Day 93: Maui! pt 1

The sun rose as we slowly cruised into Maui.  We had to get moving because we had scheduled a Road to Hana tour… Out on the road we started with a nice rainbow… Of course, rainbows frequently come with…rain…this is the little road we were on.  The Road to Hana comes complete with warnings against […]

Day 92!

One more quick shot of the Honolulu Habour as the sun was setting… (!/6, f4, 26mm, ISO 1000) ~Curtis in Hawai’i! {!-{>

Day 91!

After we had passed Waikiki and gotten a bit further on, you could look back to see Diamond Head nestled amongst the diamonds… ~Curtis in Hawai’i! {!-{>

Day 90!

As we sailed away from Honolulu, we passed along the famous Waikiki Beach…from a distance! (This is a panorama from two photos.  Click to enlarge, and BACK to return!) ~Curtis in Hawai’i! {!-{>

Day 89: Onboard the Pride of America!

It was a very orderly boarding of the Pride of America, but we still had about a three and a half hour wait until our stateroom was ready.  The ship carries 2200-2400 passengers, and all of those staterooms have to be cleaned and refitted between about 10am and 3pm.  We looked around a bit, and […]

Day 88: Our last morning on Oahu!

We had to be out of our room at the Ko Olina by ten, and the boarding at Pier 2 started at noon.  Here is a nice few of the center of the resort. A Black Crowned Night Heron over by the golf course! A short Cattle Egret.  They seem as numerous in Hawai’i as […]

Day 87: Still around Honolulu!

From the Hawaiian Railway Society we headed down to Downtown and Waikiki! We quickly found the Hard Rock Cafe, and looped the block thrice before locating a parking garage…that is MY chocolate milkshake, BTW… The Hard Rock Wave of Guitars… … . The Dailylife Wife’s lemonade… Our lunch: Nachos! A small part of Waikiki Beach. […]

Day 86: Around Honolulu…

The day started with another nice buffet at the longboard, with the birds… Spotted dove. They don’t hold still much, but I got one a little more in focus! “What?  I don’t remember posing for this stupid sign!” We actually got stopped by a train!  It was a school excursion at the Hawaiian Railway Society! […]

Day 85: The end of the day at last!

After the Polynesian Cultural Center we headed on around the Island to get back to the Ko Olina.  Here are a few of the sights we saw! (All photos by the Dailylife Wife: I was driving!) What is that up in the sky? Why, it is people who step off of cliffs and fly like […]

Day 84: Hula Gir…errr…the Parade of Canoes!

They have a daily parade of canoes with the different Islands costumes and dances. This is a small election.  I got a lot of video, too, and it is all too big to post here! Na Ali’i O Hawaii (King and Queen) Samoa Fiji makes a splash! Tahiti Closeup! Hawaii Spreading flower pedals! An interesting […]
