Earhart relaxing at The Royal Hawaiian hotel and carving a pineapple with surf legend Duke Kahanamoku in the 1930′s.  A bunch of rare photos of her in Hawaii are being displayed at the Waikiki hotel including some of these.  I’d love to park myself next to her on that couch and hear all about her next adventure!

When she left Hawaii, she became the first person to fly from there to California.  Look at that crowd!  Girl’s a badass.

Earhart is such a badass.  I can’t even BEGIN to imagine the things she’s seen and experienced.  How great are these vintage photos of her?  I read somewhere that she would sleep in her leather jacket to give it more of a worn in look.  As an aviatrix she broke the female stereotype and helped form an organization called ‘The Ninety-Nines’ to support women pilots.  She’s a true inspiration and I love this quote from her…

“The most effective way to do it, is to do it.”  -Amelia Earhart
