"two roads on The Big Island, and you messed up both of them?!"

black sand beach - the volcanic fallout on this particular beach.

akaka falls

scenic lookout with a very hawaiian name. impossible to say and more impossible to type. sacred valley according to local legends - visitors told to be quiet and respectful. too pretty, too perfect. still not convinced it wasnt a backdrop...

kitty cabana

my furry friend, one of many. the big island has a feral feline infestation. i tried a few times to pet some of them, and after a while they would let me get kinda close. its funny how they would just plop on the lava rocks like it was something comfortable. and those rocks get really hot too. silly kitties.

hawaiian sunset.

temple at laie.

pearl harbor.

submarine tour. not for the claustrophobic. doors and other passage ways are only three feet. mike kept laughing at the tiny asian woman directing tourists from the restricted area who also appeared to be narcoleptic...

colby's uke. guess what i brought back from vacay? a freaking tee shirt.
