Hawaii was lovely. Between spending time at the beach and the Hawaiian Chocolate Company that was in the lobby of the hotel, I saw tanned surfers and tourists with interestingly patterned sunburns, more shops than a fanatic could enter, the view from Diamond Head crater, lighthouses, waves, mountains, pineapples, Pearl Harbor and Punchbowl cemetery, and no fewer than seven Japanese brides and grooms in the hotel. I ate too much, of course, but managed to avoid the worst of a sunburn, and sat for many hours on the lanai (patio) of our top floor room overlooking the rolling sapphire waves.
Here’s the only picture I took in Hawaii, standing on the lanai, looking down at a rainbow that seemed to end right at my feet. In person, you were able to see three enormous sea turtles through the clear water. As I say: lovely.
