So here is a tree to start the journey of an INCREDIBLY long hike....
And here is Diamond Head the mountain in which i took the INCREDIBLY long hike....
Here is about half way up Diamond head & i must say that i was COMPLETELY unprepared for the journey & have put shame to myself & my family....
Isn't this a gorgeous view though? lol. I thought so... lolNow... here is where i stopped... i know go ahead YELL at me for all i care. lol. I yelled at myself now i can give all the excuses i want it was that time of the month (which it was & i am NOT athletic at all during that time lol) or i am not physically up to par, or i didnt drink enough water... all of which i find valid excuses but the FACT is i didnt climb all the way to the TOP of diamond head & i admit it... lol. Wish that i could have embraced the beautiful view and that that would have made the journey of basically KILLING myself worth it but i wasn't ANY where near in shape at this point adminster myself to trekk on up another 200 & some odd stairs...
So i would like to say sorry that i could not capture the beautiful view that i know was up there waiting for me. Hopefully you enjoy these pictures in the mean time... :(Still a Happy Monday!!!

I think you did a fantastic job! Look at how far you came! That's really something. And you admit it with pride, that's just way cool.
Your photos are once again gorgeous. I LOVE the one of that tree, it's so cool :)
you'll just have to go back to hawaii and make it to the top then! i know...who wants to go back to hawaii? :P
the pictures you did take were great though! love the one of the winding trail - that hike was definitely brutal, that's for sure!
The pictures are amazing!!! Even though you didn't make it to the top we can still capture the beauty of the land! Man I wanna go!
Still ... great shots! You're not the first one to not make it!
Water is the 1st thing I know i need to have for that hike. The being shape part ... if you're not under time constraints, don't worry ... stop & enjoy the views. Go get'em the next time you're here! :-)
My Hubby and I actually made it to the top of Diamond Head about 5 years ago. I never, ever thought we would do it. Overweight and old and unprepared should have been deterents but our Grandkids pushed us forward and totally red-faced, sweaty and out of breathe we did arrive at the top.
I do know what you were going through. Hope your vacation is truly wonderful.
That's not an easy walk for anyone! You still got some great photos!
