Hawaii Pics

As most of my avid readers know I met my mom "half-way" for a vacation in Hawaii for a couple of weeks. From BNE to SYD to HNO to KNA, Kona, where we stayed with my Aunt & Uncle in a condo they rented for their 5 week stay. Here's the view from the patio.

Hi-def map of Kona, we stayed right there, drove up there, and saw volancoes over there.

My field of vision for most of the trip:

Pot-o-shrimp from Bubba Gump's... they had grilled shrimp, garlic shrimp, fried shrimp, popcorn shrimp, jumbo shrimp, shrimp pizza, shrimp gumbo, shrimp on a stick... you get the point:

Sunset from Kailoa:

Everyone else went back to Canada on a Thursday, and I flew to Honolulu for 2 nights. Here's Waikiki at night when I arrived... I stayed on the 33rd floor of the Hyatt right on Waikiki beach:

During the day, Diamond Head in the background:

Surfer's on the long, slow, and steady Waikiki surf:

I have more pics on my camera (these are iPhone) so I'll hopefully get some more up in the next couple of...
