Oh, awesome pics, Andi! I'm envious! Some day... While on the topic, do you need passports to travel to Hawaii? I would assume not, since it's a US state, but they have been getting stricter with travel requirements lately.

It looks like a great trip Andi. Your pictures are fantastic.

How breathtaking !!!Many years ago, when my X and I were married and living in Michigan, he had a 5 week vacation coming up.We talked very seriously about cancelling 3 weeks of it (which meant he would still work ,but would still get his vacation pay,too, along with his regular paycheck )and get his mom to watch our little one, and take a trip to Hawaii. For us way back then,that was something we had only dreamed about, never really thinking it would happen. Also, we were only 19 and 20, I think. So, we started getting excited about going...THEN WE SAW THE MOVIE JAWS !!!!!! And, I kid you not... we chickened out of going because we would be flying over the ocean !!!!! You don't know how MANY times I have regretted that decision !!!
