Times Square with Vicki Winters @mybigfatmouth

If you’ve been following my Blog you know that I’m currently obsessed with the Periscope App. And why shouldn’t I be? Yesterday in addition to the usual suspects I scope, I watched Vicki Winters (@mybigfatmouth) cruising Times Square in New York City; Anika (@LiterallyAnika) on Go-Pro Gyro-coptering above Dubai and then onboard a party yacht at the Dubai Boat Show; The Who performing LIVE in concert from the sixth row in Toronto, Canada (Thanks @Concertaholics); Ms. Lauryn Hill LIVE rehearsing in the studio in West Hollywood, California (@Jay_Rosado_215) and then Sunrise at Stonehenge from inside the circle on the Salisbury Plain in England (Thanks Dan Snow @thehistoryguy) with a handheld and a DRONE CAMERA! Here are some screenshots:

There’s a 12 hour difference between Los Angeles and Dubai, so Vicki was on in the morning and Anika was on in the afternoon. Then later on in the evening around 6pm Pacific Standard Time The Who LIVE from Toronto!

Later on at night, Jay was “slappin’ the bass” in rehearsals with Ms. Lauryn Hill and scoping from the studio. He is a really great musician and they were jammin’!

The Piece-de-Resistance was a Sunrise Scope from Stonehenge, handheld from inside the stone circle (very rare) and a second drone camera airborne along with Q&A from an expert on the World Heritage Site:

#TBT: Sunset Cruising in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii 1994

#TBT: Sunset Dinner Cruise on the Lahaina Princess in Maui, Hawaii

Throwback Thursday! 1994: On the dock at Lahaina Harbor, ready to board the Lahaina Princess, for a Sunset Dinner Cruise, in Maui, Hawaii!

Yes, it’s a total tourist thing to do….and we were gifted with FREE activities! All we had to do was attend a Timeshare presentation. We didn’t buy a timeshare, but we did get the Sunset Cruise, a Sailboat/Snorkel Excursion and a free breakfast out of the deal.

Magical Maui! The View from the Sunset Dinner Cruise – Lahaina in Maui, Hawaii

We boarded the boat, and were seated with another couple on the open air top deck. The Mai Tais were included with dinner and the cruise, so we were drunk before we left the dock I think. We quickly made friends with the other couple over the drinks. The meal was okay, to the best of my recollection, but the Mai Tais were great and everyone was in a party mood!

Mai Tai

MAI TAI: Serve on the rocks, poured over ice in a highball (or any other cocktail) glass. Ingredients: 8 parts white rum, 4 parts dark rum, 3 parts orange curaçao, 3 parts Orgeat syrup, & 2 parts fresh lime juice. Shake all ingredients except the dark rum with ice. Preparation: Strain into glass, float dark rum onto the top, garnish with pineapple spear, maraschino cherry, plastic sword & paper umbrella. Serve with straw.

Ingredients: 1.5 oz jigger spiced rum, 1.5 oz jigger coconut-flavored rum, 1 teaspoon grenadine syrup, 3 oz pineapple juice & 2 oz orange juice. Preparation: Pour into glass over ice, stir, float dark rum on top, garnish with pineapple spear, maraschino cherry, plastic sword & paper umbrella. Serve with straw.

There was live music onboard, the atmosphere was romantic, and it was a lot of fun. We cruised around on the Pacific ocean, with beautiful views of the harbor and island, had dinner, watched the gorgeous golden tropical sunset, and then returned to the dock. It was a pleasant excursion and I recommend it if you want to get “hammered” on a boat in Hawaii.
