I just returned from a week in Hawaii on the island of Kauai with Cathy and Phil & Jenn, and suffice it to say it was the trip of a lifetime.  As I said below, Cathy and I got engaged, which was of course the absolute highlight.  We also saw some beautiful sights and enjoyed some magnificent places.  I’ve culled through many hundreds of pictures to find the best of the bunch, and have posted them in a photo gallery.  I also plan on blogging about some of the highlights later, but for now, here is a sampling of a few of the best shots, along with my Hawaiian Vacation photo album.
