2nd anniversary trip to the islands of Oahu and Hawaii. 8 days of tropical sightseeing in late November. We visited Oahu for 3 nights, the Big Island for 4. Read my blog post entitled 8 Crazy Days in Hawaii for more!

Here you can see why it's called the Steaming Bluff. The dark blue thing in the background is Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano.
