Hawaii

No doors to the entrance of our hotel! Wakiki Resort Hotel.
Looking out on our balcony back towards the "city" side. It is very crowded in Wakiki (Honolulu). After awhile the crowds got to be too much. Maybe we are too Wyomingish now.
This is looking towards the USS Arizona memorial (the ship is still under there with over 900 men entombed inside) and the USS Missouri ship that was in 3 wars before is was retired to this site.
This is at the top of Diamond Head. We climbed up the crater from that little parking lot down in the center of the picture. It was tough but we met people who climb up and down 3-5 times for their exercise. Ugh. It was a spectacular view at the top and so worth the climb!


This was looking at Wakiki from the top of Diamond Head.
On our drive around the island, we stopped to see a blow hole and this pretty area of coastline.
That's a whale and it's baby out there playing in the water. Quite a fun site to see it jumping up out of the water!
More coastline. This was the first beach we came to after leaving Wakiki. The water really is that blue and the sand that white.
