    Kona — the big island 

    There is a LOT to see and do in Hawaii.  On our day in Kona we walked around, enjoyed the warm weather, the sun was hot against our skin (except for the people who went further from the harbor and got rained on), and the waves crashed against the shore and splashed up on to…

  • Hello world!

    Hello world!
