Some people come to Hawaii to lie on the beach the whole time. Lori is not one of those people. This is a photo from our hike to Manoa Falls through a bamboo forest.
The aforementioned bamboo forest.
The Hilton Hawaiian Village could be called a hotel in Waikiki but is more like a cruise ship in its wretched excess. There are fountains, exotic birds (including
penguins), pools, restaurants, an entire shopping mall and a great beach. The Hilton Hawaiian Village is why the terrorists hate us.
Lori on Waikiki beach with Diamond Head in the background. Lori wanted to climb Diamond Head because the guide book said everyone should do it. Unfortunately I had
already done it and it was kind of strenuous. I talked her out of it by convincing her that the views of the city and coast were just as good from the other volcano in Honolulu and you can drive to the top of Punchbowl. However, we never got around to it. Sorry Lori.
Fun with rambutan at Chinatown. You actually eat the eyeball part at the center of this exotic fruit. Even better were the longan which are sweeter and more eyeball-like.

Oh man. I wish I could've done the waterfall/rain forest thing. One of the problems of having the kids along with us - and coordinating so many schedules simultaneously...
