Aloha Hawaii -- A Once In a Lifetime Opportunity ...

When the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came knocking to visit Hawaii, our family opened the door -- actually, we flung it open.  We hit the books researching the islands, booking military accommodations, plotting the Costco's (we still had a budget to adhere to!) and executing our excursions.  We vowed to make the most of this adventure, realizing we would not be able to replicate it once we were back in our native country.  What followed was a 3-island (Oahu, Kauai and Maui) experience that we will forever look back upon with wonder, amazement and fondness.  Maholo Hawaii.                                                                                                  (Click to link to full size image)
