This post is being broken up into two parts. This one covers the photos with captions. I also have a fun little video I’ve put together of me at the beach, which I will post soon.

So without further delays, here’s a photo summary of my trip to Hawaii.

- Coming into our final decent into the airport

- and we have landed and are going to get our baggage

- On the beach at Waikiki. Vast ocean behind me.

- the view from our table at a hotel bar, looking at Waikiki beach

- we found penguins in Hawaii…

… and the reason why they are in Hawaii

- onto Pearl Harbor – that’s my wife standing by the sign

- The Arizona Memorial

- landed at Kona Int’l airport. I don’t know who that is in front of me

- the view outside our room at the Hilton Grand Vacations Beach Resort. No, I didn’t play golf in Hawaii… I know… Doh!

- the bay at the Hilton’s main hotel area (walking distance from the Hilton Grand Vacations)

- Kealakekua Bay – we kayaked here and went snorkeling

- at Pu’uhonuaohonaunau Park – that’s me and my wife. The happy looking couple we are

- I’ve always wanted to take a photo like this.. oh yeah, I did

- even though it rained, we both had fun horseback riding

- I belong at the beach, especially a nice beach like Hapuna State Beach

- we’ve still got that romantic side to us

- another great happy photo of my wife and I at Akaka Falls, near Hiro

- incredible to see a live volcano (no lava this trip)

- the entrance to the lava tube, part of the volcano area

and one last shot of Hawaii…

- the morning of our last day in Hawaii. A parting sunrise

Loved It

And that’s my vacation summary in photos. Next up is a video that documents all that photos can’t capture.
