Under the Hawaiian sun


Take the day off! That's just what we did as we chased the sun in Hawaii. I loved waking up to the rain hitting the tin roof of our cabin. We kayaked and spent our first day in the emergency room because Jackie stepped on a sea urchin! That did not stop May, Jackie, Carli and I from hiking in Pololu, Waipio or Mauna Kea. One minute we're playing in snow on Mauna Kea (white mountain). The next minute we're exploring old lava flows, such as the Holei Arch, along the coast. I got camera happy after spotting honu basking on the beach. Out of 20 pictures, only one clearly shows the honu swimming (see below). I enjoyed every minute in Hawaii nei. A hui hou (until we meet again). It is now time to adjust my watch to the REAL WORLD.


I spent the last few days in Oahu relaxing from my Big Island expedition. On Saturday Waimea beach was closed due to the dangerous 30-feet waves. All photos below are taken on the North Shore. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see all my friends and didn't feel I had enough time with those I did see.

Happy new year!

Gone fishing...in Hawaii. For the new year, my friends and I plan to chase the sun on the Big Island. If I don't come back, don't look for me.
