THE BIG ISLAND - HAWAII
October 30 - November 5 we spent the week on the big island of Hawaii at King's Land. We've stayed there before and it's a great location. This week we were in building 24 on the second floor and realized there was a pool and hot tub between our building and the next so we didn't need to walk over to the main pool.

Hapuna State Beach - A beautiful beach on the big island. It was our favorite this week and we visited it twice.
Mauna Kea Beach
Waialea Beach.
Drove to Waimea for a steak dinner at Merrimar's
Volcanoes National Park
A two hour drive to the other side of the island (the rainy side) and it rained all day on us. We had wanted to do the 3 mile hike across the caldera, but the weather kept us from doing that. We drove down to the coast via the Chain of Craters road. By the time we got back up that road it was just misting and we enjoyed walking through the Thurston lava tube.

During our Costco shopping we found some poi! No thanks.
What a great week on the big island. Now off to Kauai!
