Honolulu Hawaii

Well, I thought I would start posting some of the Hawaii pictures. These pictures are from the Honolulu portion of the Hawaii trip. I figured I had better get started on this since Gale has been posting hers and making me look bad. We stayed at the Outrigger Reef on Waikiki Beach. It's a very nice hotel and just steps from the ocean. I know Michael posted a few pictures from our first day there, but I thought I would add a few more before moving on to the Kauai part of the trip.




This is a picture of the Outrigger pool taken from the balcony in our room.



This is the ceiling fan set up at the Shorebird. We stopped in at the Shorebird for a Mai Tai before walking along the beach.



This is looking towards Diamond Head which is just barely visible behind the palm trees.



It was a bit cloudy and rainy while we were there as you can see from this picture.



One of the sights on our walk.

Michael in front of a banyan tree. A very interesting tree.



A closer view of the Banyan tree.




Michael trying to be Vanna White.



The Pink Flamingos were at the Hilton Hawaiian village.



Gale says this is an Ibis.







This little bird was my friend while we were waiting for the shuttle to take us to the airport to meet up with Kim, Gale and Dave. Next stop Kauai.

Boring'ol Hawaii

Well, here we are.Waikiki. Whodathunkit.
Kinda commercial, kinda cliche, but still pretty darn nice.

This is a bit of rainbow as seen from the beach. 
We weren't certain what it meant, and then we started getting wet.
















This is the hotel as seen from the beach. The lil'ole rock is Diamond Head


















We got a free room upgrade, so we can actually see ocean. Nice bed too.
