Aloha!
We had a fantastic time in Hawaii! We stayed in Waikiki beach in Honolulu. A very touristy area. The people were VERY friendly, the service everywhere was VERY good and of course it was nice to be in the sun again (although on our second day, we did get a few showers, but it wasn't too bad). Our first day there, we just spent the day being beach bums and walking around, checking out the neighborhoods and shops. On our second day there, we splurged and took a 7 hour boat cruise, where we saw dolphins, whales and went snorkling. It was very cool! We saw fish that they sell in the petstores at home for oodles of money and the best thing...we saw a huge sea turtle while snorkling! The view from the boat was awesome...definitely worth the money! Steve and I would both like to go back to Hawaii again someday, to see the things we didn't get to see on this trip. 
The dolphins. We have a fantasic video of this but internet in Australia is really weird. It works out to be only 4 gigs a month for $60, which sucks and since we're using Vic's internet at the moment, we'll wait to post our videos when we get our own place and internet. I got my cell phone (mobile, as they call it here) yesterday and for $49 a month, you get only 6 hours of talk time (a month!) and Australians find that to be more than enough!!! As the woman at the store said, "That's heaps!". Not "heaps" if you're coming from Canada! One good thing though, you don't use up your minutes if someone calls you.
The boat that we went on in Hawaii. Really nice boat!
The food in Hawaii was really good. Everything came served with a slice of pinappple and a decorative umbrella. This is purple bread that we had with dinner and banana butter! It was very yummy!
One of my favorite things about Waikiki beach was the way they lit torches everywhere once the sun went down. All of the restaurants had lots of these and they were all along the sidewalks too.
