I finally got a chance to look at these pictures. The colors are absolutely beautiful. I'm sure it will be a vacation to remember. You saw so many beautiful places. I especially love the sunrise where you were freezing. That was awesome. The pictures of the sunsets were gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

It's me again!
I went through your pictures again (by myself, undisturbed with kids :) I love your composition in the "A ship in Pearl Harbor". I thought your colors came out great in Diamond Head Lighthouse and Waikiki Beach. There was another on on the USS Arizona in the waiting area that had great blues I thought. The view of Waikiki was breathtaking. I didn't realize how large it was! I loved your 'borrowed' idea with the leis, I wish I had thought of that!

I love your pictures! I felt like I was there. It looks like you were able to catch the color of the ocean...that is so hard to do. (for me anyways!) It makes me want to go back... :)
