My trip to HAWAII in `01 |
|
|
|
OAHU |
|
|
|

Goat Island, above and below, is just off the northeast tip of Oahu. The center of the island is off limits because it's a bird sanctuary. The west side of the island is the beautiful beach you see above, the east side is what you see below. (Chris, Jake and Me) |

Looking down on Waimea Bay |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Jumpimg off the Waimea rock like the locals. The girl in the pink jumping is my little cousin Mady, I believe she was 5 at the time. |

This is at the Polynesian Culture Center. Some dude climbing a palm tree... that's how you impress the local chicks. |
|
|
|
 |
|

I didn't see any chicks with monkey dude,
but I got a "So-Cal" girls phone number and
four soccer chicks to go to Goat Island with
me cause of this Sharpie Tatoo.
Half way through the day I itched it and one
of the girls said, "hey, your tatoo's rubbin` off."
DOH! oh well, that girl actually went on a
date with me the next day. Sweet! |

Stairway To Heaven
The coolest hike I've ever been on! |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Here is approximately the route you take to get to the top. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
"The Stairway" is an old military route to Anti-Aircraft Gun locations up on top of the hills.
Locals go all the time and the "No Trespassing" thing isn't really enforced... I guess. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This is from about half way up. Sweet view, huh? |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Here is one of those AA gun shelters |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
This is the
USS Arizona Memorial.
This platform floats just above the sunken Arizona and you
can watch as gas still
leaks into the ocean.
(Josh, Me, Madi, Chris, Kyle.)
Josh, Madi, and Kyle are three of my five cousins who live on Oahu with my uncle Steve and aunt Pam. The other two cousins are Jake and Lauren.
Chris is my cousin from CA. |

WAIKIKI!!! Kyle, Me, Madi, and Lauren's cheesin` big time. |

|
|
This is the beach where I probably spent half my days in Hawaii. Beautiful! |
|

|
THE biggest burger i've ever seen. I can't remember the name of the restaurant anymore but it was sooooo good. |
|
|

|
|
Contrary to the Pearl Harbor movie, this Japanese building is actually located on Oahu in Valley of the Temples. |
