HAWAII~~

This is a picture journal type blog of our amazing trip to Hawaii.

These pictures are of the first day, Friday April 30, 2010. The first is of Rob and I on our plane. Nonstop to Honolulu. The second is our arrival at the HNL airport. Rob arranged a Lei greeting for me. It was so sweet. After checking in to our hotel (it was a hilton on waikiki) we went up to our room on the 36 floor. This is a view straight out in front of us. There were some great views if you look to the side too but that would be too many pictures. The next 2 pictures are of us on Waikiki beach. There was a peir we walked out on and the other is of a tree that is crazy looking. It seems to have branches or something that grow down ward and once they hit the ground they become roots. it is really weird. the last picture is of the sun set of course. It was the best one we saw due to clouds. The next one is of Rob and I on our cruise ship. We boarded Saturday afternoon. The ship set sail at about 7 pm so we spent the morning lingering around at the beach, and then boarded in the early after noon and lingered on board. The next 2 pictures were on our day at sea. We sailed around the Molokai coast and saw the leper colony. This is a rescue operation "code oscar" as it is called because some one fell overboard. It was a crew member and he was saved. It was kind of crazy. I noticed the ship was turning and heard the "code oscar" so i went up higher to see and noticed we were doing "donuts" in the water and then saw the rescue boat and the man in the water. Once they pulled him he must have passed out because he went completely limp. We stopped near Maui where a boat took him to shore. I believe he was fine. This other picture is of us off of one of the uninhabited islands on our at sea day. There were lots of things to do on board. this is one of us playing shuffle board.May 3, 2010. Maui. We were only able to spend 1 day on Maui. There is so much to do on each Island it was hard to narrow it down. We rented a car and drove the road to Hana. It was beautiful. It was a long and windy road that took several hours to complete. We stopped a few times and hiked a little and took pictures. There were some

waterfalls and just beautiful scenery.

Rob is the dare devil of the 2 of us. he climbed the

rocks a little way up and jumped into the water hole. I am a chicken and didnt

even get it. It was pretty

though. There

were lots of jungle vines growing from trees so Rob took

them for a spin. they held up pretty nicely. It was a beautiful place. Minus this

crazy spider we saw at a look out point. At the end of the Road to Hana we were able to go into a lava tube. It was through some mans property but it was fun. this is the entrance to that tube.

It went down the stairs into the ground. then this is one of me in the tube. it was pretty cool. Really dark down in side more. You couldnt even see your hand in front of your face if you turned off the flash light.

Maui was beautiful. There were lots of colors as seen here in the scenery. After we made it back, we didnt have much time before we had to be back on board so what did we do? We went to walmart. We got a few snacks, Coke and reeses pieces, and some souvenirs and headed back to the boat for dinner. It was a great day and we loved it. It was a little over cast but still beautiful.

Well i need to take a break so I will continue to post more about the other days later. Til then...
