Well, it's official: we're returning to the Big Island for three weeks in August. Nicki and I were last there is 1990 or so. Our friend, Dennis, who had a condo in Kona, was still alive then. We swam with the turtles on Disappearing Sands Beach. We drove to Hilo so that Dennis' mate, Jim, could have dialysis. We drove the ring road, saw fantastic artwork, saw the lava flow, and had a great time. This time we'll be staying on the east side, south of Hilo, near a black sand beach. We might have guests. That would be nice. We had lots of guests when we were in Kawai'i in 2000. It was fun because there were more people to cook fantastic meals. Hawaii shouldnt really be a part of America. It doesn't feel or smell, or look like anything else in America. I guess by that criteria, Nevada shouldnt be a part of America. But Hawaii is also a long, long way from America. Mentally it is as far away as it is possible to get. It's another world entirely. You should come and stay with us. We'd show you around. Or you could show us around. We could hang out and swim with the turtles.
Stumble It!

Thanks, Califfoto. It was just there, just the way you see it. In the middle of nowhere on Kawai'l up above Kapa'a there was this place where someone had planted these perfectly spaced Palm trees in about 2-3 acres of space. I don't know who it was, but the grass was always kept mowed, so it was a place that was tended to lovingly. What you saw was the result of all that.
