Hi, how good are our chances of viewing whales, either from our location or a sight-seeing boat? I am so looking forward to seeing them. Thanks very much.

I am not sure where you are planning on seeing whales....but we went on a tour in February on Kauai and saw several whales. I also saw one jumping out of the water from our hotel. The season in generally Dec-Mar.

The whales are visible in Norway from our location AND from a sight-seeing boat. What village will you be staying in?

I saw 8 on my cruise with the New England Aquarium last month. They guarantee whales, giving a free ticket for another trip if you do not see any.

Fantastic Keith! You really should pay attention to the location that was requested. New England was not in my question at all.It was HAWAII.

But, but, but--- you said "...either from our location or..." but you never stated your location in your post. ??!!?

They have a story about the first
whale sighted this year.

orchid, you did not state time of year or place in your original post. If you clicked on "Hawaii" for the area of interest, that does not show up in the header or the text that you write. Check it out and don't be snippy unless you're 200% sure you're right.

WOW! what an attitude...You owe someone an apology!

C'mon Orchid apologize!! You didn't mention Hawaii, and you got responses about New England and Norway!

Geeez,another grumpy poster. And one asking for advise to boot!

Orchid, since you did NOT indicate any location that you were interested in, would it be perhaps nice of you to at least thank the posters that took the time to answer your question?

In my opinion it would be the thing to do.

What...you mean you folks can't read her mind..where are those ESP skills people.

We are probably all brain dead from listening and reading the political news, you think?? LOL

Come on, Orchid -- you owe the apology. Be a good girl and take your lumps so we can get on with helping you.

I suspect Orchid has left the building. Probably out of sheer embarrassment.

To bad she didn't ask about taking her two-month old whale to Vegas. Now, that'd be a fun thread to read.

Orca, there is good whale watching in the Bay of Fundy in Canada !

But guess most of you have not heard the latest. Don't know if there is a thread on the Europe board about this yet BUT the exciting news is that in that little lake in Molvania (think it is called Lake Slimy) there is a whale!!!

Orchid might want to check this out.

As for the rest of you, think I would skip this tourist attraction.

Except maybe you Crefloors, you are going to Molvania any day aren't you?

Hi, if it is so much trouble answering nicely, and if it is an inconvenience - don't bother. Amazing how people cannot wait to get in their "digs". There is no need for an apolgy.What on earth for?? What has happened to decency and respect? This board is for people wishing for answers to what they feel are is important to them. If the question is posted on the Hawaii site, New England or whatever does not come into play.

orchid, you just don't get it. You may click on Hawaii, but there is no way for the person reading your message to know that you did so. When we read your question, it doesn't say anything about the location, and it appears on the US BOARD. There is NO Hawaii board. Understand? Just look at your question. Where does it say Hawaii?

As for decency and respect, you were the one who got snippy to start with, and you owe the apology to Keith.
