Last day filled with snorkeling -- so many sea turtles this time! For lunch we went to Honu where we sat on the back deck overlooking one of the snorkeling spots and watched the sea turtles surf in the waves. #honu #hawaii #honeymoon #hi #snorkeling #hawaiioceanraft #seaturtle #maui #lahaina #lanai

What do you do when you're out of your mind with exhaustion and have no plans for the rest of the day? Go to the aquarium of course! #mauioceancenter #maui #hawaii #hi #shark #chameleon #jellyfish #octopus #honeymoon

Woke up at one thirty today to get up to Haleakala national park to see the sun rise through the clouds and over the Crater. Worth it, but so freaking cold! (and early)

Today was an active day. Started out with an early morning kayak in which a few sea turtles cozied up to the kayak. Followed that up with a successful surfing lesson (photos taken by the professional are currently on a USB stick to be downloaded once we get home). #mauikayak #lahainakayak #kayak #maui #hawaii #hi #honeymoon #surf #surfing #goofyfoot #goofyfootsurfschool

A bit of a free day today. Went to the beach to just lounge around and saw a few sea turtles pass. Probably there were more but I was engrossed in my beach read. Apparently if you jump in the ocean without thinking with your fitbit on it can take a few waves. A sunset cruise with Pride of Maui to top off the day. #beach #turtle #honu #seaturtle #hi #hawaii #maui #prideofmaui #sunset #selfie #vacation #honeymoon #fitbit #chargehr

Snorkeled at Coral Gardens this morning (was supposed to be Molokini Crater but the wind was wrong). Thanks to Maui Marine Images LLC for the phenomenal photos and to the Four Winds II for a phenomenal time! #maui #hawaii #hi #honeymoon #coralgardens #snorkeling #mauimarineimages #fourwindsii

New day, new island. Top left is the view from the plane, bottom left is the view from our private lanai. Right is the whaler who greeted us into town. #maui #hi #hawaii #ginger #honeymoon

Hiked the Sleeping Giant or Nou Nou Trail. Another muddy, wet hike, although this one was only four miles. Afterwards we took it easy and shopped a bit in Kapaa, then hiked down to the Queens Bath. For dinner, a Blue Hawaiians then some ice cream. Not bad for the last day in Kaua'i. #sleepinggiant #hike #nounou #wailea #kauai #hi #honeymoon #hawaii

Stood under the trees today where Alan Grant discovered dinosaur eggs in the wild bits of Jurassic Park and realized that life, indeed, had found a way. Across the street we viewed Spouting John, which hissed like a lizard when spouting.

Rode a UFO for a sunset cruise with Na Pali Tour Hanalei. This is the view from the water of the trail we hunted a few days ago. #napalicoast #hanalei #hanaleibay #hawaii #hi #kauai #sunset #napalicoast #ufo #catamaran

Walked the Kalalau trail today - eight miles there and back if you include the falls. We saw a bunch of people wearing light colored shorts early on the trail, and I'm guessing they were sorry later. By the end, we were hot, tired and covered in red mud. But the views were totally worth it (well, maybe the waterfalls were not worth the additional and treacherously scary trek but the coast was). #hi #hawaii #kalalautrail #sotired #worthit #kauai #honeymoon

#tbt to TEN freaking years ago! #throwback to my senior year of college, when the Glenn Wallichs Theatre Student Union put on a mainstage production of Barefoot in the Park. 10 years ago, we were performing on that stage to sold out houses. #uofr #throwbackthursday #universityofredlands #gwtsu #barefootinthepark #glenwallichstheatre #redlands #california #theatre #acting #college #nostalgia #bulldogs #maroonandgrey

Not all that much #wildlife around on this cold, windy day but driving along Dune Road we managed to spot this Great Egret, green lores and all. The green around its eyes shows up for breeding season among with what's called bridal plumage. Unfortunately no plumage displays today. #greategret #egret #birds #birdsofinstagram #duneroad #dunerd #westhampton #westhamptonbeach #longisland #newyork #bridalplumage #greenlores #wildlife_collective #animalelite #nuts_about_birds
