A few Hawaii pics...

Steve at this cute little shopping place in Honolulu.
Palm trees. I really loved the trees in Hawaii. Very green and very thick!
These trees were so cool. A local told me they are called iron wood trees and were actually introduced to Hawaii in the 1800s by the Missionaries to get the Natives to be civilized and wear shoes. The seed-like things that fall off them are very sharp and really hurt if you step on them.
This is the beach across the street from our hotel. I liked this a lot about Wakiki beach, where we stayed. There were hotels, shops and restaurants along one side of the street and nothing but beach on the other!
Holy birds! As much as I don't really like birds too much, it did add character the way the birds were always around, just hanging out in restaurants. This little guy decided to enjoy the lady's bread, sitting next to us, while she went up to the breakfast buffet. Surprisingly, there was not bird poop anywhere. The part of the city where we stayed was very clean and well maintained.

This was our hotel, as seen from the beach.
