Sailing Away...

This was taken on the beach at our hotel during sunset. Sometimes it would be nice to just get away for a while. Forget about the business of life and just relax. Get in the car and keep on driving, go for a long walk, get on a bus or a train or a plane, or in this case a sailboat...

The end of the earth...

We had lunch at a little bakery on the way to see the volcano. It's cool because it is the southern most bakery in the USA. Pretty neat to be able to say you've been there.

Mongoose...Squirrel...Mongoose Squirrel

This is a picture of a mongoose squirrel, known as the hawaiian version of our squirrel. They, like the little geckos, are very popular in Hawaii.

Crashing Waves

This was one of the views from the "backyard" of the condo we stayed in. I loved eating my breakfast on the lanai watching the waves crash against the rocks soaking up the sun, and watching for whales.

Golf Courses

This is a view across the way from our condo. It looks out onto another complex and a golf course in between. One thing I noticed about Hawaii is that there are A LOT of golf courses. People in Hawaii must really love golf. They are probably one of the most beautiful areas of land of golf course I have ever seen.

I love hammocks...

In the hotel we stayed at in Hawaii, the Mauna Lani, they had hammocks to lay on on the beach. It was nice and relaxing. I love hammocks and have always wanted one.

Volcano Crater

This is one of the many craters of a volcano in Hawaii. They had several different ones along a very long stretch of road called the chain of craters. Each one a different width and depth. I think the bigger ones are the coolest.

Sea Turtles...

When I was in Hawaii I got to see several sea turtles up close. I also got to snorkle with them and follow them swimming.

Aloha...

Hey all,

Sorry it's been awhile since I last blogged. I've been on vacation in Hawaii. It was my first time on the big island and I really had a great time. The weather was warm and sunny and the scenery was beautiful. This is a picture on the beach at sunset.
