Oahu & Hawaii Island

I consider myself very lucky to know special people in Honolulu whom I can visit and ring in the new year with (for the second year in a row!). This time I had a week on Oahu and then made my way over to the Big Island for a few days. The time was spent kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, hiking across craters and lava flows, exploring black and white sand beaches, watching numerous sunsets (including one ABOVE the clouds!), stargazing, and taking in the sunshine and oh-so-many incredible views. Such an amazing way to welcome 2012!

jeningphoto - Thanks! I love that surfer picture too. He spent a couple of minutes in that exact position..I believe he was praying to the ocean gods for a safe ride. Pretty cool to watch. :)
