| Hawaii August
2-9 2014 |
| I had been in the Honolulu airport five times
and had never gotten out of it to see Hawaii. (Twice involving Guam and
three times involving Japan) Over 40 years after my first time through
Hawaii I finally got back to see some sights. (Only took me 17 years to
get back to see Alaska) Added another tropical island to my list
including the Philippians, Maldives, Guam & Aruba. |
| Waikiki |

| Waimea Valley |

A swimming hole at the base of Waimea Falls (fairly
crowded and you have to wear a life jacket) |
 |
 |
| A huge sampling of tropical plants from around the world |
| Honolulu Zoo |
 |
 |
| Black & tan Zebra (I'm used to black & white) |
|
| Added Honolulu Zoo to zoos I've visited.
Others include Bronx (NYC), Tokyo (Ueno), San Francisco, San Diego &
Los Angeles. I've camped outside the Munich Zoo twice but never went in.
The Ueno Zoo had pampered Panda Bears and I remember the Koalas at the
an Diego Zoo. (Koalas became my favorite animal when I was told the eucalyptus
they eat ferments in their stomach and the get drunk. The number one
cause of death of Koalas is getting drunk and falling out of trees
Turns out to be false, they just have a very slow metabolism but they
are still cute.) |

| The beach at Bellows Air Force Station is much less
crowded than Waikiki (imagine that) |
