Mel and Janet's Excellent Adventure

This blog is a way for Janet and Mel to communicate with friends and family during their incredible journeys following retirement. Of course, some adventures are less than incredible. You might not find those here. Their most recent adventure took them to Okinawa, Japan to see their now 4-year old twin grandchildren, Milana Michelle and Tavis Michael. Feel free to add your comments, questions, or just news. Private communications can be sent to m-muchnik@sbcglobal.net.

And Watch Out for Flying Coconuts

Janet has described the experience wonderfully. Just a couple of additions. We were warned to stay indoors because of flying debris including cocunut tree leaves and the actual cocnuts propelled by the 85 mph winds. Yeeks.

I must say being on the beach during the eye of the storm was eerie and wildly exciting. It was if the Cyclone was finally announcing its presence as it came 10-14 miles off the coast of exactly where we were.

We are in the Southern Cooks in Rarotonga - several hundred miles south of Samoa. But the tropical cyclones have been tracking from there to here.
