You didn't spend enough time on Kauai ;)

I spent New Years 2011/2012 on Kauai and it was freaking incredible. Rented a small house just 100 feet from the ocean. Got to watch the sun set every evening for a week.

The Napali coast is incredible. The one section of the island with no roads at all. Very rugged and hostile.

Surprised you didn't snap some photos of the chickens. I loved watching those guys. Strangely fascinating that chickens roam wild.

I was on the Cruise that does the loop around the islands so I was only there for a day and a half - but as you can see, I did get to see the top of Mt. Waialeale. :D

I did (I took a good 600+ pictures - fewer than the number I took in Alaska, but of a higher average quality), but I didn't think they warranted inclusion in the photoset.

All those photos of you in Hawaii and not one of them showing you in a swimsuit at the beach. For shame!

It was shrouded by clouds every day I was there. Which is pretty common since it gets anywhere from 400 to 600 inches of rain per year.

Glad you got to visit Waimea canyon. Its incredible to see what rainfall has done. That wasn't an upthrust like the Grand Canyon. Just pure rainfall erosion. And I am jealous you got to go around the Napali coast. I didn't take any boats, so I only saw the edge of the coast from one of the mountain tops.

My stay was restricted to Kauai. You got to visit Pearl and Kilauea. Lucky dog.

Awesome photos man. Thanks for sharing with us. Loved the sunrise set.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

Interesting info on a little known island of Hawaii. The island of Niihau and the Niihau Incident.

The island of Niihau is privately owned by the Robinson family and is maintained for the traditional Hawaiian way of life. Non Hawaiians may not live on the island and rarely get to visit.

The Niihau incident happened immediately after Pearl Harbor. A Japanese airplane that participated on the attack on Pearl crashed on Niihau. Several of the Issei living on the island actively aided the pilot and the Niihau incident was almost certainly a significant factor in the Internment of Japanese.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niihau_Incident

Niihau is visible from Kauai. I got to watch the sun set very near the island every night.
