Aloha from Hawaii

Here's a few candids from our recent trip to Hawaii. They're in no specific order. Here we are receiving a fresh Lei greeting at the Honolulu Airport after a long flight and a 3-hour layover in L.A.
Five hours in the air from Cleveland to L.A., then another 5 hours from L.A. to Honolulu. Needless to say, we were T-I-R-E-D and looked like zombies after the whole day of flying!  
Getting ready for dinner on Waikiki Beach with Adam.

Greg and I just before our fabulous dinner on Waikiki. We stayed at the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Hotel, which was the same hotel Greg and I honeymooned at some 19-years ago.  It was just beautiful and wonderful to return to Waikiki with the kids!!!! We renewed our vows at the hotel and Adam and Alexis were our witnesses!
Alexis and me at dinner overlooking Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head at night.
Adam snapped this picture of Greg in front of the King Kamehameha statue during a circle-island tour they took. Alexis and I spent the day shopping at the International Marketplace.
Adam meets a real hero! Adam met a Pearl Harbor survivor during a visit to Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial. Adam purchased his book and this hero inscribed the book to Adam.
Outside our cottage in Maui. We stayed at the Royal Lahaina Resort.
Taking a shot with one of the funniest entertainers at the Polynesian Cultural Center. This was a wonderful place! We LOVED IT there! Greg really loved it there because this is where Elvis filmed Paradise Hawaiian Style, which is one of Greg's favorite Elvis movies.
A shot of Adam, Alexis and me boarding our flight to Maui from Honolulu.
The back of our cottage in Maui. We stayed 4-nights on Oahu and 6-nights on Maui. Our favorite island was definitely Maui!
A beautiful evening shot of a partial rainbow in west-Maui.

Us overlooking the beach at our resort in Kannapali. We all went swimming and snorkeling down below. In the distant background is Black-rock where Greg and the kids went snorkeling everyday. They even swam with a huge 200 pound sea turtle that swam up near Black-rock. It was AMAZING! The island you see behind me to the right is Lanai where we took a 1-day snorkeling trip.
Alexis and Greg played some games outside our pool.
A pretty shot, click on it to enlarge to see the coconuts growing on this palm tree.
The pool at our Maui resort as it was quite windy that day!
The pathway to our cottage.
Another view of our cottage. We had the ever present and beautiful fragrance of the Pulmaria flower.

If you click on this image you can see some dolphins swimming in the background.  This was on our snorkeling trip to the island of Lanai. We had the most wonderful 10-day trip to Hawaii. We will always remember how beautiful it was! ALOHA EVERYONE!!!!!!!
