We were originally planned to take the helicopter ride at 9 30 AM on Sunday.. we get there at around nine o clock, drive down to the helipad just to find out it is cancelled (see they even cancel helicopter rides in addition to airplanes.....) There seemed to be something wrong with the helicopter... of course I am ticked because that was the ONE thing we REALLY wanted to do, and we scheduled all of our other things around this helicopter tour... so of course I was about in tears... and was about to just forget the whole thing and get our money back... but Brady the sense of reason talked to the guy and got us in a flight at 2 30... boy am I glad we didn't throw in the towel. (70% of the island you can not see by car). We saw the whole island, Waimea Canyon (which is known as the Grand Canyon of the pacific) we also saw Mount Wai'ale'ale (which is the wettest spot on earth raining anywhere between 600-800 inches a year, whereas the northshore of the island maybe rains 8 inches). We were able to see our hotel and much much more. It was truly my favorite part of our Kauai trip... and to think if it wasn't for Brady we would have given up on it.
