Aligator clouds over Lanai

The rings have an affinity for the sand, for some strange reason.

Last rainbow on the way out

And a sunset at the Honolulu airport.

Moon over the clouds

Didn't quite make to the top of Haleakala for sunrise, but it's still pretty cool. No more Christmases on top of volcanoes for us.

Very un-Hawaiian weather up there--40F and windy.

Last night on the beach, and the whales came to say good bye.

We may have also crashed the Weinstein family vacation.

Rainbow over Maui

There's a rainbow in those them there hills.

A local greets us

All rainbows, all the time.

Welcome to Maui!

Hey, look who I found!

The USS Arizona memorial. On the steps are the names of those who survived the Japanese attack, and later chose to be interred with their shipmates.

Bullet holes from the Japanese attack in a hangar on Ford Island that now houses the Pacific Aviation Museum.

On the deck of the USS Bowfin, the "Pearl Harbor Avenger".

First time in a lap pool in at least two years. If I must.

Sunrise on the slopes of Mauna Kea

That's a pretty big waterfall.

Crazy light in the Waipoa Valley

Lava.

First married-life workout on the Big Island

Look what we found in paradise.

Like I said, paradise.

Ok, that's all from Mexico. We are outta here.

Pelican wanted a closer look at the sunrise, too.
