Hawaiian Adventures part 1 – The house, the beach, the snorkeling

I had so many favorite photos from our trip to Hawaii that I had to break it up into 3 posts! So here we go:

Our first sight in Hawaii – the Honolulu Airport

Chris was a little hungry after the 9 hour flight…

those flowers were awesome and smelled really good

cute!

we ate dinner outside… I forget the name of the place now but it was pretty good

This was the creepiest thing I saw in Hawaii

This guy guarded the Lanai

Check out the plantation!




inside was just sweet ice cold coconut milk… quite good!


this was the view outside our room at night, I will never forget it


the moon was really bright that night

The second day we were there we went to the beach and snorkeled!!

note:All of the beach and under water photos were taken with our Olympus 850SW point and shoot. If you like taking photos at the beach or under water at all, I highly recommend purchasing a waterproof digital camera. The quality is SO MUCH BETTER than those throwaway film underwater cameras and you get to take unlimited photos with this!

We saw this guy from shore and I ran into the water with a quickness… AMAZING

I was pretty into the snorkeling and actually swam out to an off shore island that some of our group was kayaking out to and got there before they did!

This is a sea cucumber! (if anyone at a sushi place ever tries to tell you is a veggie, it is most certainly an animal)


Im guessing that this guy was eating something in the coral

we snorkel!

my5 year old niece said that I was being a mermaid in this photo

these photos are actually of the beach at turtle bay

getting a ride on a golf cart to a secret cove

our helpful driver

and another beach! this one was on the northshore

we saw lots of turtles here!

these are the last of the favorite underwater photos – taken on our last day in hawaii just a few hours before getting back on the plane

whats better than an underwater photo? an underwater MACRO photo!

Nice cold showers to get the salt and sand off before our 9 hour flight home
