Mr. Pickles Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Hey all, just got back from a killer vacation to Oahu and Maui in Hawaii. We had a blast for a couple weeks, and saw a fair amount of the cool stuff on both islands. I've always wanted to go to Peal Harbor, and being that my b-day (Dec. 7th) is also Pearl Harbor day, my loving wife hooked it up for my 30th bday. Following are some pic's of the action.

Mr. Pickles Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Wifey on the unusally high sand of Waikiki caused by the storms Honolulu from the top of Diamond Head. That's a lil' bit of a vertical hike... Oahu's North Shore- where the surfers hang Now on to Maui. Here's one of many, many awesome sunsets we saw. There are some nice waterfalls and great sights on the Road to Hana. That's seriously the most twisty road I've ever seen, with like 35 miles of switchbacks and 1-lane bridges, etc. A bit over 50 miles each way, and it took us literally a whole day round trip with speeds rarely exceeding 25mph and mostly much lower. Its very much worth it though, I highly recommend the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dank Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey nice to see the pics of the island! I was living in Haiku when I was out there and I drove to Hana every weekend. The first time you drive on those road, its like WHOA! I'm glad someone here got to experience that. I always drove all the way around instead of driving back on the outside lane. They are having some really bad rains over there right now. The worst in like 30 years is what some of my family is telling me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there were some nasty storms, but they let up over a week ago or so and it was nice on Maui for the week. Our entire time on Maui was awesome and dry on the leeward side, although there were some occassional very light showers on the windward side the couple times when we went over there. We were going to drive all the way around, but there were signs heading out of Hana on the far side saying the road was closed, so we went back. The wife was not amused to be on the outside cliff side of the road all the way back. Of course, we had a Malibu *lol* LTZ rental car with the sporty suspension/18" wheels and engine/tranny, so I wound it out a bit around some of the corners. Yes, we're still together... and alive.

We probably saw your ship on either or both islands (kinda hard to miss those big things!). Hope things are going good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
