CBS) Talk about whirlwind weekends!
Dave Price and travel companion Frank Kulbaski, a
lawyer from Washington, D.C., headed Friday for
the clear blue waters of the South Pacific -- and
Tahiti!
To get there, they flew from Washington to New
York, then to Tahiti, then back via Los Angeles;
Dave continued on to New York. Dave logged
13,295 miles for the weekend, making his running
total for this latest series of All-Access trips 44,841
miles.
On Wednesday, Dave let Early Show viewers in on
some of the fun he and Frank had on their
Tahitian "All-Access" adventure.
They went snorkeling among some of the most
exotic fish in the world, not to mention some
sharks; swam with dolphins; ate delicious tropical
foods, and learned how to mix Tahitian drinks.
They participated in a traditional local festival that
had them lifting heavy stones and throwing
javelins, among other things.
They even took a helicopter to an island once
owned by a big star. It's still looked after by the
star's son and will be the site of an eco-friendly
hotel within a few years.
A thankful Frank called his adventure "an amazing
experience for me that I'll never have again."
