impur Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 My vacation came and went. It was much needed and we had a blast!!! And as usual i took lots and lots of pics. I will post the best here. This is the sunset from my backyard the night before we left. Pretty amazing colors The view from our condo That night we headed into Lahaina for dinner, one of our favorite places to eat is Pacific O's. Really great food, great service and a tremendous view.

impur Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Next we gathered up our snorkeling gear and my camera with the dicapac to test it out. We strolled down the boardwalk at Kaanapali to the end called black rock for the best snorkeling. Right off the bat these guys came out of nowhere!!

impur Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thanks everyone, we certainly had a blast!! Here are more pics!! A day or 2 later we headed down to big beach. Its a very nice beach, large waves good for boogey boarding. We hung out and had a couple beers, just enjoyed the scenery We drove down a couple miles to another snorkeling spot that was supposed to be good. It was pretty murkey so i snapped a few pics and we got out to go on a hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 We hiked over a lavarock field and rested here That night we went to Mama's fish house. Wow great food, very very spendy. We split a bottle of wine, 1 appetizer, 1 salad, and 1 entree. We split it! Total came to $180 with tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 This parrot fish was about 3-4 feet long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 These frogs are everywhere. After it rains, they make noise all night. They have no predators in Hawaii and are not native. I hate them, they kept me awake for 4 nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Next we hit up the Maui Ocean Center. Now this was cool, not as cool as snorkeling, but still really great tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
