Hawaii #2

After the Big Island, we headed back to Oahu with my folks. From there Scott and Andrew went to Kauai. Scott's folks took a couple extra days in Kona before meeting us in Oahu.

In Kauai, the guys set out on the Na Pali coast trail and did a tremendous 23 miles in a day!

Meanwhile...back in Oahu, we did our own big hike up Diamond Head :)



Here's our own wildlife viewing, a beautiful turtle that was napping in the warm sand along the North Coast.


Our party rejoined and spent the week in Oahu - the dental folk attended the ADA meeting...
We went to the opening ceremony, listened to some amazing ukulele!


and really appreciated a talk by Sidney Poitier -

We all had enjoyed visiting the Polynesian Culture Center:
Our last dinner in Oahu - some delicious Italian food....my Mom, que bella! :)
peek a boo!
and did Diamond Head (#2) in an early morning hike:

Great pics. I love the dolphins and especially that seal shot with waves breaking in the background. Looks like you had a great time.
