Do you realize I have not taken a tylenol in almost an entire week??? i LOVE relaxing! Who knew it could be a cure for chronic headaches!! (this was a comment I just left over at Middle Aged Dating, but I thought I would share, since it is awfully amazing.....) To continue the tale, on Sunday, after I left Hapuna Beach, I headed north, through Hawi and Kapa'au, and went all the way around to the end of the road at Pololu Valley. What a difference in climate! In Kona, it is dry-ish and brown and lots of lava fields, but man, you get to the North tip and all of a sudden you are in rain forest! The ferns and flowers and trees! It turned very misty, and over-cast and then it was spitting a little rain by the time I got to the end of the road.
The view was spectacular, but I think I will come back another day and maybe hike down. Thanks to the motorcyclists, I was able to make a 15 point U-turn to get my self back down. Damn mid size car!!O
n the way back to Kona, I stopped at another beach that was all lava, but apparently has good snorkeling...there was some big family thing going on and I felt like I was intruding, so I left...but I COULD go back, since I am HERE for awhile, right?? Monday morning, I was greeted at the door
by one of the supposed mosquito eaters, a lovely gecko. Judging by his size, I would say he had eaten a lot, but if you look at my legs, you will notice he missed quite a few. Can you be allergic to mosquitos? I mean, the welts I get from the bites are amazing.That day, I went to the Old Airport Beach, which is, (do I really need to say it), at the Old Airport. It was deserted! I had only been there 10 minutes when a gorgeous tan young man asked me to put sun screen on his back...Now, I KNOW he was probably just checking to see if I had a camera or any expensive stuff worth stealing, or maybe he just likes old, pale, fat mainlanders,
but whatEVER...I immensely enjoyed running my hands down his back and over his muscles...oh...my...sorrry. I will lick the drool off my chin. Other than that, I don't think I spoke to another soul.I took my car back to the airport in the late afternoon (has a $10 a day weekend rate, that I couldn't quite get them to extend for the rest of the trip), and got a cute little red car - an aveo I think. I went back to the same beach and watched the sun set....and those photos have not yet been uploaded...so I will end for now....
I have to write about the guy with the guitar at sun set, and the naked baby :-)
Aloha!

have more fun and keep relaxing
there is snorkel gear at the house i am staying, as well as beach chairs and umbrellas and mats and all manner of necessities...aloe vera gel, mosquito repellent :-) I DID find the little blue church, and the farmer's market :-)
I am jealous of where you are right now!!!
Hey girlie, can you remove me from your reader then re add me?? That may work?
i tried that....MJ...i will try again as you are way down at the bottom as if you had't been posting! I was wondering where you were
Key West and Hawaii.
Two of the best places on earth.
Our first trip with the kids we're going back to Hawaii (don't care which island). Screw Disneyland.
i lived in ft lauderdale for years and never made it all the way down to Key West...I'd stop for that daiquiri in Islamorada and never make it back to the car...and capt, do it!!! probably not any more expensive than that mouse kingdom and much better memories and food!!
