Days 1 and 2:\u00a0 Honolulu and near areas<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hanauma Bay and a drive up the east side.\u00a0 Hanauma Bay is a great beach.\u00a0 Very protected, totally scenic, good for light snorkeling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Third day, we borrowed D’s car and drove to the North Shore on H2 and Kamehameha Hwy, up to approx Waimeha Bay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next we flew over to Kauai.\u00a0 First photos show the bay where cruise ships come in, near the airport.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The following day, between various beach sessions, we squeezed in a drive to an overlook at Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon” of Hawaii.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then followed the “day of the helicopter”.\u00a0 These things are evil\u00a0 but Eileen is just relentless about the touristy thing.\u00a0 So there we were.\u00a0\u00a0 The ride and the views were admittedly totally amazing.\u00a0 Our copter was old, it had an open window in the back seat.\u00a0 I had the biggest camera, so I claimed it.\u00a0 The total lack of glass allowed me to lean out, and often shoot straight down. Highlights: sharing airspace in a box canyon billed as “the wettest place on earth”, almost always socked in, rarely flyable.\u00a0 And the scene up and down the Na’Pali coastline.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Near the end, we hiked the Na’Pali coast to the first beach.\u00a0 The hike itself was wild.\u00a0 Wet, steep, slippery trail in dense jungle.\u00a0 Terrific views. A local surfer blew by us on the trail, surf board under his arm, wearing flip flops.\u00a0 We were humbled.\u00a0\u00a0 (A helicopter flew by us at eye level every 10 minutes or so.\u00a0 I quickly came to see how the locals could just hate these things.\u00a0 It wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve been banned since.)<\/p>\n
