September '99 O'ahu with
Natalie and Mori
This was the first trip we took with my first digital camera. |

The view of the pool from Natalie and Mori's balcony. |
 |
The view to the south from their balcony - Maunalua Bay in
the distance. |
 |
As we drove toward Honolulu along the coast to pick
Natalie up from work, we stopped a couple of times so I could test the
telephoto lens of my new camera. |
 |
At one of our stops we decided to get a group shot so I
mounted my camera on a small "toy" tripod and sat it on the
car fender - this was my first attempt to use it. I had just sat down
beside Sharon after setting the timer, when we noticed the camera start
to slide off the car; yes, showing amazing speed for an ol' guy, I did
catch it before it hit the ground. |

When you travel with Mori, things seem to have a pace (or
lack there of) of their own. Natalie eventually coaxed him off
the roof so we could continue on. We were parked above Diamond
Head Beach Park. |
 |
They took us to a Dolphin show at one of the local resorts
- I took "hundreds" of shots but only had a couple of
"keepers". |
 |
Putting the toy tripod on a non-slip surface allowed us to
get one group picture. |
 |
No, Hanauma Bay is not for the birds, it just seemed like
it for a while. |
