My Hotel & A Golf Course

This is just so the tables stay nice and aligned. You probably could care less about the view from my lanai, or the sunrise, or the pigeons that ate my crumbs every morning, or the views from the golf course I played. But they're all here, just in case your taste in pictures is as bizarre as mine.

Kilauea

Kilauea Lighthouse, and cliffs of the north shore. There were actually two humpback whales in the cove, but they were too far for me to get any pictures of them. But if you look carefully, you can see shadows in the water.

Queen's Bath

A hike to a very well-hidden local spot, ending in a nice swim. Fortunately, I caught good weather. Otherwise, this could have been quite dangerous.

Waimea Canyon

A drive to the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", and a hike through the tropical forests overlooking the valley.

Po'ipu

Kaua'i's recreational spot! There was even a Hawaiian monk seal sunning himself on the beach. Their estimated population on the island is between 16 and 30, so seeing one, though not a unique experience, is still quite special.

Wailua/'Opaeka'a/Kuilau Ridge

A hike through a tropical forest with incredible vistas and views of the wettest spot on Earth, Mt. Waiale'ale which gets over 430 inches of rain a year. It didn't disappoint while I was there, either... There were 1000 foot vertical drops on either side of the ridge, making for a panoramic experience. And the Wailua waterfall shots came out quite nicely as well.

Ke'e Beach/Na Pali Coast

An absolutely gorgeous beach that requires some work to find. I also trailblazed a bit further to get shots of the beginning of the Na Pali coast, which wasn't exactly easy (or safe).

Lydgate Park

Incredible snorkeling... I stopped and got some fish food to try to get a few extra friends - it worked better than I ever could have anticipated.
