The conference trip to Hawaii was very nice. Here are a few memorable places:




Waipio valley, on the northen shore of the Big Island. A STEEP walk down and up. Great black sand beach that lead to waterfalls.





The beach at the bottom of Waipio valley.





Dusk at Secret Beach on Kauai, looking towards Kilauea Lighthouse.





The little island with seals near Kilauea Lighthouse.





Ke'e Beach at the beginning of Na Pali cliffs. We saw a great number of sea turtles while snorkeling there.





Hiking on the Kalalau Trail at Na Poli coast.





The green valley lookout to Mt Waialeale on Kauai.





Kilauea Caldera, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.





Iki Crater.





Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, in front of some smelly sulfur minerals.





Outrigger (where we stayed at on the Big Island).





Hilton (where the conference was).





The Buddha at Hilton.
