The Big Island

June 3 - 7, 2004

The final segment of our trip brought to us the original reason for our Hawaiian vacation - Paul and Katlyn's wedding.

Carrie and Jim actually liked this island better than Maui. The historical/cultural elements have been well preserved here. Plus, since we are interested in the whole nature thing, this island had more to offer. Like the Maui section, we'll try and summarize the main points through the captions underneath the pics.
