Bud - I'll post a couple of more but it is hard if you know me. I am both a big shutterbug and into doing major hikes / running. Every other corner is majestic and the whole island is basically volcanic rock. Goes from tropical jungle to the north to urban sprawl around Honolulu / Pearl Harbor / Waikiki to the rock / cactus (no joke...look below) to the south.

I'll take a look and put up a few more ASAP, Bud.

I could see that it was the JP cross, just not which one it was. Knowing that you were not sure which one to take with you, I wondered which one you picked. So you brought both? Did it double your pleasure and double your luck???

No active volcanoes on O'ahu but one of the coolest things I did was hike Diamond Head Crater. Google it to see the aerial view. It is impressive. One shot below is looking down onto Waikiki and the other was over a "do NOT jump the rail" sign looking back into the crater. HA! Putting a sign up like that with one of those cool WWII "pillbox" bunkers within sight on the nearby ridge? That was just calling my name! Funny as I had just watched two other foreigners jump it and decided to follow their route along the ridge. No sooner had I jumped over than a guard came out of nowhere and started calling then whistling as I just played "deaf hiker" walking carefully but quickly, jumped on the "pillbox" for that photo and we all made haste to get back across the ridge and over the guardrail. As some were saying "I don't read English" with heavy German and Dutch accents, I chimed in with a "¡No hablo inglés!"
We all scattered like cucarachas in the light once we got back in the crowd safely behind the rail.

I was in awe of the guitars. Talk about a kid in a candy store. They had a ukulele and banjo up on the sea that started on the ceiling and flowed down the wall of the stairs. Almost fell over trying to find them.
No active volcanoes on O'ahu but one of the coolest things I did was hike Diamond Head Crater. Google it to see the aerial view. It is impressive. One shot below is looking down onto Waikiki and the other was over a "do NOT jump the rail" sign looking back into the crater. HA! Putting a sign up like that with one of those cool WWII "pillbox" bunkers within sight on the nearby ridge? That was just calling my name! Funny as I had just watched two other foreigners jump it and decided to follow their route along the ridge. No sooner had I jumped over than a guard came out of nowhere and started calling then whistling as I just played "deaf hiker" walking carefully but quickly, jumped on the "pillbox" for that photo and we all made haste to get back across the ridge and over the guardrail. As some were saying "I don't read English" with heavy German and Dutch accents, I chimed in with a "¡No hablo inglés!"
We all scattered like cucarachas in the light once we got back in the crowd safely behind the rail.

Speaking of island chain, did you get to see any of the volcanoes there?

Speaking of which, I got tired of hula music very quickly and decided to make requests. I tells ya, I'll die "Defending."

Didn't get that specific, but if you go by means of access Hawaii is really not that cut off from the world. That's why there's tons of people queing up to go there each year. lol

"Had" fun is better said. Got back after one huge day of travel. Particular phrasing of the most isolated island chain. Most (like Wiki) refer to it as "distance from a continent" and it seems to be a pretty unanimous winner. Didn't know it but it was plastered all over O'ahu.
