Hawaii 2012 Snorkeling
Lawai beach across the road from our timeshare
on Kauai had the best snorkeling of our trip, even though the water wasn't as
clear as at Molokini. Other pictures from around
Maui and some from Poipu beach on
Kauai.

| Technically, not a snorkeling picture but this
young Monk Seal was resting on the beach across from our timeshare
when we went there to go snorkeling. |

Maui had the clearest water and a lot of fish but not as many as we had at Lawai.
