4/21/97 to 4/28/97.

We were in Waikiki, Oahu for 4 nights. We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a feast. We took a daylong circle island tour and took a ride on the overpriced Atlantis Submarine for an underwater experience. We of course also went to see Pearl Harbor.

We were then in Kauai for 3 nights. We saw Waimea Canyon, Fern Grotto, Spouting horn, Dry Cave, Wet Cave.

 

Beach on the north eastern side of Oahu. (It's name, we think, is Sandy Beach.)

Peifang on Waikiki Beach.

The indoor waterfall at the Hyatt Regency where we stayed.

Picture just before we got on the Atlantis Submarine. Diamond Head, extinct volcano tip that defines the Oahu/Waikiki skyline, was in the background. We could see Diamond Head and Waikiki beach from our room's Lanai, but Waikiki's rather noisy for relaxing on the lanai.

Cousin Lili and submarine.

Pearl Harbor. Arizona Memorial.

Our Lanai in Kauai was decidedly more relaxing than in Waikiki. We could hear the ocean as we fell asleep at night.

Kauai's Waimea Canyon, the "grand canyon of Hawaii." This was on the way to the Napali Cliffs where we could see a little of the coast.
