and not the lush green that one might expect.  The sun always shines with little rain.  Their bedroom overlooks the golf course and they awaken to the sound of turkeys gobbling in the morning.

What?  Yes, you read correctly.  History Moment: (Go on admit it.  You missed these moments.  These conversational starters for the introverts). There are turkeys in Hawaii.  Someone in the 1960’s had the bright idea to release 400 Texas turkeys on the islands.  There are now approximately 16,000 turkeys on the islands.  They have thrived on the Big Island because of the high, dry climate.  The plan was to have game birds that one can hunt on the island.  However, the plan seems to have gone awry.  There are several turkeys who grace the resort with their presence.   They like to puff up and prance around under Debbie and Larry’s window.   Larry has started gobbling out the window at them much to the surprise of some of the golfers.  Joyce does not like birds.  If the turkeys are standing around where the car is parked, this can cause Joyce to exit the car like a rocket in a dash to the door.   Debbie is convinced the turkeys are stalking Joyce.   Debbie has offered to charge the turkeys for her. (A turkey fight would be an amazing blog).

The golf course also has flocks of the state bird, Nene or Hawaiian geese, wandering with the turkeys.  Debbie wonders if the golf course is actually a big game hunting facility.  She has seen some golfers that do not come close to the hole so can only conclude that they are trying to hit the birds.  She has not seen any turkeys hanging off the golf carts but will be checking.
