I haven't had a chance to read your entire report yet; I'll do that when I have a little more time. I scrolled through your pictures and they are incredible - just beautiful.

Life... wow... ALOHA!!!

I loved skimming through your journal... can't wait to go back & read the whole thing. Great pix. I especially enjoyed your arial shots.

You're a lovely couple... looks like you had a wonderful time.

Mahalo for sharing.

What a wonderful report! Interspersing the
pictures makes it much easier to follow!

I've bookmarked it for our trip next May!
So glad you had fun!

Loved your report - I'm off to Kauai next year and now I can't wait.
Last time in Hawaii we had a similar experience to you with surfing... after having a lesson we rented boards on our own and found out it was much much harder without an instructor!!

Life,

Great report! Your shots of Hanalei and the bay had me doing a Pavlov's Dog.

Only 295 (days, not lbs) now and counting!

Awww, shucks! Thanks for the compliments!

I can't wait until we can go back! (Probably be a while though. Sigh.)

Your pictures are really lovely. You saw many of the same places we did on our trip to B.I.
A well deserved bump to the top for a great trip report.
Aloha.

Hi Lifes, I so enjoyed your trip report and your wonderful photos! I just emailed it to my stepdaughter. They went to Maui for their first visit to Hawaii and can hardly wait to go back after the holidays. Their interests are the same as yours so thought your thread and photos would give them some wonderful ideas. Hope you two can get back to beautiful Hawaii in the near future! Thanks for sharing your trip, wish I was back in Hawaii right now.

Hi LifesaDance. Thank you for the great photos and commentary. Thanks for the memories--yours and the ones my young grandchildren and I shared while looking at your photos! LOVED the underwater whale picture (the kids' fave too!) the one of Kee Beach (BIG memories) and the "red lava" photo In fact, they're all terrific and evocative.
