DINKS Travel Our 2.5 mile hike from Yokohama Bay to the Ka'ena Point Nature Area Reserve on the island of Oahu, HI was rewarded when we witnessed the courtship dance of two Laysan Albatrosses.

Matt: To be honest, the Albatross dance got me a little bit aroused. No small trick at my stage of the game! Please don't tell Jenn.
Dave - Your secret is safe with me...Albatross love happens.
The mating dance of the Polynesian Albatross is not see by many. It is said that those who witness such an event in the wilderness will bring a great abundance of fertility to their tribe or family. Hmmmmm..... from the post above maybe that is more true than many had believed.
Uncle - Indeed, we were very fortunate to witness the unique display of dancing prowess first-hand; we expect the birth announcement from Dave and his albatross bride in the coming months.
Dave, my heartiest congratulations. I am so looking forward to the eight week sonogram. Will you be posting results soon?
