Em has great memories of snorkeling in Hanauma Bay when she was little. I glad to say that she, and I, were not disappointed after returning some 20 odd years later. Back in the day, they did not have the multi-million dollar educational facility at the top. In fact, no one was discouraged from walking on the reef or say... feeding the fish potato chips!

We arrived so early that we didn't have to pay to park or to get into the park, woo hoo! In this photo we are waiting on the beach, during the sunrise, until the rental facility opens. On our second trip here we brought snorkeling equipment from the Kailua house. Unfortunately, it didn't really work well with Em's nose, or lack thereof.

After snorkeling to our hearts content we felt a bit superior in that we didn't have wait in line or pay like these schmucks.

Em's rocking the baby belly in this shot looking down at the bay.

The other place we went snorkeling was at Sharks Cove on the North Shore, the site of the wet camera fiasco.
