You can't visit a tropical destination without seeing some of the colourful sea life. Megan and I had our 5th day in Honolulu all to ourselves, so we decided to visit the local aquarium...

We found Nemo!

Twisted trees and eroded cliffs. Hanauma Bay, Hawaii. This is where we spent our 4th day...

During our 2008 trip to Hawaii we visited Pearl Harbor, and while I could post a picture of the Battleship Missouri or the USS Arizona Memorial, I've decided to share a couple of photos of a friend we made while having lunch...

It's a zebra dove, and yes he has a deformed foot, but he's adapted and was very social.

Or perhaps he just wanted our Doritos...

Two years ago today I married my best friend and high school sweetheart on this beach near the Northwestern tip of Oahu. It was the happiest day of my life so far...

My friends, I'm going to do something a little different here this week. For the rest of this week I've decided to post some previously unpublished photos from my trip to Hawaii 2 years ago.

There are two reasons I'm doing this: The first is to mark the second anniversary of the day I married my best friend Megan (Nov. 24, 2008); and the second is because I'm a little tired of the snow and ice we've been getting here in Victoria this week, so I like to look back at these photos and dream of warmer places.

Again, these photos were never posted anywhere before now, not even on facebook, so this will be a nice treat.

We'll start with the view from our 17th floor hotel room on our first day there, Nov. 23, 2008...

There is one thing I like about snow, and that's photographing it...

I spotted this little bandit around 1:00 this morning on my way home from a friend's house...

I know it's not the best photo, but the little guy and his buddies were moving pretty quickly. This was the best shot I could get.

Well, rest of Canada, Victoria, BC gets snow and ice too...

Too much text messaging...

This photo was not staged. Megan and I were watching TV last night and Merlin jumped up onto the coffee table and just flopped down by my phone. Our camera just happened to be within arm's reach. :)

There are a lot of really small pieces to paint on the model I'm building! Fortunately I have a parts holder with a built in magnifying glass...

*Please note: The paint job is still in the early stages and will be touched up.
