Wendy's Skins Golf match at Kaanapali


The Bear, Nicklaus himself.


I love how he has his own logo on his glove and hat etc.





The mob of autograph seekers. He was very patient with everyone and didn't leave until everyone had their thing signed. Even mine! I got all the old guys to sign a score card from the course for me.


Jack sunk a shot from the greenside bunker and got a big hug from his playing partner Tom Watson.








The Black Knight, Gary Player from South Africa. Coolest guy you'll ever meet. Must be getting close to 70 and he is in great shape. He still does his calisthenics every day and is the most upbeat friendly guy ever.





Arnold Palmer, the king, need I say more....well maybe just a little more, he is like 78 now and can still make some shots.





The unmistakable finish of Arnie.

The geckos here are really cool looking, colorful and more cartoon like.


We got to swim with a few of these guys at the Hilton's Dolphin Quest program.








A neat church called the Painted Church or Blue Church...although it's not really blue.


Whale!

Chain of craters road in the Volcanoes state park.

















Rainbow Falls.


Rock bluff right near most southern point of all the Hawaiian islands, and the US.





Hilton, Wiakaloa. Crazy big resort that even has boats to take you around to different areas of the resort....as well as a monorail train!

More Random Maui Pics


Ho'okipa beach, large swell rolling through.



These waves don't look big but you could easily fit 2 to 3 men standing on top of each other in those waves.




Gecko I think. I see brown ones all the time but this is the first bright green one I have seen.



The traditional Hawaiian habiscus flower.



A couple flamingos at the Hyatt Maui.



Sunset, need I say more.



Sunset, slower shutter speed to get the dreamy water.



Fisherman at Napili Bay at evening.



Humpback whale breaching off Napili Bay.



Doing a little surfing in some small waves.



End of a small ride...I mean me ripping it up.
