The Royal Hawaiian (nicknamed Pink Palace by locals). Truly one of the nicest resorts we've ever stayed at.
The resort grounds.
View from our room.
An early morning walk on the beach with Diamond Head in the background. Yet not that early since we awoke most days at 4am.
Nick's skydiving adventure.
His training lasted about 3 minutes. I would have backed out right there!
Phew...he's alive!
Our helicopter ride.
Diamond Head.
Not long after this view, I started to feel a little queasy. So, Nick took over the camera!
The Dole pineapple fields.
USS Arizona memorial. You can sort of the see the outline of the ship underwater.
Our final night in Oahu. A surprise dinner aboard the USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor.
The spot on the Missouri where the Japanese signed the truce to end World World II.
Nick receiving his official Circle of Excellence coin from the CEO and Executive Team at Waste Management. A very proud moment (dare I admit some tears from his pregnant wife)!
Before heading into the tent for dinner, we enjoyed a sunset view from the ship.
Kauai trip. The view from our room.
We hopped the railing to get to this tiny waterfall we spotted on our way up the mountain.
Waimea Canyon. We were told you rarely see the canyon this green or the river running through it. But because of the rain they had the week before we arrived, this was our unusual view.
A short hike to see other views of the canyon.
Lunch stop in Poipu on our way back from the canyon.
Opaekaa Falls
Roosters and chickens everywhere you went. Because of the hurricanes they've had over the years, the chickens were spread all over the island.
Construction workers chopping off coconuts from the palm trees. We even snagged one for the trip home.
Another Mile Marker 0. Only other one we've seen is in Key West.
Kilauea Lighthouse
Wet cave along the drive to the end of the road in Kauai.
Dry cave.
A couple gifts for the kids back home.
We shipped pineapples back home to Max.
