Well, it's back to reality here in the Great Northwest!!! Clouds, rain and even some snow late in March! Can't wait for the temperatures to rise above 40, so I can get some yard work done! (That's my observatory in the corner of the yard). WHERE'S GLOBAL WARMING WHEN YOU NEED IT???!!!Tuesday, April 1, 2008

KONA: In Pics
After some fun in the surf.Dwight, Kurt, Me
("50-somethings...")
One afternoon, we all went to an outdoor marketplace and had shaved ice, which is just like a snowcone, except the ice is "shaved" very fine, like snow! While we were enjoying this refreshing treat, a gecko wandered down the umbrella pole at our table. Curious as to whether geckos like shaved ice, I offered it some. Yes....geckos like shaved ice. He came back several more times for refills!!!!!
Did lots of snorkeling and took lots of underwater video. But....STAY AWAY FROM THE CORAL!!!!Ouch.
Yes...I did pick up a guitar briefly while in Hawaii!!!! This was at a BBQ at Kurt and Serena's house in Kona.
Buds for life! At the BBQ.
This is the view of Paul Mitchell's house from the beach. (He is the hair products guy...remember?)Thursday, February 28, 2008
KONA day 8
This is my last day here in paradise. So sad....too bad.....
Dwight, Doug, Frank, Cindy and I drove south from Kona to do some sightseeing around the coffee country and the area where alot of the "locals" live. We stopped at the "Painted Church", then Doug, Frank and Cindy wanted to pick up some genuine Kona coffee.
Went to Place of Refuge and then did some snorkeling at a spot that I hadn't been to. Saw lots of corral and even a moray eel (Video to be posted later). I also took some hide off my leg on some corral coming back to shore. Oh, well....no pain, no gain!
On the way back to the condo, we stopped and got some Donkey Balls (chocolate covered Macadamia nuts). Then the whole group met at "Lulu's" and had dinner. Went back to Frank and Cindy's condo and visited for a couple of hours. Dwight, Frank and Doug drove me to the airport for a 10:25 p.m. flight. Sure was hard to leave, especially after spending the past several days with old friends.
Thanks, guys for the wonderful time and the great memories!!! Hope to do it again soon..........
