Hawaii Travel Blogs

Earlier in the week my mom had said, "I want to go to the end of the earth, I just need to figure out how to get there." I laughed so hard; I had no idea what she was talking about. She was referring to Ka Lae (also known as South Point), which is the southernmost point of the United States. We wer…

     We decided to drive out and look at the property that is the Parker Ranch.   We had driven through it briefly on the bus but we didn't really get to look at it.    The history of the parker ranch is fascinating...  the founder was a nineteen ye…

After spending three glorious nights in Waikiki, it was now time to fly off to the Big Island of Hawaii. For those of you not familiar with the islands of Hawaii (the state), there are six main islands, Oahu, Hawaii (the Big Island), Maui, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai.     Hawaii is …

For a long time I had been dreaming of seeing the Hawaiian volcanoes. I remember watching those amazing documentary images of the lava flows and the formation of the pillow-lavas as the lava cools down at the contact with sea water. On the RTW trip that I did in 2006 I made a 4 day stop in Ha…

On our last full day on the Big Island we decided to go snorkeling. I had never done that before, and it was a weird feeling at first. I felt claustrophobic, which is weird because I've never been one to suffer through that. So it took me all of 10 minutes to get the hang of it. But once I did…

Sorry for the quality, but I think my digital camera in 2001 wasn't defined in mega-pixels but mega-crappy.

We spent several days cruising around and between the islands, stopping at roughly one a day.  Went snorkeling in Maui, which was great...too bad we used an underwater camera, so I don't have the pictures on my computer.  Sadness.  After the snorkeling ("snorkeling" is a great wor…

I'll leave the intrepid visitor to find out the history of the park here: http://www.nps.gov/puho/For me - there was something very calming about this area. Seeing the statues, the location and watching the green turtles was great.

Our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. From lucious green grass to volcanic fields with flowing lava, this island has it all.

Two of my girlfriends and i took a trip to Hawaii, USA in Feb this year. We stayed in Wakiki beach, spent our time at the beach, shopping and enjoying the nightlife.  We especially loved  'Nashville' -  a country and western pub on the main drag, where we took part in a pubcrawl -&nb…

Hawaii 2005.

Aaahhh...the sweet smells of pineapple and plumeria flowers. The firey torches lined along the main. The oceans crashing waves fill a scent of salt in the air.Mountains of many faces and stories...these are the landscapes of Hawaii....

My "move" home proved to be a wash. Instead, I left a few weeks later with a couple of the most memorable vacations of my life.

Our first trip with the babies. They have since become quite the travelers.
