As my holiday gift to you, here are some images of our vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii in July:

Active volcano: Puu Oo Crater (lava has already reached the sea).

Waipio Valley (beautiful black sand beach).

Hilton Waikoloa Lagoon: Petting the dolphin’s belly. (That’s me in goggles on the far right.)

Our friend, C0hiba, treated us to lunch in Waikoloa and took our picture. (He didn’t want me to take his photo. Too bad!) Mahalo, C0hiba! Let’s keep in touch.
DAVID AND I WISH ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! Or as we say in Hawaiian: MELE KALIKIMAKA!

Great photos. I would like to experience Christmas in paradise some day. Hawaii sounds so exotic. It is so far from where I live, it is on the other side of the globe. We are just starting to celebrate Christmas morning here on the east coast of the U.S.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too Gigi. Those photos bring back memories, especially the waterfall. I have cousins living on the Big Island, but I can’t tell you their last name because they combined last names when they married (so confusing).
