Aloha … A familiar phrase for anyone visiting the islands of Hawaii.

      When our daughter, Kelley, moved to Hawaii after graduation from college, I wondered when we might make the journey to visit her.  The year 2001 came and went, without planning the trip.  I was determined to visit her, during the winter months, so that I might catch a glimpse of   humpback whales that frequent the Pacific Waters during this time of year. 

      In March 2002, William and I made the long flight (15 hours) to Hawaii.  Other than viewing the airplane wing during most of the flight, it was pretty uneventful.

      Kelley met William and I at the airport with beautiful, aromatic leis.  The scent will be a fond and pleasant memory for the remainder of my life.

      To say the least, Hawaii is more than I had ever imagined.  The gentle breezes soothing, the aqua-turquoise waters serene, and the sunsets spectacular … to say the least.  The pictures that follow cannot begin to show the beauty that is waiting for those that have the opportunity to visit.

       I hope you enjoy …
