From the air, you can’t see the road, except from directly above, but you know where it is!

A while ago, I spent some time in Lili`uokalani Gardens, in Hilo. The gardens cover almost 25 acres, including Moku Ola, better known as Coconut Island. They date back to 1917 and are named after Queen Liliʻuokalani, who was the last ruling monarch of Hawaii, before the kingdom’s overthrow by the U.S.A. in 1893.
Over the years, tsunamis have damaged the gardens, which are situated on the waterfront. But reconstruction, after these events, has restored and improved the gardens and kept them as an integral part of Hilo’s downtown.

I don’t get down to Upolu as much as I used to, but recently I headed down that way and saw this large military aircraft looping around the airstrip. It was practicing touch and goes. I managed to get there in time to see it go around a couple of times before heading back to base in Oahu. I’m not sure what kind of plane this was, but clearly one of the large transport aircraft of the U.S. military.
These are the kind of photos you take when flights are delayed. Last week, our flight to Honolulu was delayed for 20 minutes because only one runway was operating at our destination due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Coming back, the flight was delayed twice for reasons that were never explained. The upshot was that, after getting up at 5:30am to make the outbound flight, it was close to 11:00pm before we got home again!

I’m off to Honolulu for the day, so this seemed appropriate. I won’t be flying with UPS though. It would actually be more expensive to fly with them since they charge by weight and/or size! I’ll be on the other plane or one very much like it.
