First Full Day in Ka’anapali

Just enjoying the view from our condo at Mahana at Ka’anapali.

Time to Leave the Big Island and Head to Maui

Aloha, Big Island! We had a great time at Kona By The Sea, and had two great dives. Once we got to Maui we were greeted by a rainbow. I’ll take it as a good sign. Slideshow Builder by VisualSlideshow.com v1.7

Garden Eel and Manta Ray Dives

One Day, Two Dives! We went with Jack’s Diving Locker to Garden Eel Cove off the coast of Kona to explore the reef in the afternoon, followed by a night dive to see some Mantas.

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

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. The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 was built in the 1930’s and 1940’s as a military trainer. It has excellent flight characteristics […]
