Typically, I don't even want people to mention Chrismukkah until after Thanksgiving, but this year, I have holiday zeal coming out of my arse.* Good thing too because Hanukkah is coming early this year (December 2nd).
So early in fact, that Mr. Spice and I have been talking about what we want for Chrismukkah since July!! Yep, I said July.
You'll might think I am crazy, but this present requires some prior planning and savings.
This is what I want:
Holy latkes Batman!!!
No, we didn't win the lottery and I am not buying a helicopter for Chrismukkah. BUT as part of a super duper holiday vacation to the Kona Coast with Mr. Spice's family-- we are going to splurge even more, and gift each other a helicopter ride around the big island!!!
Seriously, I have been dreaming of this helicopter ride for months. One- I have never been on a helicopter and two, HAWAII, hello!!!! Just the vacation that this girl desperately needs, and Mr. Spice totally deserves.
Anyway, the point of this post is more than just to share my excitement (sorry, my Mom told me bragging was a no no in Kindergarten), but really, I want to ask your advise. Has anyone ever been on a helicopter ride on the big island??? I've been looking on Trip Advisor,** but I am wondering if anyone has first hand experience and could offer up a recommendation??
I think it's between Safari and Blue Hawaiian.
Anyone, anyone? Well, in that case, are you asking for anything super big for the holidays?
*My holiday craziness is totally going to pay off to you the reader- I already have a holiday giveaway up my sleeve.
**We planned our entire honeymoon on Trip Advisor- and that trip was awesomeness.

I haven't been on a heli ride on the Big Island, but I went on one in Maui! The views were incredible, but I got extremely airsick. I recommend tons of Drammamine if you are prone to air/car/seasickness. It was an amazing experience though!
So awesome! I absolutely love Hawaii!
So jealous!! I think I'm the only person in Seattle who hasn't been to Hawaii!!
That is a great gift to give each other-
I have never been but two different cousins did and and said it was well worth the splurge!
i haven't been to Hawaii, but helicopter rides are REALLy fun!
No heli advice, but omg, you will LOVE the Big Island! Use this book: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Big+Island+Revealed&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=5354324965607836404&ei=yjfcTIiLFsKmnAff7JQX&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCUQ8wIwAg#. It's written by locals and gives seriously good advice. Take a walk to the green sand beach and make sure you get to see some lava flow! have fun!
JEALOUS! I've never been to Hawaii, and I could have gone there and stayed with a friend for free. I deserve a kick in the pants! Have a great time! Happy Chrismukkah early (I agree I need until Thanksgiving!).
