HAWAII
My favorite place in all the world.  During my time there, I quickly came to learn that the islands are truly nature's playground. 
Learn how to speak some Hawaiian:

ALOHA [ah loh hah] - Hello
MAHALO [ mah ha loh] - Thank You
KAMIPULU [kah' mee poo' loo] -
Damn Fool!
KOPE [koh peh'] -
Coffee
MELE KALIKIMAKA [meh' leh kah' lee kee mah' kah] -
Merry Christmas
OHANA [oh hah' nah] -
Family
PIA [pee' yah] -
Beer
HOA [hoh' wah] - Friend
NANI [nah' nee] - Beautiful
ALOHA AU I HAWAI'I [Ah loh' hah wau' ee hah wai' ee] - I love Hawaii!
SCROLL DOWN  FOR PHOTOS!!!
Near the blowhole, on the Southeast side of Oahu.  It's beautiful to watch, and one of my favorite memories of Hawaii is sitting on a rock above the crashing waves eating breakfast to the rising sun.
Waikiki Beach.  I love this city...the bars are open until 4 am, trolleys ring their bells down the street, music and entertainers line the sidewalks, and the weather is always perfect. 
Waimea Falls.  I've swam in this waterfall.  Well, it was more like getting pounded by powerful crashing water, but still great fun!
Aloha Tower Marketplace.  A fun place to shop and go out to eat and drink, and I spent my New Year's 2001 here. 
Just one of the beautiful sunsets in Hawaii.  Breathtaking!!
An active volcano.  Quite a site to see in person!
