Pictures from Hawaii

In January of 2003 I went to visit Claudia and her family (Andrew and Tisha) at their home in Honolulu.  Several highlights: visiting the Big Island and seeing Volcano and Kona, snorkeling in Hanouma Bay, running on the streets of Honolulu, meeting some of Claudia's friends, visiting the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor - oh, and officially getting engaged.  For more pictures of Hawaii, see also Pictures from Hawaii (2) and Pictures from Hawaii (3).

On the Big Island: Sam and Claudia at the beach where Captain Cook was killed (left) and overlooking the main Halemaumau caldera (directly behind Volcano Lodge) (right).
