More of the North Shore (09/26/09) : Aloha, David was playing around with his camera and caught a few shots of some waves at Three Tables. David was also able to catch some amazing shots of a Cardinal munching on an apple. As we walked down the bike path along the North Shore we found some beautiful shots of some flowers. We came across an old Jameson's Restaurants & Shops truck along with a tower of some sort in the distance. David took the opportunity to do some beautiful shots of the moon. Enjoy! DaBoyZ

Lava Viewing (09/05/09) : Aloha, Last time we came to the Big Island (2006) we had the opportunity to see the lava spewing into the ocean, but we had to walk from within the park for about 3.5 miles (7 miles roundtrip). This time we entered from near Kalapana and only had to walk 3/4 mile. The viewing point was farther away from the trails end but the show was so much bigger this time!!! We were one of the first people there by after 3 1/2 hours it started to get really crowded by obnoxious and rude people, so we headed back to the car and drove into Pahoa for dinner at Ning's Thai Cuisine.

Ha'iku Gardens (03/15/09) : Aloha, After the botanical garden we drove up Ha'iku to Ha'iku Gardens near the base of the Ko'olau Mountains. They have a beautiful lake with lots of koi and cool plant life. When we finished up David was able to get some shots of a really cool but very scary trail that we really want to do some day. Stairway to Heaven is almost straight up and stairs almost the whole way. Should be exciting. DaBoyZ

'Iao Valley & the Garden of Eden (09/20/08) : Aloha, After Bailey House we drove back up into 'Iao Valley. Roger & Joanna had never been to 'Iao Valley so we were really excited to show them the pristine beauty of the valley. We walked up to the lookout and then took a offshoot trail about 1 1/2 hours back into the valley. We came upon this clearing that we dubbed "The Garden of Eden". It was chock full of bananas, Lilikoi, Strawberry Guava, & Thimbleberry's. We feasted on several of the yummy fruits before turning around and coming back. Along the way we ran across some local hippies rolling a joint and we found out that they were trying to hike to Lahaina. Once back to the main trail we stopped and waded into the stream to cool our hot tired feet. What a beautiful hike. DaBoyZ

Hoping to explore more in the future. DaBoyZ

Sunbathing & Sunset (08/31/08) : Aloha, We woke up and met up with Deb & Liz and went snorkeling at Ahihi-Kinau. What a great place to snorkel but we all got upset due to some of the tourists standing all over the coral (they thought it was rocks). We then went to Kihei Cafe for a great breakfast. Afterwards we all parted ways and David & I went off to the nude beach, Little Beach, for some fun in the sun (no pictures so no worry)!! When we were pau we took a drive to Upcountry and got some shots of an amazing sunset! DaBoyZ

Haleakala Sunrise (08/29/08) : Aloha, We woke up at 3AM and drove for about 1 1/2 hours to the summit of Haleakala. It was the most beautiful sunrise either of us had ever seen. We got there when it was still black out and you could see all the stars in the milkway. As the sun slowly started to come up we could see these bands of light that would slowly change color. Very beautiful!! DaBoyZ
