FC: Hawaii 2007 Oahu and Maui Oahu and Maui

1: The first day began early...pre-dawn early with a 5:15am flight from Oahu to Maui. I've got chubby cheeks b/c I've got some bagel in my mouth.

2: The Road to Hana was an interesting day trip. From spitballs, to lonely dog guarding private road, to road-blocking constructions, it was full of surprises and wonders. The poor student driver learning how to drive on this road.

3: First waterfall opportunity at Hanawi Falls. Still cold and drizzly at 9am.

4: Sun finally broke through by the time we got to Wai'anapanapa Black Sand Beach.

6: Wailua Falls, Maui

8: It was so windy at 7 Sacred Pools! I think I almost toppled over a few times.

10: 7 Sacred Pools felt like the destination of this roadtrip because we headed back to Kahului after leaving this gorgeous place.

11: Yay! My sorta-secret, hidden waterfall.

12: Oooh, my first malasada from Leonard's Bakery! | Actually, it became my first two malasadas since just one wasn't enough.

13: My first Hawaiian shave ice from Waiola (on McCully). We unanimously agreed that this location has finer, more fluffy shave ice than the Waiola on Kapahulu. Hooray for hole-in-the-wall places!

14: When we hit up Wal-mart and Costco, we stocked up on chocolate-covered macadamia nuts...and other junk food essentials. How could we not? Look at Wal-mart's display!

15: Germaine's Luau Is it just me or are their complimentary cocktails quite strong?

16: The jump-off rock at Waimea Bay, North Shore which I did NOT jump off, but 3 of my friends did.

18: I probably shouldn't be smiling in a photo taken at Pearl Harbor, but it was such a sunny and breezy day that I couldn't help it.

19: USS Arizona Memorial

20: I learned how to surf! Surfing >>> Snowboarding

21: He also learned how to surf!

22: Wayne Gabaylo, the spray-paint artist of Art In Motion | http://www.aimhawaii808.net/

23: view from top of Diamond Head

25: the Diamond Head hikers!

26: Hanauma Bay I got a nasty tan line from snorkeling too long, a number of bruises and scrapes on my legs, and a bunch of underwater pictures that didn't turn out well. But all in all, what an experience!

27: Aww, our last night in Hawaii...so we drank a whole lotta pitchers of beer. My rosy complexion is a combination of sun exposure from snorkeling and Asian glow (although, the latter is probably the major contributing factor).
