Waikiki Beach as seen from just beyond Diamond Head. Oh that wonderful water!!
	Waikiki Beach - canoes everywhere
	Waikiki Beach Honestly it's extremely touristy, but if you're not here to relax it can be fun
	Waikiki Beach Ahh...the beautiful waters of the Pacific... I'm content to sit and stare at the waves all day
	Waikiki city view Sadly, it's not what it was when I first visited in the 80's -- it's now a noisy, lively city
	Waikiki at night - all lit up abuzz with activity
	Ala Moana Canal in Honolulu
	Pali Lookout A few miles outside of Honolulu is this neat little scenic overlook, offering stunning views of the city and Waikiki
	On top of the world View of Honolulu and Waikiki from Pali Lookout. Diamond Head is that bump on the left.

	To get to more scenic, pristine places, drive out near Diamond Head!!! Here is a lush, quiet park facing Diamond Head. Many people were doing yoga, it was that peaceful...
	The trees in Hawaii are amazing!!!
	A bit further up is a wonderful scenic overlook off Hwy 72 - oh so peaceful... (and very Planet of the Apes :-)
	Paragliders flying over the waters...(wish I was up there...)
	A trail takes you down to the sandy beach
	Yes, even a rooster here!
	Further up on the scenic overlook is this lush green oasis
	Relax and enjoy your lunch here...
	Haunauma Bay The waters are sparkling crystal clear. Perfect for snorkeling!
	Manicured lawns near Wai-Alea Beach Park
	Even further on Hwy 72 is this stretch of dramatic rocky beach
	Looking to the left...
	Looking to the right
	Blowhole overlook. This is a hole in the rock; when the waves hit just right, water shoots up like a geyser
	Many tourists - not what I remember from the 80's...
	Looking leftward - such beautiful scenery!
	Dramatic rocky coastline on the north side of the island
	Beautiful, quiet Sandy Beach. If Waikiki is too crowded & touristy, this is the place to go!!!
	End of a perfect day...

	Hawaii Coastline I found the island of Hawaii to be very beautiful, but dry, desolate and haunting -- much different from lush, colorful Oahu.
	Dried black swirling lava coats the island; with good reason since Hawaii is the home of many volcanoes.
	Lava beach!
	Devastation Trail in Volcanoes National Park - and aptly named!
	Huge mega crater at Volcanoes National Park Standing here, with no one anywhere near me, I felt like I was the only one left on the planet. It is that haunting...
	Another view of the huge mega crater
