I don't quite know how to accurately explain what it's like to fly into a tropical paradise. June 1st, I flew to Hawaii to visit my cousin, and to take possibly one of the best vacations of my life. Even after a 9 and 1/2 hour flight, I was wide awake as soon as I hit the open-air airport, and drove across the island to this wonderful view from my cousin's porch.
The very next day, we flew to the Big Island (Hawaii) for a week long stay. On our first spin out of the airport we stumbled upon a scenic route. (Never, ever pass up the scenic route.) Then on our way to Volcanoes National Park, we drove to Akaka Falls, a wondrous 442 foot waterfall. The whole day was probably the best introduction to the tropics that I could possibly ask for. Here are some black and white photos from that first day on Hawaii.

Beautiful trees.
A coconut on a beach - how much more tropical can you get?!
I adore these trees with their fabulous roots.
More roots. A tree at Akaka falls.
