Hawaii Honeymoon

I finally made it to Hawaii!!!! We were there for 10 days. It was so much fun! We did a cruise that went to 4 different islands: Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai. I took over 400 pictures, but only posted about 20. To see 200 of the best pictures, you can go to my facebook link at the bottom of this post :)
The first day on our cruise! Everyone loved our shirts :)
We were 2 hours early for our first excursion...we were excited! Relaxin at the pier
Wailea beach in Maui...voted one of the top beaches by the Travel channel
We went boogie boarding





This is a Banyon tree. This particular tree is the 2nd largest of its kind in the world. It spans over 1 block. The first largest is in India.

We went surfing in Maui too! It was awesome and both of us got up everytime. I surfed all the way to the beach a few times!



Here is a picture of both of us with our surfing instructor...we got private lessons for a group price!

Shave ice!! Super tasty and very popular in Hawaii
Remember the Newlywed gameshow on our other cruise? Well, this cruise had one too...and Matt and I were contestants. They asked really embarassing questions, but guess what? We won!! We won a bottle of champagne, a 25 minutes couples massage, and a bag of goodies.

Rainbow Falls in Hilo
This is a live volcano...but the day we went, the sulfur was really high so it wasn't very clear. It was really cool to see in person, but harder to take pictures of.
Inside the lava tube...a cave-like tunnel created from lava!
See our ship in the background? This is in Kona
We got henna tattoos! Here is a picture of mine. Matt got a turtle.
In Kauai, we rented mopeds!!


This is our Luau attire! The luau was really fun and definitely worth going to once.
Hawaii was beautiful and I would love to go back one day! It was an awesome honeymoon!!
Here is a link to 200 of my pictures on facebook for a more detailed look at the honeymoon:

Great pictures! I wish I were back in Maui now!:-( Wailea IS the best beach in Maui..we stayed at the Grand Wailea when we went. I had a picture taken in just about the same spot as you and Matt. Glad you had a great time. Aren't the ABC stores great? I was at one almost everyday picking up odds and ends.
