OH MAN!! Those were beautiful!! I resisted the sunset pictures, the scenes of the cities and all of them but when it came to that whole rainbow, I HAD to save it to add to my rainbow collection. I have never seen a picture as beautiful as that one with the rainbow.. That will make a awesome background!! Hope that is ok with you!

Amazing pictures, Jessica. I love the picture of the little Java Rice Finches. They're such sweet little birds and I loved seeing a picture of them in the wild. It looks like you both had an incredible time, but how could you not in such a gorgeous place.

Wow, what an adventure! I'm glad you had fun.
I love the pictures of the pigs in the sand. At first glance it appears like snow.

Gosh, these pictures and the pictures Alyssa posted from her cruise make me want to take one.

Thanks for sharing.

Actually it was much bluer; the pics in Fanning make the water look green because we had my camera in Underwater Mode which puts a green filter on to make images underwater more "natural" colored" But above the surface everything else looks green, as you can see. I didn't realize it would do that until I get home haha.

Pics from later in the trip though are more exact

But yeah -- the water was so blue and pristine and CLEAR, everywhere!

I am amazed at the beauty! Wow gorgeous GORGEOUS pictures. What a wonderful vacation you had. I must ask, since that ship looks familiar. What cruise line was it? I just recently went on Norwegian Cruise Lines and LOVED it! You are SO lucky to have gone to Hawai'i It is something I have always wanted to do. Those pictures were gorgeous!

Yeah we were with NCL, our ship was Pride of Aloha. Must say I was not too impressed; the ship looked old and run-down, everything was faded, it needed a new paint job BADLY, the inside of the ship smelled AWFUL, and the outside was rusting badly.

I was also a little upset about their "freestyle cruising, you don't have to dress up if you don't want to unless you don't want to eat good food in which case bring nice clothes". Like, seriously, unless you wanted to eat at the buffet every night you needed nice clothes. And you couldn't wear flip-flops to dinner because it would "ruin the atmosphere". Um, ok. I was asked to leave from Crossings (sit down restaurant) because I was wearing flip-flops (but in a nice dress, I looked much nicer than the other old folks in line with their cotton shorts and screen printed shirts...) so I actually had to buy nice shoes in Maui just to eat a nice dinner. AND when I finally did get in, what did I see but every other person in line in front of me got in... wearing flip-flops...

But otherwise it was good, I just wish their customer service representatives were a little more knowledgeable on the cruise nad the shop and what is and isn't allowed because we called beforehand to ask about a dress code and they said there wasn't one anywhere. =/
