Hanging out at Kona by the Sea

Just another day in Paradise as I try out our new camera.

It’s finally here… the day I get to touch the sky in an open cockpit bi-plane (a restored WWII era Stearman) and the icing on this cake was the scenery I got to view during my trip was in Oahu! Eric and I flew with Bruce Clements of Stearman Bi-Plane Rides out of Dillingham […]

Aerobatics in a Stearman

I got a chance to fly with Stearman Bi-Plane Rides out of Dillingham Airfield on Oahu. The Pilot/Owner, Bruce Clements, has over 20 years flying experience and the Stearman N2S was in immaculate condition.

Travel to Oahu from Maui

Time to leave Maui and check in to Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu.

Visit to Hale’iwa

Lazy Day at Turtle Bay

We hung out at Turtle Bay Resort all day. First watching the Steeler’s play the Baltimore Raven’s in the playoffs, then off to do some snorkeling.

Breaching Whales in off the Ka’anapali Coast.

It was a very rough sea day with lots of mist. Simone and I watched several whales while on our lanai. Here is a video of the whales. Breaching Whales Aloha!

Maui Ocean Center

A beautiful day in Maui with no dive planned. We were concerned about incoming swells for a shore dive, so we decided to spend the day enjoying the ocean scene from the Maui Ocean Center. I way behind on posting so here are some pictures, I (or Simone) will write about them later. Enjoy! […]
