This Honolulu sunrise was our first sighting of land after five days at sea on the MS Noordam. We’d sailed from Sydney originally and spent the first two weeks of our cruise traveling to and from New Zealand and then around the country. After our return to Sydney, we sailed to Honolulu.

This photo was taken on our last night in Honolulu. On the days we took the Hop On-Hop Off tour, we discovered how close our condo was to Ala Moana Park. So, on our last night in Honolulu, we decided to take a walk over to the park. We were amazed at how easy it […]

For our last night in Waikiki, we decided to take a walk to Ala Moana Park from our condo and check out the Waikiki lights. To our surprise, the walk to Ala Moana Park and even Ala Moana Mall, was an easy one. The park is a vast green space on a peninsula that sports […]

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 […]

Kilauea Lighthouse view to the east Here’s another Kilauea Lighthouse view. This one overlooks the bay to the east of the lighthouse. Seabirds make their homes along the banks of this bay. They nest in the shrubbery and take refuge on the steep inclines where they’re relatively safe. Whenever we go here, I’m entranced by […]
