Hawaii

We traveled to Hawaii on a bit of a whim in Spring of 2013. Our goals were simple: relax, have fun, and see as much of Maui as possible in three days. We ended up driving far more than I ever imagined that we would. Many of the roads around the island's perimeter are winding, treacherous, and a whole lot of fun to drive. A substantial number of the pictures on this page were taken as we drove up to Haleakala National Park or to the remote town of Hana.

Near the end of our trip, we decided that air travel might be a more interesting way to see some of the locations we had missed.  We hopped on a helicopter tour around the island, and then headed over to Molokai to grab some shots of the island's towering waterfalls and imposing cliffs.
