Crew at attention as ship comes into port
Honolulu, as seen from somewheres
Ubiquitous tree, called ?
Driveby of Hawaiin gov't building
King Kamehameha's Palace
And downtown Honolulu

Our guide Owen can handle any number of cameras
Working through the lineup
Backdrop for group photo
A hotel we couldn't afford
Windward side of Oahu, traveling along eastern shore

Hawaiian coastline
Beautiful blue water, gentle waves
Why doesn't this thing go any faster?

Another crater

Reef, shallow water clearly visible
Snorkelers exploring the reef
"Deep" water, almost 3 ft.
Across Hanauma Bay

Bay is actually an old crater, worn down to almost nothing
Looking up at Diamond Head rim
Turbulent ocean water

Wave splash: 2
Wave splash: 3
Halona blowhole blows
And the water swirls back down

Steep, volcanic mountains
Island of Molokai
Waimanalo beach, one of the longest on the islands
Beach wood
Footprints by Janis, sculpted by ocean
These are the real Cliffs of Insanity
From "Pali Lookout"
Vulcanism evident everywhere
Wind and clouds move over the green isle
More vistas
Sharp cliffs at left
Clouds descending
Steepness
More ridgelines in the distance
Mountain scrub
Chinaman's hat island
Bluff
A tree grows in Hawaii
Waterfall through a bus window darkly
Double rainbow from Roundtop
Rainbow graces the valley
Make a wish
Look, it ends in the tree!
And the other end
Nice view of Diamond Head
Punchbowl Crater, Honolulu
Honolulu, our hotel somewhere at left
Site of too many fine all-you-can-eat breakfasts
