Hawaii Part Two

Moray eel swimming by me. :) They open their mouths and look like they are hissing at you under water.



The raft we went on around Lanai island - we went in the sea caves and explored the sea cliffs. Really fun.





Look at all the different kind of fish. I especially like the Moorish idol. the yellow and black with long fin on top.






Dolphins we saw on the way to Lanai. THe were so fast! There was a baby too and it was so cute!




















Jared swimming with turtle.












Me snorkeling. I love the ocean.


















Honu.



































Eel hissing at me in the water - this one scared me some because the water was so murky right there I didn't see him until I was almost touching him.































Puffer fish. I like puffer fish - they look like little boxes floating around.














Trumpet fish.





















Jared on the sailboat on the way back from Lanai.


















REsort on Lanai.












On the boat to Lania




















Jared dancing on dinner cruise - the cruise had an open bar - and we were probably the only sober people there - but we were the ones dancing and goofing around having a blast.














Dinner Cruise




















My dinner on the dinner cruise - it was soooo good!!


















Banyan Tree - they are soo cool.



















Sugar cane fields.
Someone told us - Sugar cane was king and pineapple queen but now they are both made and produced cheaper elsewhere and not making a profit in Hawaii anymore.










Pineapple fields.





























Bird of paradise flower. I think they are cool looking.



The area we rode our bikes down is farming/ranching fun to see all the cowboy stuff.
































Getting ready to bike down the mountain - it was cold and rainy hence the nice attire. We had a blast and it warmed up and quit raining right away so it was really nice.














We were above the clouds.



















I seriously think it looks like you are on a different planet.
































At Haleakala Crater.













Top of Haleakala looking in the crater. It looks like Mars.

















Hawaiian Dancer.


















Bryan, Amber, Jared and I before the show started.












Jared and I at the Luau.















Lava rock fields - looking up to the top of the moutain.

















Trying to pass someone was very scary!!!!
















The west maui drive - it's like a half a lane road - not even a single lane road - and most of it had steep sea cliff drop offs on one side and the mountain on the other.









Jared so handsome!


















Beautiful views on West Maui drive.















One of the great snorkel spots on Maui.















More of the jungle.













Hiking through jungle to get to a great snorkel spot.















Jared and I on the beach at sunset.



















More sunset.















Sunset - so beautiful and tranquil.
















Jared and Byran golfing at Dunes Golf Course.













Jared - nice swing.

We stopped at every fresh fruit stand and ate pineapple, lillikoi (Chad and Cindy got us started on that - it is passionfruit), mangoes, and banana bread, and mango bread.
