Hawaii - Thursday

Aloha! and welcome to our Hawaii pictures. It's thanksgiving and I'm trying to ignore the noisy people above us stomping on our ceiling all day. Let's give thanks for digital cameras, which helped us take 800 pictures in 7 days. These posts should give you a taste of the trip without having to look through all of them. 

 We caught an early flight which was not easy to get up for. We took the light rail to the airport. Which wasn't too bad. Not really fast, but pretty convenient. 

They had this graphic on a big screen above us for 6 hours so we could watch ourselves inch towards paradise. 

We landed in the middle of a typhoon. We could barely see enough to get onto the rental car shuttle.

This is us trying to get out of the airport in our rental car. As a side note: Apparently Hertz decided that a Malibu was a full size car. Even though it's smaller than an Impala which is also a full size car. I had this discussion for a while with an angry looking Hawaiian woman before finally giving up and taking the Mailbu.

This is Hawaiian food. If you go to Hawaii, go some place that has "Lunch Plate" food. You pick  kind of meat and it's served with two scoops of rice and macaroni salad. I really enjoyed it.

There is only one main road and it goes around the outside of the whole island. On one side you see the ocean. The other side is awesome mountains like this. 

We stopped at a funny little fruit stand and got some pineapple. Avi got a passion fruit smoothie, or as he calls it in hebrew, Pasi Flora

There was perpetually a rainbow.

We went out to the beach the first night to get a picture. It was quite windy and rainy.
