Voted off the Island
Well, I never made it to La Palma. As I posted previously, we were having trouble flying to La Palma from Tenerife in the Canary Islands. We tried one last day to fly but we were thwarted again. Since we missed the window of opportunity for our business plans we decided to return home as scheduled, after a little more sight-seeing of course.
Tenerife was very beautiful, the food was excellent and the people were extremely friendly towards us. I would definitely recommend the Canary Islands if you’re looking for an island-style vacation.
“Stuck” on Tenerife
I am currently in Puerto de la Cruz on island of Tenerife, which is part of the Canary Islands. I said I am “stuck” here because I am supposed to be on the island of La Palma for business but can’t seem to make it there. The small plane we took from Tenerife to La Palma had to abort its landing (at the last second I might add) due to high winds and returned to Tenerife. I have never seen so many people look for the exit and double check if they remembered where the life vests were located. We tried to go again this morning but all flights were canceled so instead we did some sight seeing around the island. The weather has been beautiful, despite the wind, and between the beer and paella, I am certainly having a good time “working”. We will give La Palma one last try tomorrow morning otherwise we will just have to go home. C’est la vie. Wait….that’s French. Oh well.
