Thar She Blows!! Whale Watching in Long Beach

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 00:17:50 +0000

My best friend Meryl and I on our first ever whale watching adventure tour in Long Beach, California. We were fortunate enough to spot two gray whales, a mother and her calf, making their way back to the waters of Alaska for some yummy food. One less thing on the bucket list :] I recommend going on a whale watching tour for sure!! First song: “Clouds” by Cipes and the People 2nd and 3rd song: “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” and “He Mele No Lilo” by Kamehameha Schools Children’s Chorus & Mark Keali’i Ho’omalu (Lilo and Stitch Movie Soundtrack)

Lava Breakout at Night! (Big Island, Hawaii)

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:32:12 +0000

In September 2002, we took our third trip to the Big Island. We came here simply because we had seen on the news that Pu’u ‘O’o was sending surface flows close to the end of Chain of Craters Road in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.

We were here a year earlier and had to hike about 2.5 miles over the lava fields to reach the surface flows. We felt that if we could see them without a repeat of such great effort, it would be well worth the expense.

We were correct!

We ventured down to the end of Chain of Craters Road on two consecutive mornings before dawn and found the lava crossing right at the end of the road. Even if you were wheelchair bound, you could have accessed these flows!

As we looked uphill towards Pu’u ‘O’o we saw nothing but black with glowing tiny streams of orange coming towards us. With clouds blocking most light from moon and stars, the majority of light came from the glowing lava. It was rather eerie to see the orange streams glowing in the middle of all that darkness.

We walked out onto the flows to get a closer look.

I found an interesting spot where the lava was flowing slowly on both sides. I set up my tripod and video camera and started recording.

This video segment is simply a breakout that happened no more than 30 feet from my position. I was just glad to be able to see it from such close proximity.

Ancient Lava Tube Exits Over the Water (Big Island, Hawaii)

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 22:51:06 +0000

***APRIL 2008 UPDATE:*** They have sealed this lava tube! For photos, go to this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/17144603@N02/sets/72157604748683242/

We had a very unique experience on The Big Island’s southwestern shore. Hiking south along the coastal trail from Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau, we found the lava tube mentioned in our guidebook. It was a tough crawl through the center of it, but once we reached the end, we had a unique perch.

The lava tube ends abruptly over the water. It was about 20 feet or so down to the water. And the water looked deep enough for us to jump. However, we did not indulge.

While we stood there snapping some photos and taping our experience, a small tour boat came along and slipped into a cave below us.

Hawai’i, Episode 1: 1st week in Hawai’i

admin — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 19:10:31 +0000

We moved away from everyone/thing we knew and want to share our lives and what we see with family and friends. We made the long move from Austin TX to Kailua-Kona HI. This video is our first week in town.

NOTE: music removed by youtube and they have removed the option to mute the video, instead they force you to choose something from their very sad music library. music used to be Regina Spektor-Us. Also, the tour at the end can not be heard due to the replaced audio track. sorry for the change in video. this mainly sucks because now this video with the horrible audio swap track is the only existing version of episode 1, thanks youtube you jerks!
