helicopter ride to Mibu

In order to get to Geoff and Shannon's house in PNG, you either can hike for a day or so, or you can take a helicopter ride.  Those are the two basic options, as the terrain of the country make it impossible to create roads to certain areas.  We, as you may have guessed, chose the helicopter option. 

To get to Mibu, it is important to leave in the morning, because the fog moves in mid-morning and sticks around in the afternoon, making it impossible for a helicopter to make its way in.  (High visibility is apparently important when a pilot is negotiating his way through mountains).
