Diamond Head Crater
As seen from Waikiki. I hiked to the highest point (not very high).

Kualoa Beach
Chinaman's Hat
Weird birds that look like they have cardinal heads grafted to their necks.
White birds that look a little washed out in the photo, they are so white.
White birds fighting, but gracefully.
Kualoa Ranch
I went horseback riding at the ranch where they filmed Jurassic Park. Unfortunately, it is rather hard to take pictures while riding a horse, so I have these from after I had dismounted:

Grave of King Kamehameha
Hanauma Bay
We went snorkeling here. There are no pictures of the best part of this experience, since my camera is not waterproof. You can see the reef in the photo--it's the dark area in the water. I hate swimming, but I loved this!
