Today Show at the Vatican
I was excited to see the Today Show dedicated significant time this week to a visit to Rome and an audience with the Pope! Included are several spots with Archbishop Dolan (Pres. of USCCB). What wonderful publicity. Take a few moments to check out these videos.

Hanauma Bay
Dole Plantation
Dole Plantation -- total tourist trap, but good for an hour or two of diversions. They claim to have the largest maze -- a creation of hedgerows of hibiscus. Explored the gardens behind with oodles of varieties of pineapples. Topped off the visit with Pineapple Ice Cream -- mmmm :-)
Tripler Ridge to Stairway to Heaven
The view of Honolulu (left) and Airport on the right.
Flowers from the middle of the rainforest on the way up.
Trail followed the ridge -- which only got narrower as we climbed. Steep walls falling to the left and to the right meant tremendous visibility in all directions.
View from the top!
Ridgeline crossing to the Stairway to Heaven -- strong winds were rising from the windward side over the Pali of the Koo'lau range.
Stairway to Heaven (on the way down)

Canoes Break
This is where I finally learned to surf. Long, slow breaking rollers were way easier to learn on than the rolling waves in Puerto Rico.
