JDNumbahz and LW's trip to Hawaii

[JD10367]

As usual, I'll put the pics here in the Classics forum, not because they're Classics but just to keep the clutter off the main board.

I've "narrowed" it down to around 270 pictures. Needless to say, they all won't be coming today.

First up: San Francisco as seen from the plane. Up at the top you can just make out the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. This is because the stupid photographer was looking at the wrong bridge. LW needs to be more specific about that sort of thing; she should know better.

Visiting the Honolulu Zoo... nothing says "Hawai'i" like a poopin' hippo, eh? Just think, this is what makes tilapia such a tasty fish!

Waikiki Beach as seen from our "ocean view" hotel patio. (We originally had a "partial ocean view" but they upgraded us; I guess that must've meant, "If you go to one specific window you can see some blue water out of one corner," LOL. No big deal though, since we *were* right on the beach and could just walk over.)

Down on the beach, looking east towards Diamond Head. (Which I was depressed to find out is simply an old volcano, as you can find neither diamonds nor head there...)

Looking west, same spot.

Let me take this opportunity to mention that, yes indeedy, there were quite a lot of bikinis, and quite a lot of those belonged to Japanese girls. The nationality of the islands is a mix of Hawaiian, American, and Asian; in addition to that, they get a ton of Japanese tourists. So everywhere you looked there were hot little Japanese girls in skimpy bikinis. For those of you with a Japanese Girl Fetish, Hawai'i is the place for you, my friend! (And, no, I don't have any pictures of them... but they're all burned into my brain.)

Swimmers and surfers. The surfing action is usually better on the North Shore, but the winds were making the surf on Waikiki (South Shore) pretty good all week. And the water was vicious! You'd walk two feet out and it would drop off about a foot, and the undertow was nasty.

Good pics, Numbers.

OKay, when last we left, LW was humming the "Jaws" theme and feeling like Chief Brody... Here are a bunch o' shark pics (the ones on the boat I took, the ones in the water she took).

Thanks for sharing.

How was the Pride of America?

Beautiful pictures. I'm a little unclear about the waterfall, which show was that used in again?
