The Hawaii State Capitol’s architecture includes symbolism. These columns match the number of main islands and represent royal palm palms.

It was a balmy, humid morning when I took this photo. We’d been at sea for five days when this beautiful sight came into view. In the distance, beyond the nearly empty deck of the MS Noordam are the first signs of a Hawaiian sunrise.

The Kauai coastline just north and west of Kapaa has a beauty all its own. This section is a beautiful place to walk or just hang out and watch the shore. This photo was taken in 2015 and I doubt it much has changed. There are enough rocks and the surf isn’t as good as […]

Our last trip to Maui was in 2015. It rained heavily the night before, so the rivers were flowing and the waterfalls falling. We had no idea when we decided to go visit the Iao Valley on the other side of Maui that we were going to be headed into more rain and clouds that […]

The magnificence of Iolani Palace can be seen from the moment you enter the grounds. The palace, which was commissioned by King David Kalākaua, is the only royal palace on US soil. For those who love beautiful architecture, this is a wonderful place to visit. Even standing on the outside of the wrought iron fence […]

It seems strange that not so long ago, this photo of Halema‘uma‘u taken from the visitor center at Hawaii Volcanos National Park was the way it had looked for a very long time. Now, the view at Kilauea summit is very different. This photo comes from the National Park Service website. And just so you know, […]

Digging back through my photos from our 2015 trip to Kauai, I discovered this Lydgate Park Heiau. This covers part of the Hikinaakala Heiau, a sacred area that was once much more built-up. Sadly, when the Hawaiian religion was abolished in the late 1800s, the rocks were torn out and used for roads. This is all […]

Liliuokalani Gardens in Hilo are a must-see. It’s what I was told by a friend several years ago, and a mantra I’ve repeated since the first time we stopped there. There are so many things to see at the gardens. It pays to plan on slowing down your pace to view everything from the Liluokalani […]

Every time I see one of these Lahaina banyan trees, I’m amazed at their root system and at how their branches can extend for such large distances. They are truly an amazing tree and so beautiful.

Spouting Horn on Kauai No matter how many times we’ve been to the island of Kauai, one of our must-see attractions has always been Spouting Horn. It’s one of those magnificent natural experiences all visitors should see. If you’re a believer that many myths are often grounded in reality, then you must wonder if perhaps […]
