Hawaii Vacation in Wakiki, Hololulu and Kaanapali, Maui with couple of friends. With over 6.5 million visitors a year — more than all the other islands of Polynesia combined — Hawaii is the best known and most often visited part of Polynesia. We enjoyed some wondering water activities such as Scuba Diving, Para-sailing, Jet skiing, Bumper Tubing, Sun Bathing, Snorkling...etc. Also visited Polynesian Cultural Center, USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbour, Dole Pineapple Plantation and Maze, and Maui Ocean Center. The Polynesian Culture Center has created seven South Pacific villages in which you might witness a war dance, see training in fireknife practices, sample poi or coconut bread and even throw a Tongan spear or two.  
 
The USS Arizona Visitor Center is located on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base adjacent to the sunken remains of the USS Arizona. The memorial is a very popular site in Honolulu and the crowds at all hours of the day can be overwhelming. A visit to the USS Arizona Memorial is a solemn and sobering experience, even for those who were not alive when the attack occurred. You are literally standing over a grave site where 1177 men lost their lives. The Dole Plantation is a renovated, working pineapple plantation that blends old and new. The Dole Plantation is dedicated to the perpetuation of the Hawaiian agricultural heritage. You can learn how the Dole enterprise grew from a two-horse farm to the largest producer and marketer of pineapples in the world. This is also the home of the world's largest maze as officially recognized in the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records. The maze covers more than two acres with 1.7 miles of paths planted with 11,400 colorful Hawaiian plants.  
 
Also don't forget to visit the Maui Ocean Center which is a must do in Maui. There is a hugh 750,000 gallon shark tank with over 20 lively sharks and this is one of the best aquarium experiences on the globe. There is also a 360 degree tank with glowing jellyfish as well as multiple pools for touching and interacting with the sea life. Everything swimming around and in the Maui Ocean Center is from Hawaiian waters. Enjoy the photos!

Hi, how are you?

Nice meeting you here! As you probably noticed, I love taking pictures. Photography, to me, is about the intellectual joy and excitement to "hunt" for a good photograph, be it in travels or in capturing a particular moment in life or in expressing a specific perception. A little bit of my background, I graduated in MBA from Santa Clara University and got my Computer Science degree from University of Wisconsin, Madison. This website and the photos are all made by me unless otherwise stated, I invite you to check out my favorite photos below and explore the rest of my website. Feel free to send me an email if you have any comments: prestonlau@gmail.com. Check out some of my best photos below:
