Déjàlà: Hawaii - Our Version of the South Pacific Islands
http://svdejala.blogspot.com/2014/07/hawaii-us-version-of-south-pacific.html
Jul 15, 2014. Hawaii - Our Version of the South Pacific Islands. A tourist is a fellow who drives thousands of miles. So he can be photographed standing in front of his car . Surfboard are used for everything from. Wind-vanes to road signs. First stop Oahu – best known for Honolulu, Waikiki and the invention of surfing! Oahu was our least favorite island – way too touristic, flashy and impersonal. We nicknamed it the Las Vegas of Hawaii. Many beautiful sculptures can be found around the island -. Like an...

Déjàlà: Altavista Petroglyphs
http://svdejala.blogspot.com/2012/03/altavista-petroglyphs.html
Mar 13, 2012. A handshake beats an autograph. La Pila del Rey (River basin of king) - low water line at this time of year. Up early today to visit the petroglyphs of Altavista. First time we have to use an alarm clock in a long time. We are not used to that anymore. We left early to be back before the heat of the day. Some of the petroglyphs are nearly impossible to distinguish even after they are pointed out for they are from 2,000-2,300 BC! Our guide Alvaro near the five steps of knowledge. We taste co...

Déjàlà: Mexico vs. French Polynesia
http://svdejala.blogspot.com/2014/05/mexico-vs-french-polynesia.html
May 21, 2014. Mexico vs. French Polynesia. A traveler without observation. Is a bird without wings. Either Mexico or French Polynesia - Ready, Set, Go. From the continual road, sidewalk, or porch sweeping of Mexico, everyone handy with a broom; we are now in the land of rakes. Everywhere you look you find people raking leaves, needles or trash off roadways and yards, keeping the islands quite pristine. Tifaifai - type of quilting in. On wall in Papeete's Town Hall. Many, if not most, of the plants we hav...

Déjàlà: Us
http://svdejala.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
Two crazies with the motto:. If you don't live on the edge you are taking too much space.". Between the two of us we had about two weeks of sailing under our belt before heading out so sea on 11/1/11. Without a motor and only a small electric engine to get us in/out of marinas or back down on the anchor, we HAD to quickly learn as we aimed south to Mexico, our first destination. Please come join us! Nikki the real Captain. I adopted a couple of humans to sail me around to check out this wonderful world.

Déjàlà: Matanchén Cove, Magical Village of Floating Lights
http://svdejala.blogspot.com/2012/02/email-post.html
Feb 24, 2012. Matanchén Cove, Magical Village of Floating Lights. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Sunset at the end of our first day in Matanchén Cove. Sailing under very dark moonless and starless night, a few sprinkles tinkling around us sounding like rice Krispies popping in fresh milk, we approach Matanchén Cove very slowly for we do not want to arrive before light. Thanks for the advice about what time to arrive. It sounds like quite the obstacle course! The Dead and The Fantastical Com...

Déjàlà: Rurutu,The Island of Traditions
http://svdejala.blogspot.com/2014/07/while-very-brittle-these-rocks-are.html
Jul 13, 2014. Rurutu,The Island of Traditions. Be interested, not interesting. While very brittle, these rocks are amazing. I think following this saying is even more important while traveling. Stay open minded, ask questions, be curious, be mindful, share only when people are inquiring and you will discover much more about the community and places you are visiting. They love to know you are interested, inquisitive, very much like them, etc. Let the doors open…. We stayed in Vitaria which means:. The onl...

Déjàlà: Hawaii's Big Island - An Ethereal Feel
http://svdejala.blogspot.com/2014/07/hawaiis-big-island.html
Jul 16, 2014. Hawaii's Big Island - An Ethereal Feel. A mind that is stretched by a new experience. Can never go back to its old dimensions. Roses of Siam from the ginger family -. Our favorite of the three Hawaiian islands we visited: folks thinking and living outside the box and in constant uncertainty due to active volcanoes…. The very nature of having active volcanoes at your doorstep gives the Big Island a completely different feel. You still own the land that can now be located 75-100 feet below wh...

http://svdejala.blogspot.com/2014/07/tahiti-third-times-charm.html
Jul 14, 2014. Tahiti - Third Time's a Real Charm. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things. Cannot be acquired by vegetating. Of the earth all of one's lifetime. Dancers' feet waiting to start. I guess I misspoke when I wrote that Rurutu was our last stop in French Polynesia. I had forgotten our needed quick return to Tahiti for our flight back to North America via Hawaii. Cultural festival we mentioned in previous post). The wonderful mamie who made my hat -. Check out her head piece! ItR...
