Hawaii

OMG we had such a good time in Hawaii. The trip getting there and back was not the greatest, especially the trip home (red eye flight which made for a VERY long day), but it was a totally relaxing and fun time. The above shot is what we saw from the balcony of the condo we stayed in.

I do believe I ate fish everyday going from expensive to cheap and it was all good. This is not only a GREAT looking salad, but the BEST poke salad I have ever had. For those of you who are not sushi eaters - bed of lettuce with fresh (raw) ahi salmon on top. The dressings were awesome and certainly added to the taste.

We had a couple of great adventures while on the island. We took a boat cruise out and around the Napali Coast, which was awesomely beautiful. This is a picture of the sunrise as we were leaving the dock in the morning.

We had the opportunity to see some humpback whales, dolphines and manarays. They were there as clear as could be, but the water was a bit rough and it was really had to get good pictures. We did manage to capture a couple of good videos.

The shot on the right is a mamaray and of course the dolphines are on the left. We have spouts from the whales and a tail slapping the water, but they are so far away it is hard to see them.

We also took a tube ride down and through the irrigation ditches, which was total fun and very informative and interesting. That little adventure could not be taken without getting VERY wet, not to mention it poured rain on us at the beginning and end of the trip. We have a water camera that we have to take in for developing of pictures. With the movement of the water, we will be lucky to get any decent shots.

Kauai had massavies amouts of rain this year and they had 200 fully active water falls. We got some good pictures. I will try to post some pictures on ImageStation OR everyone just might have to come to visit to take a look at them!
